The Angels Rejoiced Last Night Lyrics - Lucy Kaplansky

A house, not a home, was the picture Satan painted 

For sweet little sister and me, our daddy would frown 

While mother was prayin', his heart was so hardened 

That he would not believe 

In anger he'd swear, his voice cold and loud 

His Sundays were spent out with the gamblin' crowd 

I've never seen my daddy inside a house of God 

For Satan held his hand down the path of sin he trod 

Not long ago, our circle was broken 

When God called on mother one night in a voice sweet and low 

Her last words were spoken asking our daddy 

To raise her children right 

The angels rejoiced in Heaven last night 

I heard my daddy pray, "Dear God, make it right" 

He was smiling and singing with tears in his eyes 

While mother with the angels rejoiced last night 

While mother with the angels rejoiced last night
