Guardian angel one for each
Woman, man, and child we teach,
Avowed by God, a truth to hold.
Power side in battles breach,
Goes before in strength and bold
Act; acting, truth be told,
To guard one like a guardian, guarding
Temple treasures, true gold.
I pray your smile is so sweet;
Dying, I’m the first you’re to greet,
With a throng of Heaven’s angels,
And Christ my Lord whom I long to meet.
