THE GUARDIAN ANGEL
Thou angel of God who hast charge of me
From the dear Father of mercifuhiess.
The shepherding kind of the fold of the saints
To make round about me this night ;
Drive from me every temptation and danger.
Surround me on the sea of unrighteousness,
And in the narrows, crooks, and straits.
Keep thou my coracle, keep it always.
Be thou a bright flame before me,
Be thou a guiding star above me,
Be thou a smooth path below me.
And be a kindly shepherd behind me, /
To-day, to-night, and for ever.
I am tired and I a stranger.
Lead thou me to the land of angels ;
For me it is time to go home
To the court of Christ, to the peace of heaven.
