Dear Angel ever at my side,
How lovely you must be
To leave your home in heaven,
To guard a child like me.

When I'm far away from home,
Or maybe hard at play
I know you will protect me,
From harm along the way.

Your beautiful and shining face,
I see not, though you're near.
The sweetness of your lovely voice,
I cannot really hear.

When I pray, you're praying too,
Your prayer is just for me.
But when I sleep you never do,
You're watching over me.
