TO THE GUARDIAN ANGEL, by                    
First Line: Watch over me while I'm asleep
Last Line: I pray you, angel, hold my hand!
Alternate Author Name(s): Tastu, Amable
Subject(s): Prayer


Watch over me while I'm asleep,
And, as God bids you, vigil keep;
And every night above my head
Bend down, dear Angel, o'er the bed.
Have pity on my feebleness.
Walk by my side to guard and bless;
Talk to me all along the way.
And, while I hearken what you say,
Lest I should fall, help me to stand;
I pray you, Angel, hold my hand!
