Kind Angel Guardian, thanks to thee,\nFor thy so watchful care of me,\nOh, lead me still in ways of truth,\nDear guide of childhood and of youth.\n2. Kind Angel Guardian, let my tears,\nImplore thee too for riper years,\nOh, keep me safe in wisdom’s ways,\nAnd bring me back if I should stray.\n3. When angry passions fill my soul,\nSubdue them to thy meek control,\nThrough good and ill, oh, ever be,\nA guide, a guard, a friend to me.\n4. And when death’s hand shall seal my eyes,\nOh, bear my spirit to the skies,\nAnd teach me there my voice to raise,\nIn hymns of never-ending praise.
