Page 38 of Revelations

The beginning strains of “Guardian Angel from Heaven So Bright” brought tears that leaked out between her eyelids.

Guardian angel from Heaven so bright,

Watching beside me to lead me aright,

Fold thy wings round me, O guard me with love;

Softly sings to me of heaven above.

Beautiful angel, my guardian so mild,

Tenderly guide me, for I am thy child.

Beautiful angel, my guardian so mild,

Tenderly guide me, for I am thy child.

Angel so holy whom God sends to me,

Jar-El-Um’s glory, my guardian to be,

O wilt thou love me, a child of your care?

Be round, above me in thine time of prayer.

Beautiful angel, my guardian so mild,

Tenderly guide me, for I am thy child.

Beautiful angel, my guardian so mild,

Tenderly guide me, for I am thy child.

How I remember that thou art so near!

Thou keep me ever in your tender care.

Waking and sleeping, in labor and rest,

In thy sweet keeping my life is now blessed.

Beautiful angel, my guardian so mild,

Tenderly guide me, for I am thy child.

Beautiful angel, my guardian so mild,

Tenderly guide me, for I am thy child.

Angel, dear angel, O close by me stay;

Shield me, protect me each hour of my day.

Thank you for leading unto God’s door.

Jesus and Mary I praise evermore.

Beautiful angel, my guardian so mild,
