Top of Page The Guardian Angel Thou angel of God who hast charge of me From the dear Father of mercifulness, To the shepherding King 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 kinly shepherd behind me, Today, tonight and forever. I am tired and I a stranger, Lead thou me to the land of angels; for it is time to go home To the court of Christ, to the peace of Heaven. Top of Page The Angel Prayer Poem O shining Serphim, Of fire and ruby born, Surround us with love That burns at early dawn. O faithful Cherubim, Of chariots burning bright, Dispel the gloom of sorrow That renders dark the night. O Thrones, the true foundation Of Heaven's Might, Grant us the gift of living In everlasting calm. O bright and true Dominions, Who bring order to chaos, Guide us in righteous living, And from the darkness free us. O Virtues, hope of courage and true grace, Show us the shiny pathway That leads to god's embrace. O Powers almighty, The guards of Heaven's Gate, Guard us from all the evils That hurt and desecrate. O Principalities, who sing with every bell, Bring guidance to our leaders And peace unto the world. O Archangels, Hosts of Heaven, Deep in our souls create The light of true compassion So love becomes our fate. O Angels, our true guardians, Help us redeem our story So we may share with you The joy of Heaven's Glory. Amen.
