Angelic Guards

I of the Lord my God will say

He is my re­fuge and my stay;

To Him for safe­ty I will flee

In Him my con­stant trust shall be.

Because thy trust is God alone

Thy re­fuge is the High­est One

No ev­il shall up­on thee come

Nor plague ap­proach thy guard­ed home.

No night­ly ter­rors shall al­arm

No dead­ly shaft by day shall harm

Nor pes­ti­lence that walks by night

Nor plague that wastes in noon­day light.

Angelic guards at His com­mand

Will bear thee safe­ly in their hands

Will keep thee

lest

if left alone

Thou dash thy foot against a stone.
