Perfect angels, created before man walked the earth,
eons of time before Lord Jesus Christ was given birth.

   Protectors of lowly ones, those who need tender care,
   can trust in angels, for they are near us everywhere.

      They are adorned in immaculate robes of purest white,
      wings of ethereal beauty hover around us in the night.

         By day they keep a vigilant watch on righteous mankind
         watching, ever guarding against demons who seek to blind.

         Guard us from temptations that lead us to do wrong.
         When we pray for help, we're rewarded with their song.

      Their melodious voices are ones we cannot hear, and yet,
      I'm sure the sound of their chanting we would never forget.

   Seraphs, cherubs, and all the messengers who serve God,
   those myriads upon myriads who await his approving nod.

I pray for the protection of angels as they watch over me.
Beneath their wings I will be safe, now and for all eternity.
