Angel of God, ever at my side
Go to the church for me.
Kneel in my place at Holy Mass
Where I desire to be.

At the Offertory be in my stead
Take all I am and own
And place it as a sacrifice
Upon the Altar throne.
When the Priest Communion takes O!
Bring my Lord to me.
That his sweet Heart may rest on mine.
And I His temple be.
Do pray for those I dearly love
And those that cause me grief
That Jesus' blood may cleanse all hearts.
And suffering souls relieve.
That this Sacrifice divine
May mankind sins efface
And bring my Jesus blessing home
The pledge of every grace.
