Dear Angel, ever at my side

Hymnal: LCNS1885 #210 (1880) First Line: Dear Angel, ever at my side! Lyrics: 1 Dear Angel, ever at my side! How loving must thou be, To leave thy home in heav'n to guide A little child like me. 2 Thy beautiful and shining face I see not, tho' so near; The sweetness of Thy soft, low voice, I am too deaf to hear. 3 I cannot feel thee touch my hand With pressure light and mild, To check me as my mother did When I was but a child. 4 But I have felt thee in my thoughts, Fighting with sin for me; And when my heart loves God, I know The sweetness is from thee. 5 And when, dear Spirit! I kneel down Morning and night to prayer, Something there is within my heart That tells me thou art there. 6 Then for thy sake, dear Angel! now More humble will I be; But I am weak, and, when I fall, Oh, weary not of me. 7 Oh, weary not, but love me still, For Mary's sake, thy Queen; She never tired of me though I Her worse of sons have been. 8 She will reward thee with a smile; Thou know'st what it is worth! For Mary's smiles each day convert The hardest hearts on earth. 9 Then love me, love me, Angel dear! And I will love thee more; And help me when my soul is cast Upon th' eternal shore. Languages: English Tune Title: [Dear Angel, ever at my side!]

Arm for deadly fight
