Lord we are grateful to You,
For You surround us with your angels.
They are our protection,
Sent from You because of Your love.
On our parents knee we learnt God's Word is true,
We learnt to place our trust in You.
A simple prayer we were taught to say
When we ventured out to pray.
"Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
Bless this bed that I lie on.
Four corners to my bed,
Four angels there be spread: ...
If any danger come to me,
Sweet Jesus Christ deliver me..."
The Lord gives His angels charge over us,
To keep us in all our ways.
In their hands they shall bear us up,
Lest we dash our foot against a stone.*
Who are we to laugh and jest
At others who have faced the test.
In their darkest hour of need
God's angels came to intercede.
Surrounding us with God's grace,
They knew we looked upon His face
Prayerfully, in gratitude and love;
So they were sent to intervene from above.
Our situation may be in the past,
But the presence of His angels will always last.
All I say I know is true,
I pray God's angels are there for you too.

*Psalm 91:11-12
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust."
(Psalm 91:1-2)
