O holy Angel at my side, go to the Church for me
Kneel in my place at Holy Mass, where I desire to be.

At the Offertory, in my stead, take all I am and own
And place it as a sacrifice, upon the alter throne.

At holy consecration's bell, adore with Seraph's love
My Jesus hidden in the Host, come down from heav'n above.

Then pray for those I dearly love, and those who cause me grief
That Jesus' Blood may cleanse all hearts, and suffering souls relieve.

And when the priest communion takes, Oh, bring my Lord to me,
That His sweet Heart my rest on mine, and I His temple be.

Pray that this Sacrifice Divine, may mankinds sins efface
Then bring me Jesus' blessing home, the pledge of every grace.
