My dear, guardian angel,
Through this night stay nearby me,
If I should die before I wake,
Take me to heaven's beauty.              

My dear guardian angel,      
Today now is at an end,
God has made you my angel,
He also made you, my friend.

Watch over me during life,
Protect me from the devil's wrath,
In life help me avoid sin,
Help me follow heaven's path.                

God's love is brilliant and bright,              
In which I'll always delight.
