Great angel of the Lord most high,
I wait the influence of thine eye!
Thy weak, expecting servant see,
And cast the gracious look on me,
The look that may thy virtue dart,
Thy life and love into my heart,
My strength renew, my mission seal,
And all the minds of God reveal!
Great Angel of the Lord most high
