Veillez sur moi, quand je m'éveille,
Bon ange, puisque Dieu l'a dit ;
Et chaque nuit, quand je sommeille
Penchez-vous sur mon petit lit.
Ayez pitié de ma faiblesse ;
A mes côtés marchez sans cesse,
 ... 
Et pendant que je vous écoute,
De peur que je ne tombe en route,
Bon ange, donnez-moi la main.

De engelbewaarder

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Franck)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the French (Français)

Waak over mij, wanneer ik wakker word,
lieve engel, omdat God je dat opgedragen heeft,
en elke nacht, als ik inslaap,
buig je dan over mijn bedje;
heb medelijden met mijn zwakheid,
loop zonder ophouden naast me,
praat met me langs de weg;
en terwijl ik naar je luister,
uit vrees dat ik onderweg zal vallen,
lieve engel, geef me toch je hand.
