Lord, My Love, Watch Over Her

This short song is a PRAYER for GOD and His ANGELS to protect and keep a LOVED ONE who is going away for a time. ​
The tune and words of the song came to me seven weeks ago as I was watching my lovely wife Janice drive out our driveway with our daughter Anna, who was taking her to the Philadelphia airport, so she could make an earlier-than-we-had-expected flight to Colorado for a couple of weeks to help at a friend's birth (Janice is a Certified Doula).

Lord, My Love, Watch Over Her

Lord, my Love, watch over her,
As she goes away;
Fold her in bright angel wings— 
Keep her safe, I pray.
Love her as I love her, Lord,
Gently, strongly, keep her, Lord,
Heart of mine, to have, to hold— 
Hold her close today.

Heaven’s child— O keep her, Lord,
Down the^unfolding path;
Heaven’s mercies give her, Lord,
Blessings to the last.
Angels bright attend her, Lord,
Ever to defend her, Lord,
Heaven’s love within her, Lord— 
Keep your child, I ask.
