    I adapted one of my favorite hymns into Spanish from Fr. Caber, performed by the Benedictines of Mary...here’s the audio in English, the Spanish text can be sung to the same hymn tune. Your thoughts? Please feel free to use in your traditional children’s catechesis or low Masses with Spanish speaking congregations! (I can’t imagine this being used for a high Mass)

    Querido ángel cerca a mi
    Que amable has de ser
    Para dejar cielo y hogar
    Y un niño atender

    Tu hermosa y reluciente faz
    Muy cerca siempre está
    Mi oído escucha de tu voz
    Consejo musical

    Abajo solo logro ver
    Pero a mi lado estás
    Tus ojos ven a Dios doquier
    No te vayas jamás

    Mi ángel de mi guarda hoy
    A Dios dale mi amor
    Para servirlo y alcanzar
    El cielo brillador

    Que bello. La poesía queda bien en español.

    I'm not in a position to use this with a choir, but I might have to learn it for personal prayer, if nothing else!
