Angels and ministers of grace defend us

Angels and ministers of grace defend us

The phrase "Angels and ministers of grace defend us" is a powerful invocation that appears in William Shakespeare's play, Hamlet. It is spoken by the character Horatio in Act 1, Scene 4, as he and his companions stand guard on the ramparts of Elsinore Castle. The line is a plea for divine protection and assistance in the face of the supernatural events that are unfolding around them.
