Christ, as a light
Illumine and guide me.
Christ, as a shield
Overshadow me.
Christ under me;
Christ over me;
Christ beside me;
On my left and my right.
This day be within and without me,
Lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.
Be in the heart of each to whom I speak;
In the mouth of each who speaks unto me.
This day be within and without me,
Lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.
Christ as a light;
Christ as a shield;
Christ beside me;
On my left and my right.
Attributed to Saint Patrick, bishop of Ireland, 5th century.
