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,
Lonely and meek yet all powerful.
Be in the mouth of each to whom I speak,
In the mouth of each who speaks to me.
Christ as a light illumine and guide me.
John Michael Talbot after St Patrick’s Breastplate
