St. Patrick's Breastplate

Christ be beside me, Christ be before me
Christ be behind me, King of my heart
Christ be within me, Christ be below me,
Christ be above me, never to part

Christ on my right hand, Christ on my left hand
Christ all around me, shield in the strife
Christ in my sleeping, Christ in my sitting
Christ in my rising, light of my life

Christ be in all our hearts, thinking about me;
Christ be on all tongues, telling of me;
Christ  be the vision in eyes that see me;
In ears that hear me, Christ ever be
