From St Patrick’s Breastplate
“I arise today through God’s strength to pilot me:
God’s might to uphold me, God’s wisdom to guide me,
God’s eye to look before me, God’s ear to hear me,

God’s word to speak for me, God’s hand to guard me,
God’s way to lie before me, God’s shield to protect me,

God’s host to save me from snares of devils,
From temptation of vices, from everyone who shall wish me ill:
Afar and near, alone and in a crowd.”
