I bind unto myself
today
The strong name of
the Trinity,
By invocation of the
same,
The Three in One, and
One in Three.
I bind this day to me
for ever,
By power of
faith, Christ's incarnation,
His baptism in the
Jordan River,
His death on cross
for my salvation,
His bursting from the
spiced tomb,
His riding
up the heavenly way,
His coming
at the day of doom,
I bind unto myself
today.
I bind unto myself
today
The virtues of the
star-lit heaven,
The glorious sun's
life-giving ray,
The whiteness of the
moon at even,
The flashing of the
lightning tree,
The whirling wind's
tempestuous shocks,
The stable earth, the
deep salt sea,
Around the old
eternal rocks.
I bind unto myself
today
Your power, O God, to
hold and lead,
Your eye to
watch, your might to stay
Your ear to hearken
to my need
Your wisdom, O my
God, to teach,
Your hand to guide,
your shield to ward,
Your living Word to
give me speech,
Your heavenly host to
be my guard
I bind unto myself
the Name,
The strong name
of the Trinity
By invocation of
the same,
The Three in One, and
One in
three.
St. Patrick
St. Patrick
And his prayer:
May the strength of
God pilot us.
May the power of God
preserve us.
May the wisdom of God
instruct us.
May the hand of God
protect us.
May the way of God
direct us.
May the shield of God
defend us.
May the host of God
guard us
against the snares of
evil
and the temptations
of the world.
May Christ be with
us.
Christ before us,
Christ in us,
Christ over us.
May thy salvation, O
Lord, be always ours
this day and for evermore.
Amen.
