Prayer of Saint Patrick

Christ be near me at either hand

Christ behind, before me stand

Christ with me where ever I go

Christ around, above, below

Christ be in my heart and mind

Christ within my soul enshrined.

Christ control my wayward heart.

Christ abide and never depart.

Christ my life and only way.

Christ my lantern, night and day

Christ be my unchanging friend,
Guide and Shepherd to the end.
Amen.
