– Patrick, Bishop, Missionary to Ireland - 461

Christ be with me, Christ within me; Christ behind me, Christ before me;
Christ beside me, Christ to win me; Christ to comfort me and restore me
Christ beneath me, Christ above me; Christ in quiet, Christ in danger
Christ in hearts of all that love me; Christ in mouth of friend or stranger.
(St Patrick’s Breastplate)

1 Sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Sing to the LORD, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
4 For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols,
but the LORD made the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and glory are in his sanctuary.
Psalm 97 New International Version
