I arise today - Irish Reflection (with Lyrics)

Music: 'The Deer's Cry': Album: The Pilgrim. A Celtic suite for orchestra, soloists, Pipe band and choir. Music by Shaun Davey, Tara CD, Dublin , 1994. Sung by Rita Connolly.
Words from The Breastplate of St Patrick (also know as St Patrick's Lorica) and is an Old Irish poem, attributed to Patrick.
I arise today, through the strength of heaven;
light of sun, radiance of moon,
splendor of fire, speed of lightning,
swiftness of wind, depth of the sea,
stability of earth, firmness of rock.
I arise today, through God’s strength to pilot me;
God’s eye to look before me, God’s wisdom to guide me,
God’s way to lie before me, God’s shield to protect me,
from all who shall wish me ill, afar and a-near
alone and in a multitude.
Against every cruel merciless power
that may oppose my body and soul,
Christ with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me, Christ in me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise, Christ to shield me.
Christ in the heart of every one who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every one who speaks of me,
I arise today.

We really appreciate your support, Maria. God bless you.

I love this! It is so beautiful. I wish, however, that there was a complete version of the prayer. This is the first part of it. It is said before the line, "I arise today, through the strength of heaven." I arise today Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity, Through a belief in the Threeness, Through confession of the Oneness Of the Creator of creation. I arise today Through the strength of Christ's birth and His baptism, Through the strength of His crucifixion and His burial, Through the strength of His resurrection and His ascension, Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom. I arise today Through the strength of the love of cherubim, In obedience of angels, In service of archangels, In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward, In the prayers of patriarchs, In preachings of the apostles, In faiths of confessors, In innocence of virgins, In deeds of righteous men I arise today, through the strength of heaven...

Beautiful

[@steveharvester8749]

Now with Covid this touches me even more deeply. I’ve seen versions that are too literal-faces of Jesus in heaven-and versions that are too pretty-no cross and thorns when “cruel and merciless powers” are sung. This is perfect, perfect. Thank you.

[@felicity834]
