I arise today through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
through the belief in the Threeness, through
confession of the oneness Of the Creator of Creation. +
I arise today through the strength of Christ's birth
with his baptism, through the strength of his crucifixion with his burial, through
the strength of his resurrection with 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
the service of archangels, In hope of resurrection to meet with reward, In
prayers of patriarchs, In predictions of prophets, In
preaching of apostles, In faith of confessors, In
innocence of holy virgins, In deeds of righteous men. + 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 sea, Stability of earth, Firmness of rock. + 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 temptations of vices, From
everyone who shall wish me ill, Afar and a near, Alone and in multitude. + I summon today All these powers between me and those evils,
Against every cruel merciless power that
may oppose my body and soul, Against incantations of false prophets, Against
black laws of pagandom Against false laws of heretics, Against
craft of idolatry, Against spells of witches and smiths and wizards, Against
every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul. Christ to shield me today against poison, against
burning, against drowning, against wounding, So
that there may come to me abundance of reward. + 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 in the
heart of every man who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks
of me, Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ
in every ear that hears me. + I arise today through a mighty strength, the
invocation of the Trinity, through belief in the Threeness, through
confession of the oneness, Of the Creator of Creation.
