Saint Patrick's Breastplate

Críost liom'
Críost romham,
Críost ar mo chúl.

Críost ionam,
Críost fúm,
Críost os mo chionn.

Críost ar mo dheis,
críost ar mo chlé.

Críost im' luí,
Críost im' shuí,
Críost im' éirí dom.
Críost i gcroí gach duine a smaoiníonn orm,
Críost i mbéal gach duine a labhraíonn liom.
Críost i súil gach duine a fhéachann orm,
Críost i gcluais gach duine a cloiseann mé.

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 heart of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
