I arise to-day
through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
through belief in the threeness,
through confession of the oneness
of the Creator of Creation.

I arise to-day
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 to-day
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 preachings of apostles,
in faiths of confessors,
in innocence of holy virgins,
in deeds of righteous men.

I arise to-day
through the strength of heaven:

I arise to-day
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 every one who shall wish me ill,
afar and anear,
alone and in a multitude.

I summon to-day 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 women and smiths and wizards,
against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.

Christ to shield me to-day

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind 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 every ear that hears me.

Salvation is of the Lord,

May thy salvation, O Lord, be ever with us.
Amen.
