The Strength of Heaven

I arise today
Through the strength of heaven;
Light of sun,
Swiftness of wind,
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 a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the threeness,
Through confession of the oneness
Of the Creator of Creation.

-- S:t Patrick
