[Mr. Mulliner]

OK, you can have all the angels you want. I've got something better.

Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me;
Christ to comfort and restore me;
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

From the Shield of St. Patrick

Our choir used to sing something similar to that .... it was really beautiful ..... lovely melody as well as the meaningful words. A good friend of ours had the choir sing it at her wedding .... :-)

We sang an Irish Blessing on St. Patrick's weekend at my church (St. Patrick's:) which incorporated those lyrics.
