The wisdom of my God to teach, His hand to guide, his shield to ward; The word of God to give me speech, His heavenly host to be my guard. 6 I bind unto myself the name, The strong name of the Trinity; By invocation of the same, The Three in One, and One in Three. Of whom all nature hath creation; Eternal Father, Spirit, Word: Praise to the Lord of my salvation, Salvation is of Christ the Lord. Used With Tune: ST PATRICK'S BREASTPLATE

Amen. Used With Tune: ISTE CONFESSOR (2)
