Lyrics


1. I bind myself
to the power of heaven.
I bind myself to the light of the sun,
the brightness of the moon,
the deepness of the sea;
I bind myself to the power of Christ.
Refrain
Christ with me and before me;
Christ behind me and within me;
Christ to the right of me
and to the left of me;
Christ above me and beneath me:
I bind myself to the virtue of Christ.
2. I bind myself
to the guidance of angels.
I bind myself
to the love of the Lamb,
for he alone is peace
and he alone is light.
I bind myself
to the guidance of Christ.
Bridge
In the eyes of all who see me,
in the ears of all who hear me,
in the hearts of those
who know me:
O God, uphold me.
Uphold me, Lord.
