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.

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.
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.

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

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.

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.
I bind myself to the virtue of Christ.
