St. Patrick's Breastplate

St. Patrick's Breastplate is an Irish hymn attributed to St. Patrick during his Irish ministry.  I've posted parts before and have been meaning to put this one up as well.  It is a wonderful way to start your day.

I arise today
Through the strength of the love of Cherubim,
In obedience of angels,
In the service of archangels ...

I arise today
Through the strength of heaven:
Light of sun,
Radiance of moon,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of wind,
Depth of sea,
Stability of earth, and
Firmness of rock.
