[Intro]
I arise today,
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.
I arise today,
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,

of the Creator of creation.
[Verse 1]
In the land of green, under the sky so vast,
St. Patrick stands, his faith forever cast.
With the power of Christ, he shields the day,
"Christus mecum," he begins to say.

On this sacred, emerald night.
"Christus ante me," I chant within,
Christ before me, Christ in me.

Christ before me, Christ in me.

Through the shield of faith, we stand in the light,
Invoking the Trinity, our spiritual might.
"Through belief in the Threeness," our voices rise,
In unity of the Godhead, our creed defies.

"Through confession of the Oneness," we declare,
The Creator of creation, whose love we share.
In the face of darkness, our anthem soars,
"God's wisdom guides us," forevermore.

Bound by divine law, we march with grace,
"God's eye to look before us," in every place.
In the whispers of the wind, His presence there,
"God's ear to hear us," in silent holy prayer.

"God's hand to guard us," from harm's way,
In His embrace, we find our stay.
"God's way to lie before us," we tread His path,
In His footsteps, we fear no wrath.

[Verse 6]
Through His ascension, the heavens adore,
Christ's judgment comes, on the final shore.
In His descent, our fears He'll quell,
With Him, we'll rise, from death's dark spell.

With Him, we'll rise, from death's dark spell.

Through the pain of the cross, His love revealed,
In the silence of the tomb, our fate He sealed.
Yet, in the garden's gloom, the stone rolled away,
His resurrection's might, our steadfast stay.

[Outro]
"God's shield to protect us," from evil's scheme,
In His power, we find our dream.
With words of old, our spirits lift,
In sacred echoes, we find His gift.
"God's shield to protect us," from evil's scheme,
In His power, we find our dream.
With words of old, our spirits lift,
In sacred echoes, we find His gift.
