I Am Patrick, A Sinner,

I Grieve For You, How I Mourn For You, Who Are So Very Dear To Me, But Again I Can Rejoice Within My Heart, Not For Nothing Have I Labored, Neither Has My Exile Been In Vain.

I Pray To God To Give Me Perseverance And To Deign That I Be A Faithful Witness To Him To The End Of My Life For My God.

I Am Not Ignorant Of What Is Said Of My Lord In The Psalm: "you Destroy Those Who Speak A Lie." And Again: "a Lying Mouth Deals Death To The Soul." And Likewise The Lord Says In The Gospel: "on The Day Of Judgment Men Shall Render Account For Every Idle Word They Utter."

Christ Be With Me, Christ Within Me, Christ Behind Me, Christ Before Me, Christ Beside Me, Christ To Win Me, Christ To Comfort Me And Restore Me, Christ Beneath Me, Christ Above Me, Christ In Quiet, Christ In Danger, Christ In Hearts Of All That Love Me, Christ In Mouth Of Friend And Stranger.

Christ In The Heart Of Every Man Who Thinks Of Me, Christ In The Mouth Of Everyone Who Speaks Of Me, Christ In Every Eye That Sees Me, Christ In Every Ear That Hears Me.
