Canticle

Christ, as a light
Illumine and guide me
Christ, as a shield
Overshadow me

Christ under me
Christ over me
Christ beside me
On my left and my right

This day be within and without me
Lowly and meek yet all powerful
Be in the heart of each to whom I speak
In the mouth of each who speaks unto me
This day be within and without me

Lowly and meek yet all powerful
Lowly and meek yet all powerful
Lowly and meek and all powerful

Christ as a light
Christ as a shield
Christ when I'm standing
Christ when I kneel
Christ here beside me
On my left and my right
Christ all around me
All my days and my nights
