Christ's Cross - A Celtic Prayer
Author Unknown 

Christ's cross to accompany me before. Christ's cross to accompany me behind me. Christ's cross to meet every difficulty both on hollow and hill.

Christ's cross eastwards facing me. Christ's cross back towards the sunset. In the north, in the south, increasingly may Christ's cross straightway be.

Christ's cross up to broad Heaven. Christ's cross down to earth. Let no evil or hurt come to my body or my soul.

Christ's cross over me as I sit. Christ's cross over me as I lie. Christ's cross be all my strength until we reach the King of Heaven.

From the top of my head to the nail of my foot, O Christ, against every danger I trust in the protection of the cross.

Till the day of my death, going into this clay, I shall draw without- Christ's cross over this face.
