PRAYER FOR PROTECTION
As Thou art the Shepherd over the flock
Tend Thou us to the cot and the fold,
Sain us beneath Thine own glorious mantle;
Thou Shield of protection, guard us for ever.
Be Thou a hard triumphant glave
To shield us securely from wicked hell,
From the fiends and from the slieve snell gullies,
And from the lurid smoke of the abyss.
Be my soul in the trustance of the High King,
Be Michael the powerful meeting my soul.
