Christ Before Me, Christ Behind

I Arise Today Through The Strength Of Heaven: Light Of Sun Brilliance Of Moon Splendor Of Fire Speed Of Lightning Swiftness Of Wind Depth Of Sea Stability Of Earth Firmness Of Rock.

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.

Before I Was Humiliated I Was Like A Stone That Lies In Deep Mud, And He Who Is Mighty Came And In His Compassion Raised Me Up And Exalted Me Very High And Placed Me On The Top Of The Wall.

I Am Patrick, A Sinner, Most Uncultivated And Least Of All The Faithful And Despised In The Eyes Of Many.

For After Chastisement From God, And Recognizing Him, Our Way To Repay Him Is To Exalt Him And Confess His Wonders Before Every Nation Under Heaven.
