God's Power To Guide Me

I arise today 

Through a mighty strength:

God's power to guide me, 

God's might to uphold me, 

God's wisdom to teach me, 

God's eye to watch over me, 

God's ear to hear me, 
God's word to give me speech, 

God's hand to guide me

God's way to lie before me

God's shield to shelter me

God's host to secure me

Against the snares of devils

Against the seductions of vices,

Against the lusts of nature,

Against everyone who shall wish me ill,

Whether far or near, many or few
