Be the eye of God betwixt me and each eye,
the purpose of God betwixt me and each purpose,
the shield of God betwixt me and each shield,
the desire of God betwixt me and each desire,
the bridle of God betwixt me and each bridle,
and no mouth can curse me.

Be the pain of Christ betwixt me and each pain,
the love of Christ betwixt me and each love,
the dearness of Christ betwixt me and each dearness,
the kindness of Christ betwixt me and each kindness,
the wish of Christ betwixt me and each wish,
the will of Christ betwixt me and each will,
and no venom can wound me.
