Here and now the day is a-rising
Full and fresh and filled with wonders
And there for me
Here and now protection's waiting
To shield me from the arrows of my enemies
If I should call
For there is much from which I need protection
And there are many powers to oppose me
I rise today through mighty strength
The invocation of the Trinity
Belief in Three, confessing One
The great Creator of creation
Here and now His strength to guard me
His hand to guide, His shield to protect me
From all the snares
From all temptations and vices
From those who wish me ill, both far and near
I call his name
O warmth of sun and radiance of moonlight!
O splendour of fire and swiftness of wind!
I rise today
