Canticle

Christ as a light, illuminate and guide me
Christ as a shield overshadow me
Christ under me, Christ over meChrist beside me, on my left and my right

This day, be within and without me
Lowly and meek yet all powerful
Be in the heart of each to whom I speak
In the mouth of each who speaks unto me

This day, be within and without me
Lowly and meek yet all powerful
Lowly and meek yet all powerful
Lowly and meek and all powerful

Christ as a light, Christ as a shield
Christ when I′m standing, Christ when I kneel
Christ here beside me on my left and my right
Christ all around me, all my days and my nights

Christ as a light, Christ as a shield
Christ when I'm standing, Christ when I kneel
Christ here beside me, on my left and my right
Christ all around me, all my days and my nights

Christ as a light, Christ as a shield
Christ when I′m standing, Christ when I kneel
Christ here beside me, on my left and my right
Christ all around me, all my days and my nights

Christ as a light, Christ as a shield
Christ when I'm standing, Christ when I kneel
Christ here beside me, on my left and my right
Christ all around me, all my days and my nights

Christ as a light, Christ as a shield
Christ when I'm standing, Christ when I kneel
Christ here beside me, on my left and my right
Christ all around me, all my days and my nights
