The Deer's Cry lyrics
I arise today, through the strength of heaven;
light of sun, radiance of moon,
splendor of fire, speed of lightning,
swiftness of the wind, depth of the sea,
stability of earth, firmness of rock.
I arise today, through God's strength to pilot me;
God's eye to look before me, God's wisdom to guide me,
God's way to lie before me, God's shield to protect me,
from all who shall wish me ill, afar and a-near
alone and in a multitude.
Against every cruel merciless power
that may oppose my body and soul,
Christ with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me, Christ in me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise, Christ to shield me.
Christ in the heart of every one who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every one who speaks of me,
I arise today.......

Damien,
I regret I do not know where you can obtain the sheet music. There was someone online that at one time would furnish it gratis so long as you mentioned his name for royalies sake, but I understand after February 08 he no longer has the time to supply the sheet music. You may want to google and see if you might find him and be able to email him to see if you could arrange to get his sheet music. Best wishes, Jeanne

I arise today is a morning prayer for me. It is known as St. Patrick's Prayer for a shield against an ambush by King Laoghaire.
