Recording from The Mass of Our Celtic Roots 2022
We wrap round ourselves today the great name of the Trinity,
the Three in One, the One in Three, the God who lives eternally.
Christ within us, Christ around us, Christ beside us, Christ surround us,
Christ behind us, Christ before us, Christ to comfort and restore us.
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger,
Christ beneath us, Christ above us, Christ to cherish and to love us.
God it was who made creation, eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of our salvation, salvation is of Christ the Lord.
