| :I bind this today to me forever
| |
| :By power of faith, Christ’s incarnation;
| |
| :His baptism in Jordan river,
| |
| :His death on Cross for my salvation;
| |
| :His bursting from the spicèd tomb,
| |
| :His riding up the heavenly way,
| |
| :His coming at the day of doom
| |
| :I bind unto myself today.
| |
| | |
| ::::''3.''
| |
| :I bind unto myself the power
| |
| :Of the great love of cherubim;
| |
| :The sweet ‘Well done’ in judgment hour,
| |
| :The service of the seraphim,
| |
| :Confessors’ faith, Apostles’ word,
| |
| :The Patriarchs’ prayers, the prophets’ scrolls,
| |
| :All good deeds done unto the Lord
| |
| :And purity of virgin souls.

| |
| :I bind unto myself today
| |
| :The virtues of the star lit heaven,
| |
| :The glorious sun’s life giving ray,

| |
| :Against the demon snares of sin,
| |
| :The vice that gives temptation force,
| |
| :The natural lusts that war within,
| |
| :The hostile men that mar my course;
| |
| :Or few or many, far or nigh,
| |
| :In every place and in all hours,
| |
| :Against their fierce hostility
| |
| :I bind to me these holy powers.
| |
| | |
| ::::''7.''
| |
| :Against all Satan’s spells and wiles,
| |
| :Against false words of heresy,
| |
| :Against the knowledge that defiles,
| |
| :Against the heart’s idolatry,
| |
| :Against the wizard’s evil craft,

| :Christ to comfort and restore me.
| |
| :Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
| |
| :Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
| |
| :Christ in hearts of all that love me,
| |
| :Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
| |
| | |
| ::::''9.''
| |
| :I bind unto myself the Name,
| |
| :The strong Name of the Trinity,
| |
| :By invocation of the same,

| :The Three in One and One in Three.
| |
| :By Whom all nature hath creation,
| |
| :Eternal Father, Spirit, Word:
| |
| :Praise to the Lord of my salvation,
| |
| :Salvation is of Christ the Lord.
