(Woman)This day God gives me strength of high heaven

Sun and moon shining, flame in my hearth

Flashing of lightning, wind in its swiftness

Deeps of the ocean, firmness of earth.



(Men) This day God sends me Strength as my guardian

Might to uphold me, Wisdom as guide.

Your eyes are watchful, Your ears are listening

Your lips are speaking, Friend at my side.



(Woman) God's way is my way, God's shield is round me

God's host defends me, saving from ill.

Angels of heaven drive from me always

All that would harm me, stand by me still.



(Both) Rising I thank You, Mighty and Strong One

King of Creation, Giver of Rest.

Firmly confessing God in three persons,

Oneness of Godhead, Trinity blest.
