I have heard Rita sing this in Bucharest and in St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, but this Powerscourt version is my favourite recording of the piece. Profound truth sung beautifully! I heard this afternoon that an Irish friend is in hospital and this was the obvious link to send him!
Just saw this lady sing at Cooke park while his holiness pope Francis was visiting ireland during the world meeting of families.... what a beautiful voice, so clear and distinct yet melodious ... in my humble opinion,, I’m very moved by this performance and I’m a new fan of this wonderful voice ☺️
I am so inspired in listening to this BEAUTIFUL song composed by Shaun Davey and sung so clearly by Rita Connolly. I have shared it with family and many friends! Thank you!!!
@@antheaparkes3284 What a better day than today (Saint Patrick's Day) to listen to his beautiful hymn!!! Though, I love listening to it and reflecting on it, every day of my life... blessings 🙏🙏🙏
This prayer is on the marble wall at St. Patrick church in White Lake Township. Just to read it before & after Mass is inspirational. They put it up there in big black letters which I think are also marble.
Lyrics: I arise today through the strength of heaven Light of sun, radiance of moon Splendor of fire, speed of lightning Swiftness of 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 everyone who thinks of me Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me I arise today
My beautiful mum died 1 year ago today. I miss her. We played this as she died.It was her request. I've not listened to it as too painful. I'm crying now listening to it. She was so loved.
I discovered this years ago when it was on a free Celtic compilation CD in The Sunday Times. It is quite exquisite. I'm not a religious person (by far) but this never fails to move me.
Me too. Now my father has died and the song came to mind from that distant time. We will print St Patrick’s Breastplate on his memory card and hopefully sing this beautiful blessing during his funeral Mass.

St. Patrick's Day wouldn't be the same if I didn't listen to this. Magnificent.
Indeed.
Absolutely magnificent voice. What a pure performance. I am shedding tears of joy to hear this. A wonderful prayer.
Give a rest eternal!
perfectly sung. Not a trace of frippery, pure and clean.
Beautiful performance. It is washes away fear and solidifies faith. A good reminder; We are not alone ever.
Too beautiful to express in words.
Truly magnificent setting of St Patrick’s Breastplate and wonderful rendition by Rita Connolly
So beautiful, we should all trust in Him
In this time of mounting fear, Rita's singing brings us into a prayer space I could not have created on my own!
I listen to this every morning since I discovered it. I repeat the piece I arise today. Then the middle bit.

Heard this at a funeral I attended yesterday. It touched my heart. 3:50
Lyrics:
I arise today through the strength of heaven
Light of sun, radiance of moon
Splendor of fire, speed of lightning
Swiftness of 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 everyone who thinks of me
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me
I arise today
Amen!😪😪😪😪😪
We need Jesus Christ every moment of every day.
This exquisite music has been a great comfort to me through a difficult time. Thank you.
Bellísima oración y canción!!!
This resonates with me so completely I believe I must be Celtic.
rita connollys singing is terible
We sang this as the entrance hymn this morning. We have been practicing for weeks.

To be moved by beauty is Religion. All that other stuff is mostly "noise."
Lovely hymn.nice voice..
Wow! Thank you God!

Beautiful. Thank you.
❤
I'm a convinced atheist, but this is powerful and beautiful
Wonderful.
I am in awe of this prayer , but hearing it tonight is wonderful . Thank you
What a beautiful piece of music expertly played and sung thank you so much for uploading this and please keep up the incredible work you all do
Beautiful.
Haunting
AMEN
This song is also on Shaun Davey's "Pilgrim"
I like Liza Eileys version of the song . But I prefer this version. Because she is a Contralto singer as I am.
Does anyone know where I can buy sheet music with guitar chords for this song?
Beautifully sung by Rita Connolly - shame about the mic placement as there is one male voice that is VERY apparent.
Go hAlainn ar fad. Boinn an taithneamh as an La le Phadraigh 🍀🍀🍀
Is this on a cd ? Love it
It's on an album called The Pilgrim by Shaun Davey.
