Clover & Comfort 8x10 Print

“Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me,
Christ before me,
Christ beside me,
Christ to win me,
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.”

This is a hand-drawn design with an excerpt from Patrick’s Breastplate prayer and the hymn inspired by it. It is an 8x10 printed on beautiful, thick cotton paper.

This is taken from Patrick of Ireland and his very well-known Breatsplate Prayer.

You may also be aware (and even sing!) the hymn that was written by Cecil Frances Humphries based on his prayer.

A favorite verse of mine that comes to mind reading this excerpt from Patrick’s prayer is Hebrews 13:8; “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Those who trust in Him are safe and continually shepherded, cared for and loved.
