¹ We invoke holy Patrick, Ireland’s chief apostle.
Glorious is his wondrous name, a flame that baptized heathen.
He warred against hard-hearted wizards.
He thrust down the proud with the help of our Lord of fair heaven.

² He purified Ireland’s meadow-lands, a mighty birth.
We pray to Patrick chief apostle; his judgment has delivered
us in Doom from the malevolence of dark devils.
God be with us, together with the prayer of Patrick, chief apostle.
