I entreat the patronage of St Brigit with the saints of Kildare:
96 may they be between me and pain ! may not my soul be lost !
The nun that used to range the Curragh be a buckler against sharp
edges !
I have found not her like save Mary : we appeal to my Brigit.
10 We appeal to my Brigit. may she be a protection to our host !
100 may her patronage help me ! may we all deserve, may we all escape !
Praise of Christ, famous utterance ! adoration of God's Son,
victorious art !
may every one who has sung it, who has heard it, be of God's Kingdom
25 without denial.
Every one who has sung it, who has heard it, may Brigit's blessing
be on him !
104 the blessing of Brigit and of God be on us together !
There are two nuns in Heaven, who I do not fear will neglect me :
,0 Mary and St Brigit : may we be under the protection of them both !
