Religion
Morning Wish
Translated by Eleanor Hull (1913) · From The Poem-Book of the Gael (1913)
Religion
O Jesu, in the morning, I cry and call on Thee,
Blessed only Son who hast purchased us dearly;
Safeguard my soul under the protection of Thy holy cross,
May sin and loss be kept from me through the course of this day.
