This is a hymn written by a martyr in Ireland:

Christ shield me today
against poison,
against burning,
against drowning,
against wounding,
So that there may come to me abundance of reward,

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 lay down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in quiet,
Christ in danger,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I especially love the last few lines. I never thought about it like that. This man wrote this only 6 years ago, and his story is pretty cool. He has a story kinda like Elijah when he called down fire. I don't know if I should like his story or not, but either way I like his hymn. OK, I HAVE to go study!
