It reminds me of another across-the-pond prayer, this one by St. Patrick:
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 above me, Christ beneath me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger. ______________

Beautiful -- both the prayer and the timing.
