Bless to me, O God,
The path whereon I go;
Bless to me, O God,
The thing of my desire;
Thou Evermore of evermore,
Bless Thou to me my rest.
Bless to me the thing
Whereon is set my mind,
Bless to me the thing
Whereon is set my love;
Bless to me the thing
Whereon is set my hope;
O Thou King of kings,
Bless Thou to me mine eye!
As Thou wast before
At my life's beginning,
Be Thou so again
At my journey's end.
As Thou was besides
At my soul's shaping,
Father, be Thou too
At my journey's close.
Be with me at each time,
Lying down and arising,
Be with me in sleep,
Companioned by dear ones. Amen.
(an ancient Celtic prayer)
