May Jesus give blessing
to the house that is here;

May Spirit give blessing
to the house that is here;

May Three give blessing
to the house that is here;

May Brigit give blessing
to the house that is here;

May Michael give blessing
to the house that is here;

May Mary give blessing
to the house that is here;

May Columba give blessing
to the house that is here;

Both crest and frame,
both stone and beam;

Both clay and wattle,
both summit and foundation;

Both window and timber,
both foot and head;

Both man and woman,
both wife and children;

Both young and old,
both maiden and youth;

Both warrior and poet,
both clay and beam;

Both gear and throng,
both crook and tie;

Both bairn and begetter,
both wife and children;

May the King of the elements be its help,
The King of Glory have charge of it;

Christ the beloved, Son of Mary Virgin,
and the gentle Spirit be pouring therein;

Michael, bright warrior, King of the Angels,
Watch and ward it with the Power of his sword;

Mary the fair and tender, be nigh the hearth,
And Columba kindly giving benediction;

In fulfilment of each promise
On those within, On those within!
