House Blessing

May God give blessing
to the house that is here;
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! |
