Anam

Bless to me O God the earth beneath my foot,

Bless to me O God the path whereon I go,

Bless to me O God the thing of my desire,

Thou evermore of evermore.

Slán agus beannacht leat. (Good night and God bless.)

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.

The eye of the great God,

The God of glory,

The eye of the King,

Of the living,

Pouring upon us at each season.

Glory to thee thou glorious Sun,

Face of the God of Life.

She of my love is the new moon,

The King of all creatures blessing her,

Be mine a good purpose

Towards each creature of creation.

Holy be each thing which she illumines,

Kindly be each deed which she reveals,

Be her guidance on land with all beset ones,

And on sea with all distressed ones.

May the moon of moons be coming through thick clouds,

On me and every mortal,

Becoming through affliction,

May the virgin of my love be coming through

To all in tribulation,

May the King of grace help my hand:

Now and forevermore,

Until my resurrection day.
