Bless to me, O God,
My soul and my body;
Bless to me, O God,
My belief and my condition;
Bless to me, O God,
My heart and my speech,
And bless to me, O God,
The handling of my hand;
Strength and busyness of morning,
Habit and temper of modesty,
Force and wisdom of thought,
And Thine own path, O God of virtues,
Till I go to sleep this night;
Thine own path, O God of Virtues,
Till I go to sleep this night.
Carmina Gadelica, Hymns and Incantations, Collected in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, by Alexander Carmichael
