Blessing 4 - Gaelic Christening Blessing
Dearest Father in Heaven,
Bless this child and bless this day
Of new beginnings.
Smile upon this child
And surround this child, Lord,
With the soft mantle of your love.
Teach this child to follow in your footsteps.
And to live life in the ways of
Love, faith, hope and charity. | | Blessing 5 - Irish Friend Blessing

For sunlight after showers –
Miles and miles of Irish smiles
For golden happy hours –

For luck and laughter too,
And a host of friends that never ends
Each day your whole life through! | | Blessing 6 - Irish Prayer
May God give you…
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise
And a blessing in each trial.

A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer. |

Blessing 7 - Old Celtic Blessing
May the blessing of light be on you –
light without light within.
May the blessed sunlight shine on you
and warm your heart
till it glows like a great peat fire. | | Blessing 8 - Bless This House
Bless this house, O Lord, we pray.
Make it safe by night and day.
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out.
Bless the roof and chimney tall,
Let thy peace lie over all.
Bless the doors that they may prove
Ever open to joy and love.
Letting in God’s heavenly light.
Bless the hearth a-blazing there,
With smoke ascending like a prayer.
Keep them pure and free from sin.
Bless us all that we may be,
Fit, O Lord, to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we,
May dwell, O Lord, with thee. |
