Celtic Blessing

The peace of God, the peace of men,
The peace of Columba kindly,
The peace of Mary mild, the loving,
The peace of Christ, king of tenderness,

Be upon each window, upon each door,
Upon each hole that lets in light,
Upon the four corners of thy house,
Upon the four corners of thy bed.

Upon each thing thine eye takes in,
Upon each thing thy mouth takes in,
Upon thy body that is of earth,
And upon thy soul that came from on high.

Bless O Christ, thy face,
Let thy face bless everything,
Bless O Christ, thine eye,
Let thine eye bless all it sees.

Peace between neighbours,
Peace between kindred,
Peace between person and person.

Over the years I have been asked to perform house blessing services for a variety of reasons, the above blessing was included where appropriate.
