God, bless to me the new day,
Never vouchsafed to me before;
It is to bless Thine own presence
Thou hast given me this time, O God.
Bless Thou to me mine eye,
May mine eye bless all it sees;
I will bless my neighbor,
May my neighbor bless me.
God, give me a clean heart,
Let me not from sight to Thine eye;
Bless to me my children and my wife,
And bless to me my means and my cattle.
Carmina Gadelica, Hymns and Incantations, Alexander Charmichael
