A Celtic Blessing for Sam and Lucy

(Set to the tune of ‘To make you feel my love’ by Bob Dylan)

May God Bless you with the things of Grace
Celtic sunshine always on your face
May the Spirit be your homing place
Where you belong to Love

May your people always hold you near
Greet your joys with their vital cheers
May they offer you their listening ears
May you be held in love

You’ve been my pebble since the day we met
On this beach so wide and long
I came home and found my room was let
And there we turned that place into our song

I will always be your Loopy Lou
Leap off cliffs so I can swim with you
Where crystal waters are singing true
Of how we need our love

A glowing campfire by the salty sea
Warms a future we don’t know yet
Lights a cove for all our memories
So we can never let ourselves forget

We pray the Greening of the Trees for you
May there be peace and joy in all you do
May the One God enfold you two
Our tender God of Love, Our tender God of Love.
