A Prayer for the Journey

An Irish prayer said softly under the breath when setting out on a journey

Bless to me, 0 God,

The earth beneath my foot,
Bless to me, 0 God,
The path whereon I go;
Bless to me, 0 God,
The thing of my desire;
Thou Evermore of evermore,
Bless Thou to me my rest.
Bless to me the thing
Whereon is set my mind,
Bless to me the thing
Whereon is set my love;
Bless to me the thing
Whereon is set my hope;
0 Thou King of kings
Bless Thou to me mine eye!

This week my wife will be traveling Tuesday to our home in North Carolina.
