Subject: Lyr Add: Deep Peace (Celtic Blessing)
My chorus is singing a composer's musical setting (Brian Tate?)
of this traditional invocation.
There is a literary source for this text,
which will be submitted in a later post.

DEEP PEACE

Deep peace of the running wave to you,
Deep peace of the flowing air to you,
Deep peace of the quiet earth and sleeping stones to you.
Deep peace I breathe into you.

Deep peace of the gentle night to you,
Deep peace of the dove of white to you,
Deep peace of the quiet earth and shining stars to you,
Deep peace I breathe into you.
