BLESSING SONG
by Ruth Barrett
Mother, Mother of the Earth
Your belly swells to give life birth
Touch our hearts with love and mirth
On our world may blessings be.
We call you by branch, by seed, and flower
To dance within Thy sacred power
Thy gifts of life upon us shower
On our lives may blessings be.
Earth and Water, Fire and Air
Bind us to this world we share
And circle round us everywhere
On our Earth may blessings be.
Maiden, Maiden of life's desire
Warm our lives with sacred fire
And raise our spirits ever higher
On our love may blessings be.
Mother, Mother of earthly bliss
Who has formed us in your own likeness
That we might know Thy holy kiss
On our bodies may blessings be.
Old One, Old One of the night
Bless our will and bless our rite.
For all is sacred in Thy site
On our magick may blessings be.
On our magick may blessings be.
On our love may blessings be.
On our lives may blessings be
On our world may blessings be.
