"Bless Thou, O God, the dwelling,

"Bless Thou, O God, the dwelling,
And each who rests herein this night;
Bless Thou, O God, my dear ones
In every place wherein they sleep;
In the night that is to-night,
And every single night ;
In the day that is to-day,
And every single day."

(traditional Hebridean prayer from the Carmina Gadelica)
