Tune: WOODWARD’S LITANY
Meter: 7777


May God the Father bless us;
May Christ the Son care for us;
The Holy Spirit teach us;
Every moment of our life!



May God be our defender;
May Christ be our sure keeper;
The Spirit our protector;
Of our body and our soul!



May God Almighty bless us;
May Christ the Savior guide us;
And may God’s Spirit fill us;
On this day and ever more.
