Traveller's Prayer

Praise to the moon, bright queen of the skies
 Jewel of the black night, the light of our eyes
 Brighter than starlight, whiter than snow
 Look down on us in the darkness below
 If well you should find us then well let us stay
 Be it seven times better when you make your way
 Be it seven times better when we greet the dawn
 So light up our way and keep us from all harm
 Give strength to the weary, give alms to the poor
 To the tainted and needy five senses restore
 Give song to our voices, give sight to our eyes
 To see the sun bow as the new moon shall rise
 Cast your eyes downwards to our dwelling place
 Three times for favour and three times for grace
 Over the dark clouds, your face for to see
 To banish misfortune and keep Trinity
 In the name of our Lady, bright maiden of grace
 In the name of the King of the City of Peace
 In the name of our Saviour, who hung on the tree
 All praise to the moon, for eternity
