Bridal Blessing Song

Julia Phillips

This is one of a collection which I have been told dates from the 18th century. As with the previous one, no guarantees <g>!

Bless the furrow, bless the plough
and bless the seed that springs.
Bless the fruit and bless the corn
the blossoms on the bough.
Bless the man and bless the maid
and bless the bed they share.
Bless the babe that's got this night
and in the Lady's care.
