I arise today,
Through the strength of heaven:
Light of sun,
Radiance of moon,
Splendour of fire,
Speed of lightening,
Swiftness of wind,
Depth of sea,
Stability of earth,
Firmness of rock.

Blessing of the Three

The sacred Three,
My fortress be
Encircling Me.
Come and be around,
My hearth,
My Home.
Fend Thou my kin,
and every sleeping thing within
From scathe, from sin.
Thy care our peace,
Through mid of night,
To light's release.

'O King of the sun's brightness,
who alone has knowledge of our purpose, be with us every day,
be with us every night,
be with us every night and day,
be with us every day and night.

Blessing for a friend

Power of the raven be yours,
Power of the Eagle be yours,
Power of the Fianna.
Power of the storm be yours,
Power of the moon be yours,
Power of the sun.
Power of the sea be yours,
Power of the land be yours,
Power of heaven.
Each day be joy to you,
No day be sad to you,
Honour and tenderness.
