The peace of souls, 
The peace of heaven, 
The peace of virgins. 

The peace of the fairy bowers, 
The peace of peacefulness, 
The peace everlasting.
 

Peace between person and person, 
Peace between wife and husband, 
Peace between woman and children, 
The peace of Christ above all peace. 

Bless, O Christ, my face, 
    Let my face bless everything; 
Bless O Christ mine eye, 
    Let mine eye bless all it sees.

Peace between person and person, 
Peace between wife and husband, 
Peace between woman and children, 
The peace of Christ above all peace. 

Bless, O Christ, my face, 
    Let my face bless everything; 
Bless O Christ mine eye, 
    Let mine eye bless all it sees.
 

Be upon each window, upon each door, 
Upon each hole that lets in light, 
Upon the four corners of my house, 
Upon the four corners of my bed, 
    Upon the four corners of my bed;

Upon each thing my eye takes in, 
Upon my body that is of earth
And upon my soul that came from on high.
    Upon my body that is of earth
And upon my soul that came from on high.
