LABOUR 239
BLESSING OF THE SMOORING
I AM sniooriiig the fire
As the Son of Mary would snioor ;
Blest be the house, blest be the fire,
Blest be the people all.
Who are those down on the Hoor ?
John and Peter and Paul.
On whom is the vigil to-night?
On the fixir gentle Mary and on her Son.
The mouth of God said,
The angel of God spake.
An angel in the door of the house,
To guard and to keep us all
Till conies daylight to-morrow.
Oh ! may the angels of the Holy One of God
Environ me all this night.
Oh ! may the angels of the Anointed One of God
Encompass me from harm and from evil.
Oh ! encompass me from harm this night.
