INVOCATION OF THE GRACES 229
GRACE
Grace of love be thine,
Grace of floor be thine,
Grace of castle be thine,
Grace of court be thine,
Grace and pride of homeland be thine.
The guard of the God of life be thine.
The guard of the loving Christ be thine,
The guard of the Holy Spirit be thine,
To cherish thee.
To aid thee.
To enfold thee.
The Three be about thy head,
The Three be about thy breast,
The Three be about thy body
Each night and each day.
In the encompassment of the Three
Throughout thy life long.
