Seafares Prayer

Oh may the winds be fair and the great sea be calm
May we follow our course surely from dark until dawn
The bright stars above us and the great sea below
And the grey seals around us wherever we go.

Oh we'll call on the silkie, undine, mermaids
To send us good wishes as we travel the waves
We'll call on the magical folk of the sea
To grant us their blessings upon our journey.

Oh may the winds be fair and the great sea be calm
May we follow our course surely from dark until dawn
The bright stars above us and the great sea below
And the grey seals around us wherever we go.

We'll call on the winds to be ally and friend
And to carry us through until journey's end
We'll call on the winds for their help and their aid
To carry us out and over the waves

Oh may the winds be fair and the great sea be calm
May we follow our course surely from dark until dawn
The bright stars above us and the great sea below
And the grey seals around us wherever we go.

We'll call on Holy Mary and Bridie the mild
To keep watch over us and guard us all the while
We'll call on sweet Mary and gentle Bridie
To guide us on our way as we travel the sea.

Oh may the winds be fair and the great sea be calm
May we follow our course surely from dark until dawn
The bright stars above us and the great sea below
And the grey seals around us wherever we go.

We'll call on the dolphins to swim by our side
And to bring us good fortune with the turn of the tide
We'll call on the sea hawk who eyes see so far.
To guide us on our way

Oh may the winds be fair and the great sea be calm
May we follow our course surely from dark until dawn
The bright stars above us and the great sea below
And the grey seals around us wherever we go.
