Be the eye of God dwelling with you,The foot of Christ in guidance with you,The shower of the Spirit pouring on you,Richly and generously.God's peace be to you,Jesus' peace be to you,Spirit's peace be to youAnd to your children,Oh to you and to your children,Each day and nightOf your portion in the world.
