Hail Brigid, thrice great, thrice powerful, thrice blessed!

Brigid by Fercy 

I arise today in praise of You,

O Brigid.

For the blessing of water I praise You,

O Brigid.

For the blessing of fire I praise You,

O Brigid.

For words on my tongue I praise You,

O Brigid.

For skill in my hands I praise You,

O Brigid.

For cradle and hearth I praise You,

O Brigid.

For the protection of the fian I praise You,

O Brigid.

For justice for the weak I praise You,

O Brigid.

For healing for the sick, I praise You,

O Brigid.

For keening for the dead I praise You,

O Brigid.

For Your mantle around the Earth I praise You,

O Brigid.

Bíodh sé amhlaidh!
