Chorus:
Blessed
be the green of the waves that come beckon us through,
Blessed
be the sweep of the plain that rolls shining and blue,
Blessed
be the white of the foam and its dance on the shore,
Blessed
be the purple horizon that opens the door.
Verse 1:
Blessed
be the King of the Ocean with spear lifted high,
Grateful
we are for the bounty he sends to our need.
Blessed
be the Queen of the Sea with her sparkling green eyes
Hail
to the Lady whose hair flows in all of the weed.
Blessed
be the ice that supports the white bears as they roam,
Hail
to the towers of crystal that float in the cold.
Blessed
be the islands like pearls on the face of the foam,
Hail
to the mists and the myst’ries you hold.
Verse 2:
Blessed
be the blood in our veins, scarlet seawater stream,
Coursing
in time to all rivers that run to the coast.
Blessed
be the whirlpool that haunts all our shadowy dreams,
May
we soon learn to respect all the dark we fear most.
Blessed
be the storm-wave that welcomes the tears from the sky,
Weep
for the damage we’ve caused to her kin and her lands,
Blessed
be the wave-horse that sweeps us away on its ride,
Lift
up your voices and help with your hands.
Verse 3:
Blessed
be the force of the wave and the song of the whale,
May we be saved from the wrath of the sea on
the land,
Blessed
be the rhythm of tides and the Moon’s silver sail,
Hail
to the touch of the silver light bright
on the sands,
Blessed
be the Sun glinting bright on the fair-weather day,
Hail
to the sea that sends rain to the soil of the earth,
Blessed
be the waters that wakened our life as it lay,
Hail
to the power that once gave us birth.
Final Chorus:
Blessed
be the green of the waves that come beckon us through,
Blessed
be the sweep of the plain that rolls shifting and blue,
Blessed
be the white of the foam and its dance on the shore,
Blessed
be the purple horizon that opens the door.
Blessed
be the rose of the fortress of coral that grows,
Blessed
be the black of the depths that no land-dweller knows,
Blessed
be the call of the sea in the hazy grey morn,
Blessed
be the giver of life in all colors that form, and the womb of the world
Where
once we were born (5x, on 5th time quietly)
Where
once we were born (T,A,S)
Where
once we were born (A,S)
Where
once we were born… (S, very quietly)
