Come I this day to the Father,
Come I this day to the Son,
Come I to the Holy Spirit powerful:
Come I this day with God,
Come I this day with Christ,
Come I with the Holy Spirit of kindly balm.
God, and Spirit, and Jesus,
From the crown of my head
To the sole of my feet;
Come I with my reputation,
Come I with my testimony,
Come I to thee, Jesu;
Jesu, shelter me.
- Carmina Gaedelica
Don't know the person; but it is a nice prayer.
ReplyDeleteLinda, actually the Carmina Gadelica is a collection of prayers, hymns, and folklore gathered by Alexander Carmichael from 1860 to 1909. Most of what we read of it is actually in Scot's Gaelic.
