By Celtic TraditionSource: Celtic Tradition - Carmina Gadelica, Vol. III (collected by Alexander Carmichael) - Public Domain59 words

God be with thee in every pass, Jesus be with thee on every hill, Spirit be with thee on every stream, headland and ridge and lawn. Each sea and land, each moor and meadow, each lying down, each rising up, in the trough of the waves, on the crest of the billows, each step of the journey thou goest.
