A Blessing for Passing through the Depths

As you pass through the deep waters of life,
through the fathomless depths of cold and dark
may God bless and stand by you.

As you pass through the fires and the flames,
through the trials and the heat of living
may the Lord bless and stand by you.

May he call you by name,
by his name – holy and pure.
May he restore to you what has been lost
and return what has been stolen.
May he shine upon you
the glory for which you have been created.

May the Three-in-One bless you,
Father, Spirit, Son.  Amen.
