Brigid's Lullaby

2 weeks ago by @karan

Liner Notes

As every year, here comes a devotional song for Imbolctide. (I love Brigid, who is venerated as both a Goddess and a saint, bridging the gap between to faiths.)
Being pretty sleepless these days (eh, nights), I thought of a little bedtime ritual. If you feel so inclined, you are welcome to join:

1.) Sing the first verse for yourself, praying for a restful night, letting go (to the best of your ability) of all that troubles you.

2.) Sing the second verse for another person, either someone you love or someone you have trouble with. Entrust them into Brigid’s care.

3.) Sing the third verse for either your personal community or for the community of humankind. Pray that everyone will be sheltered in the peace of the night and protected during the day to come.

4.) Go to bed and sleep well!

Lyrics

May my sleep be deep and gentle
under the folds of Brigid’s mantle,
may her light be my guide
through the night.

When the morning has broken,
I will be lovingly awoken.
She will show me the way
through the day.

May your sleep be deep and gentle
under the folds of Brigid’s mantle,
may her light be your guide
through the night.

When the morning has broken,
you will be lovingly awoken.
She will show you the way
through the day.

May our sleep be deep and gentle
under the folds of Brigid’s mantle,
may her light be our guide
through the night.

When the morning has broken,
we will be lovingly awoken.
She will show us the way
through the day.
