The Blessing of Water and Light and Air
Music by Ron KlusmeierWords by Shirley Erena Murray
Tune Name: TE MOANA

Lyrics as Poetry
The blessing of water and light and air,
the blessing of earth and its beauty
and the time to discover
God’s world of joy:
this blessing be given us all.The blessing of friendship and bread to share,
the blessing of music and laughter
and the time to discover
God’s power of love:
this blessing be given us all.The blessing of God who is wholly God,
the blessing of Jesus our Teacher
and the Spirit whose breath
is our life’s own breath:
this blessing be given us all.
