Ever present God,

this day enfolds us and surrounds us:

be in our speaking and in our thinking;

be in our life and on our lips;

be in our hearts and in our souls;

today and for ever.

May the Lord bless us

and guard us;

May the Lord make his face to shine on us

and be gracious to us;

may the Lord look kindly on us

and give us peace.

Amen
