Deep peace of the running wave to you
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you
Deep peace, Deep peace
Deep peace of the blowing wind to you
Deep peace of the shining stars to you
Deep peace, Deep peace
Deep peace, Deep peace
Deep peace of the Christ of peace to you.
Amen.
About the Song
The Rev. Mark Wastler ends many St. Margaret’s services with this Gaelic blessing. After hearing it over and over, it was so clear that there was a song there somewhere.
There is so much solace in the thought of dwelling in a place with the kind of deep peace that only God can bring. Al found a beautiful tune and arrangement for the words. Carolyn Surrick is featured on the viola de gamba.
