Grant them peace, most precious gift of all
Keep the worried world, far away and small
When they return, may quiet fill their s-ouls
Dearest Lord, keep them safe, within its walls
May the stone, be cool beneath their feet
The canyon breezes, circle soft and sweet
When darkness falls, the stars and opal moon
Find them wrapped, in each other, ever warm
~Chorus~
May it be a ref-uge for their love
A harb-or for their deepest prayer
May they c-ome to flourish, in the grove
Grow e-ver nearer, to You there
Many a burdened friend, in their comp’ny rises
A heavy heart, is soon released to fly
May their table be blessed, with laughter and with gr-ace
And by the com, fort of kinship be surprised
~Chorus~
(Ah ah a-h ah ah)
(A-h a-ah)
May the cold winds, blow far from their front door
May the winter rains, never bring them harm
May their hearth fires, burn throughout the n-ight
Grant them sleep, until morning’s, perfect light
