Be Blessed
a garland of cinquains
Be blessed,
seek God's face.
All you who fear the Lord
are blessed daily to sing His praise.
Shalom
Work done
in God's employ,
is done for those you love,
their well-being will be your joy
likewise.
Fruitful
will be your wife,
the heart of your household.
Your children, vital, full of life,
your hope
Your song
is God's delight.
The strength of your homeland
the guiding light at your work site
His truth
Children
of your children
will live to called you blessed.
You seek The Lord's counsel for your kin,
sweet peace.
Be blessed
in God's employ -

the guiding light at your work site
sweet peace
