Go gently on your voyage - Kate McIlhagga (1938-2002)
Bracketed text omitted
Go gently on your voyage, beloved.
Slip away with the ebb tide,
rejoice in a new sunrise.
May the moon make a path across the sea [for you],
the Son provide a welcome.
May the earth receive you and the fire cleanse you
as you go from our love
into the presence of Love's completeness.
Go gently on your voyage, beloved.
Slip away with the ebb tide,
rejoice in a new sunrise.
May the moon make a path across the sea [for you],
the Son provide a welcome.
May the earth receive you and the fire cleanse you
as you go from our love
into the presence of Love's completeness.
