Deep peace of the running wave to you,
Deep peace of the flowing air to you,
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you,
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Story Behind the Song
Michael John Trotta's "Gaelic Blessing" is a contemporary choral anthem setting a traditional Celtic blessing text, commonly associated with the words beginning "Deep peace..." It is not a standard congregational hymn with a named hymn tune, but a through-composed choral work used as a benediction or reflective sacred piece.
