about

Originally Recorded by Heather Frahn as part of the Arts in Health at FMC program "Music For Relaxation" program. Remixed and Mastered in 2019 by Heather Frahn for public release. Genre: Relaxation / Healing / Spiritual.

The 'Deep Peace' verse is said to have derived from an ancient Gaelic rune, making beautiful and inspirational references to various elements of nature: water, air, earth, stars, night. The most famous version of this song titled "A Gaelic Blessing" was composed by John Milford Rutter in 1978 for the choir of the First United Methodist Church in Omaha, Nebraska (USA). Now decades later, there are several versions of this ancient blessing that make references to Christian, Gaelic, Pagan, and Secular faith traditions and spirituality.

lyrics

The lyrics in Heather Frahn's "Deep Peace" version are:

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.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you.
Deep Peace of the Spirit
Light of Her world to you
Deep Peace of the Mother of All
Light of Her world to you
Deep Peace to you
Deep Peace to you
Deep Peace to you
Deep Peace to you

------------------

It is believed that composer John Rutter was inspired by the following verse from "The Dominion of Dreams. Under the Dark Star" by dual identity writer Fiona Macleod/William Sharp, 1895:

Deep peace I breathe into you,
O weariness, here:
O ache, here!
Deep peace, a soft white dove to You;
Deep peace, a quiet rain to you;
Deep peace, an ebbing wave to you!
Deep peace, red wind of the east from you;
Deep peace, grey wind of the west to You;
Deep peace, dark wind of the north from you;
Deep peace, blue wind of the south to you!
Deep peace, pure red of the flame to you;
Deep peace, pure white of the moon to you;
Deep peace, pure green of the grass to you;
Deep peace, pure brown of the earth to you;
Deep peace, pure grey of the dew to you,
Deep peace, pure blue of the sky to you!
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 sleeping stones to you!
Deep peace of the Yellow Shepherd to you,
Deep peace of the Wandering Shepherdess to you,
Deep peace of the Flock of Stars to you,
Deep peace from the Son of Peace to you,
Deep peace from the heart of Mary to you,
And from Briget of the Mantle
Deep peace, deep peace!
And with the kindness too of the Haughty Father
Peace!
In the name of the Three who are One,
Peace! And by the will of the King of the Elements,
Peace! Peace!
