Full Lyrics
ANTIPHON 1
Like olive branches around the table of the Lord
So God's children in the Church
ANTIPHON 2
May the God of Israel join you in one,
In joy and in sorrow the Lord is your King
VERSE 1
Blessed those who fear the Lord, who seek his path
For they shall find favour in His sight
VERSE 2
Blessed be the toil of hand
They shall bear fruit
In joy and in gladness shall you work
VERSE 3
With good fortune in your home
Shall you be blessed
Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
VERSE 4
Blessed shall your children
Be around your board
Like strong olive branches shall they stand
VERSE 5
Blest indeed, shall be the man
Who serves the Lord
For he shall prevail throughout his life
VERSE 6
May the Lord who dwells on high
Give joy to you
And may he protect you all your life
VERSE 7
May the sight of many sons
Delight your heart
May God grant his peace to Israel
