Like Olive Branches Around the Table of the Lord Lyrics

Ant. I: Like olive branches around the table of the Lord,

So God’s children in the Church.

Ant. II: May the God of Israel join you in one,

In join and in sorrow, the Lord’s is your way.

1. Blessed those who fear the Lord, who seek his path,

For they shall find favour in his sight.

2. Blessed be the toil of hands, they shall bear fruit,

In joy and in galdness shall you work.

3. With good fortune in your home shall you be blessed,

Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine.

4. Blessed shall your children be around your board,

Like strong olive branches shall they stand.

5. Blest indeed, shall be the man who serves the Lord.

For he shall prevail throughout his life.

6. May the Lord who dwells on high give joy to you,

And may he protect you all your life.

7. May the sight of many sons delight your heart,

May God grant his peace to Israel.
