00:00There will be three times when I sprinkle the boat, some of these.
00:07Once will be with holy water, the second one, each time will be the steer.
00:13Only on the outside, of course. We don't want you being sticky inside the boat, do we?
00:19So, when I say we don't holy water and sprinkle the beer each time,
00:23if you could say, bless this boat each time, that would be amazing.
00:30So, Almighty God who guided Noah in the building of the ark and calmed the raging sea,
00:38we call upon you to bless those who have prepared this boat for service
00:43and to protect and preserve those who are aboard and power her.
00:48Surround them with your loving care.
00:51So, I call upon us to pray for God's blessing on this boat.
01:00May God the Father bless you.
01:07Bless her.
01:11May Jesus Christ bless her.
01:18Bless her.
01:19Bless her.
01:20Bless her.
01:21Bless her.
01:22Bless her.
01:23And may the Holy Spirit bless her.
01:25Bless her.
01:26Bless her.
01:27Bless her.
01:28Bless her.
01:29Bless her.
01:30And so, if you know it, we'll say together the Lord's Prayer over this boat.
01:31Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
01:48Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
01:54Give us this day our daily bread.
01:57And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
02:03And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
02:08Amen.
02:09And so, may the road rise up to meet you.
02:12May the wind be always at your back.
02:15May the sun shine warm upon your face.
02:19May the rains fall softly on your fields until we meet again.
02:24May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
02:28So, go forth into the world in peace.
02:31Be of good courage.
02:32Hold fast, which is good.
02:35Render to no man, evil, or evil, or evil.
02:39Strengthen the faint-hearted.
02:41Support the weak.
02:42Help the afflicted and honour all.
02:44Love and serve the Lord.
02:46So, we bless this day all those who will erode summer leaves into the future and beyond.
02:53May God bless you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
02:59Amen.
03:00Amen.
03:01Name all Rome, and may you have many winning days in this world.
03:06Amen.
