IMMIGRATION MINISTRY

---

Celtic Rune of Hospitality

I saw a stranger yestreen
I put food in the eating place
drink in the drinking place
music in the listening place

And in the sacred name of the Triune
He blessed myself and my house
my cattle and my dear ones

And the lark said in her song
often often often
Goes the Christ in stranger's guise
often often often
Goes the Christ in stranger's guise
