I read this prayer on another blog and even though I am Christian and the chant is in the Buddhist tradition it struck a cord within me.

Traditional Blessing and Healing Chant
"Just as the soft rains fill the streams,
pour into the rivers, and join together in the oceans,
so may the power of every moment of your goodness
flow forth to awaken and heal all beings--
those here now, those gone before, those yet to come.
By the power of every moment of your goodness,
may your heart's wishes be soon fulfilled
as completely shining as the bright full moon,
as magically as by a wish-fulfilling gem.
By the power of every moment of your goodness,
may all dangers be averted and all disease be gone.
May no obstacle come across your way.
May you enjoy fulfillment and long life.
For all in whose heart dwells respect,
who follow the wisdom and compassion, of the Way,
may your life prosper in the four blessings
of old age, beauty, happiness and strength."

Seems to me the spirit of the thought outweighs whatever lable may be applied. Beautiful.
That's beautiful, Chancy. I'm going to copy it, if I may.
Kenju, Of course you may. I copied it from another blog myself and printed it.
I too am a Christian.. but I often find truth in many buddhist words.
This chant is lovely and I think I will borrow it. Thank you for sharing it.
