Gaelic Blessing Help

I finally found this saying that I remember being hung in my bathroom from when I was a kid. I want to stitch it to give to my mother for Christmas, but I've been having trouble finding font to use for it. I don't want really thick font, I just want lined font.

Here's the saying:

A Gaelic Blessing

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you.
Deep peace of Christ,
of Christ the light of the world to you.
Deep peace of Christ to you.

I have plans to make the D at the beginning one big D, and the rest of it, the regular lined font (not sure if I'm clear on that, if I'm not, let me know, I don't know the name for it). I plan to put celtic knots and stuff around it, but I'm really just after an alphabet font pack to pull from. Does anyone know of an existing pack that someone has already made? If there is one, then I'll just use that, but otherwise I'll make it myself if no one can find it, because I don't want to burden someone else with it if I can do it.

Thanks for the help!

thanks, that's a good website. I did a bit of searching, and found this really cool website too. You can put in your phrase that you want, and it'll make a free chart for you:
