"I see the moon and the moon sees me.

The moon sees somebody I want to see.

So God bless the moon and God bless me.

And God bless the somebody I want to see."

is the way I have always sung that song. 

I just learned there is another version too: 

"I see the moon, the moon sees me.

God bless the moon and God bless me. 

There's grace in the cottage and grace in the hall;

And the grace of God is over us all."

printed by Joyce in "Old Irish Folk Music and Songs" 1909
