"Bless thine inheritance" I believe is a line from one of the 15th-16th century English anthems on "Faire is the Heaven." Don't remember which one. I don't have CD handy, but will check on it later.

I've got that CD too, and my former choirmaster was a big Rutter fan, so I've sung almost everything on that album.
That could well be how that phrase got into my head, although I don't recall right offhand an anthem in which it is used . . . of course, we crossed the Tiber in late 2003/early 2004, so it's been awhile now!

"Bless thine inheritance" is from (depending on your translation) Psalm 28:9, and also from the Troparion of the Holy Cross in the Orthodox Church:
O Lord,
save Thy people
and bless Thine inheritance,
grant victory to Orthodox Christians
over their adversaries
and by Thy cross
preserve Thy people.
