Irish Blessings

An Old Irish Blessing


May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rain falls soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.




An Irish Prayer


May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer to each prayer.
