TRADITIONAL IRISH BLESSING


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

May God be with you and bless you;
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings,
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.

May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.

I've always loved it. But I might be partial to it because I'm part Irish marrying a very Irish boy.

i LOVE it!! theres actually a REALLY long version of it... we used that, but modified it a little bit. i can find it if you're looking for other ideas

Sure I would love to see that version whenever you get a chance you can FM it to me. Thanks!!!

this was ours (we just took out certain lines here and there... more so that it would FIT on the back of our program )



May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand
May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live
Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad
Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day
May the saddest day of your future be no worse
Than the happiest day of your past
May the roof above us never fall in.
And may the friends gathered below it never fall out
May you have warm words on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill all the way to your door
May you live to be a hundred years,
With one extra year to repent
May the Lord keep you in His hand
And never close His fist too tight
May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
May good luck pursue you each morning and night
May God be with you and bless you,
May you see your children's children,
May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward

We are using it.

I'm Irish (100%) but Fh is Eastern European Jewish and his sisters are reading it
