Seven Irish Blessings

May joy and peace surround you,

contentment latch your door,

and happiness be with you now

and bless you evermore!

...................

May you always have...

Walls for the winds

A roof for the rain

Tea beside the fire

Laughter to cheer you

Those you love near you

And all your heart might desire.

.........................

May the blessing of God's soft rain be on you,

Falling gently on your head,

refreshing your soul

With the sweetness of litte flowers newly blooming.

May the strength of the winds of Heaven bless you,

Carrying the rain to wash your spirit clean

Sparkling after in the sunlight.

May the blessing of God's earth be on you,

And as you walk the roads,

May you always have a kind word

for those you meet.

.................................

May the blessing of light be upon you,

Light on the outside,

Light on the inside.

With God's sunlight shining on you,

May your heart glow with warmth,

Like a turf fire

that welcomes friends and strangers alike.

May the light of the Lord shine from your eyes,

Like a candle in the window,

Welcoming the weary traveller.

.................................

May there always be work for your hands to do

May your purse always hold a coin or two;

May the sun always shine on your windowpane;

May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;

May the hand of a friend always be near you;

May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

...................................

May your neighbors respect you,

Trouble neglect you,

The angels protect you,

And heaven accept you.

................................

May those who love us, love us;

And for those who don't love us,

May God turn their hearts;

And if He doesn't turn their hearts,

May He turn their ankles,

So we will know them by their limping!

.................................

May the road rise to meet you,

may the wind be ever at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

and the rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
