The Irish Blessing
May the road rise upt 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 the God that loves us all
Hold you in the palm of His hand.
May the road rise upt 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 the God that loves us all
Hold you in the palm of His hand.
