THE IRISH PRAYER
by Joel Sattler

[based on the old Irish and Gaelic blessings]

May you always walk in sunshine
May your hearth be as a shrine
May you never want for more.
may the angels watch your door
may you always understand
may God hold you in His hands

May the wind be at your back
and ne'er for love you lack
may the sun e'er warm your face
may you never lack for grace
may you live in promised land
may God hold you in His hands

may the rains fall soft upon your field
may your harvest be fruitful in its yield
may your dreams turn out as you had planned
may God hold you in His hands

may your troubles always cease
may you live your life in peace
may you have a million friends
and be thankful at the end
and until we meet again
may God hold you in His hands
