` May the Irish hills caress you~
May her lakes and rivers bless you~May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you~May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you, The angels protect you~And Heaven accept you.
May the road rise to meet you~May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face~And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again~May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
<<<*>>>
Walls for the wind~And a roof for the rain~And drinks beside the fire
Laughter to cheer you~And those you love near you~
And all that your heart may desire!
<<<*>>>
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 friends that proved untrue.
But never forget to remember~Those that have stuck by you.
Always remember to forget~The troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember~The blessings that come each day.
<<<*>>>
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 you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
<<<*>>>
May you live as long as you want~And never want as long as you live.
May you live to be a hundred years~With one extra year to repent!
May there be a generation of children~On the children of your children.
May God grant you many years to live~For sure He must be knowing
The earth has angels all too few~And heaven is overflowing.
