AN IRISH BLESSING
Music by Daniel Curzon
Words: Traditional, except for Verse 2 by Curzon

V:
MAY THE ROAD RISE UP 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 HE HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND.

CHORUS:
MAY YOUR BLESSINGS BE MANY,
THE SUN SHINE ABOVE YOU,
YOUR LIFE BRING YOU GLADNESS.
AND ALWAYS GOD LOVE YOU!

V2:
MAY THE DARK THINGS NEVER TAKE YOU.
MAY THE SALT BE NEVER IN YOUR EYE.
MAY ALL CHILLS DIE QUICK UPON YOUR BREATH,
THE FENS YIELD UP YOUR WEEPING BABES.
AND MAY BOTH OUR LIVES BE GRAND,
SINCE WE KNOW WE’LL NOT MEET MORE, NOT MEET MORE.

REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS AGAIN
