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 joy and peace surround you, contentment latch your door, and happiness be with you now, and bless you evermore!

May the blessing of God's soft rain be on you, falling gently on your head,

refreshing your soul with the sweetness of little 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 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 traveler.

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 window-pane. 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 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.
