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 you always walk in sunshine.
May you never want for more.
May Irish angels rest their wings right beside your
door.
May you have warm words on a cold
evening,
a full moon on a dark night,
and the road downhill all the way to your door.
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 peace and plenty be the
first,
To lift the latch to your door.
And happiness be guided to your home,
By the candle of Christmas.
May the embers from the open hearth
warm your hands,
May the sun's rays from the Irish sky warm your
face,
May the children's bright smiles warm your
heart,
May the everlasting love I give you warm your
soul.
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.
