Old Irish Blessing

This is the wonderful song "Old Irish Blessing" by Denes Agay.

Lyrics:
May the road rise 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 God hold you in the palm of his hand.

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 the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.

May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.

We visited this castle when we were in Ireland. The view back down the hill is amazing when you are standing in the grave yard. What an amazing place. I didn't want to leave.

@pathwandering Hard copy available for ordering on the J.W. Pepper choral music website. (do a search for "Old Irish Blessing" and then find the Agay arrangement). This will include the piano accompaniment and all choral parts. I sang this in high school, and I'm going to buy myself a copy!

I sang this in my high school choir. So lovely! Wish I could find accompaniment for it now. I'd like to sing it as a solo, although it would never be the same as with a whole choir!

I remembered first singing this song with all the other choir members last year to everyone who was graduating. I'm graduating this year and I got to hear everyone sing this to my class. I'll admit it made me cry. :'(
