Traditional Irish Blessings

Use any of these traditional irish blessings at your next event or gathering!

May Joy and Peace surround you, Contentment latch your door, And Happiness be with you now, And bless you evermore.
May your troubles be less, And your blessings be more And nothing but happiness come through your door.

May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings,
Slow to make enemies,
Quick to make friends,
But rich or poor, quick or slow,
May you know nothing
But happiness
From this day forward.

May the face of every good news
And the back of every bad news
Be towards us.

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
The sun shine warm upon your face
The rain fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

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 there be a generation
Of children
On the children of your children.

Health and long life to you
The woman of your choice to you
A child every year to you
Land without rent to you
And may you die in Ireland.

May the Lord keep you in His hand
And never close His fist too tight on you.
