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 windowpane.
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 your home always be too small to hold all your friends.

We’re on this Earth together,
And if we would be brothers,
Fight not just on your own behalf
But for the sake of others.

May your right hand always
Be stretched out in friendship
And never in want.

Bless you and yours
As well as the cottage you live in.
May the roof overhead be well thatched
And those inside be well matched.

Get on your knees
and thank the Lord
you’re on your feet.

Grant me a sense of humor, Lord,
The saving grace to see a joke,
To win some happiness from life,
And pass it on to other folk.

‘Tis glad I am and glad I’ll be
That you like knowin’ the likes of me!

Go mbeannai Dia duit
(May God Bless You)
