Irish Blessings

[Julie]

May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks Irish Blessing

May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks. May your heart be as light as a song. May each day bring you bright happy hours, That stay with you all year long.

A sunbeam to warm you

A sunbeam to warm you, Good luck to charm you. A Sheltering angel, So nothing can harm you, Laughter to cheer you, Faithful friends near you, And whenever you pray, Heaven to hear you.

God bless the corners of this house Irish Blessing

God bless the corners of this house and all the lintel blessed, And bless the hearth and bless the board and bless each place of rest, And bless each door that opens wide to strangers as to kin, And bless each crystal window pane that lets the starlight in, And bless the rooftree overhead and every sturdy wall. The peace of man. The peace of God. With peace and love for all.

Dance as though no one is watching you Irish Blessing

 

Dance as though no one is watching you, Love as though you have never loved before, Sing as though no one can hear you, Live as though heaven is on earth.

May the blessings of light Irish Blessing

 

May the blessings of light be upon you, Light without and light within, And in all your comings and goings, May you ever have a kindly greeting From them you meet along the road.

An eye to see the world clearly
a heart which feels sincerely
And courage to render faithfully
(this is a Celtic Bardic Triad)

May there always be work

May there always be work for your hands to do, May your purse always hold a coin or two. May the sun always shine warm on your windowpane, May a 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.
