| May brooks and trees and singing hills Join in the chorus too, And every gentle wind that blows Send happiness to you. |
| Wishing you a rainbow For sunlight after showers .. Miles and miles of Irish smiles For golden happy hours ... Shamrocks at your doorway For luck and laughter too, And a host of friends that never ends Each day your whole life through! |
| Deep peace of the running waves to you Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the smiling stars to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the watching shepherds to you. Deep peace of the Son of Peace to you. ~old gaelic prayer~ |
 |
| May the lilt of Irish laughter, Lighten every load, May the mist of Irish magic Shorten every road, May you taste the sweetest pleasures That fortune ere bestowed, And may all your friends remember All the favours you are owed. |
| May neighbours respect you, Trouble neglect you, The angels protect you, And heaven accept you. |
| Lucky stars above you, Sunshine on your way, Many friends to love you, Joy in work and play - Laughter to outweigh each care, In your heart a song - And gladness waiting everywhere All your whole life long. |

| Wishing you always ... Walls for the wind, A roof for the rain And tea beside the fire. Laughter to cheer you Those you love near you And all that your heart may desire |
| Wherever you go and whatever you do May the luck of the Irish be there with you |
| Whenever there is happiness, Hope you'll be there too, Wherever there are friendly smiles, Hope they'll smile on you, Whenever there is sunshine, Hope it shines especially For you to make each day for you, As bright as it can be. |
| 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 windowpance 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 God give you ... For every storm a rainbow, For every tear, a smile, For every care, a promise, And ablessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, A faithful friend to share, For every sigh, a sweet song, And an answer for each prayer. |
| May good luck be your friend in whatever you do And may trouble be always a stranger to you. |
| May the good saints protect you And bless you today And may troubles ignore you Each step of the way |

| You've blessed me with friends and laughter and fun With rain that's so soft as the light from the sun - You've blessed me with the stars to brighten each night You've given me help to know wrong from right You've given me so much please, Lord give me too A heart that is always grateful to you. |
| Grant me a sense of humour, Lord, the saving grace to see a joke, To win some happiness from life, And pass it on to other folks. |
| May you see God's light on the path ahead When the road you walk is dark. May you always hear, Even in your hour of sorrow, The gentle singing of the lark. When times are hard may hardness Never turn your heart to stone, May you always remember when the shadows fall -- You do not walk alone. |
| May your day be touched by a bit of Irish luck Brightened by a song in your heart And warmed by the smiles of the people you love. |
