Irish Blessings

Top o' the mornin' to ya

1. May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.

2. May you have an hour in heaven before the devil knows you're dead.

3. 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 folks.

4. May joy and peace surround you, Contentment latch your door,
And happiness be with you now And bless you evermore.

5. May brooks and trees and singing hills Join in the chorus too,
And every gentle wind that blows Send happiness to you.

6. May your home be filled with laughter
May your pockets be filled with gold
And may you have all the happiness Your Irish heart can hold.

7. May your troubles be less And your blessing be more
And nothing but happiness Come through your door

8. From the great Gales of Ireland Are the men that God made mad,
for all their wars are merry And all their songs are sad.
