Gaelic Benediction
(recited by all)
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
May the rain fall soft upon your field.
Till we meet again, my friend, till we meet again.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand
