An Irish Prayer
|
|
May God give you..
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing 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.

Remembered Joy
|
|
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm
free!
I follow the plan God laid for me.
I saw His face, I heard His call,
I took His hand and left it all...
I could not stay another day,
To love, to laugh, to work or
play;
Tasks left undone must stay that
way.
And if my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a
kiss...
Ah yes, these things I, too, shall
miss.
My life's been full, I've savoured
much:
Good times, good friends, a
loved-one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too
brief—
Don't shorten yours with undue
grief.
Be not burdened with tears of
sorrow,
Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow.

Bless
This House
|
|
Bless this house, o Lord, we pray.
Make it safe by night and day.
Bless these walls so firm and
stout,
Keeping want and trouble out.
Bless the roof and chimney tall,
Let thy peace lie over all.
Bless the doors that they may prove
Ever open to joy and love.
Bless the windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heavenly light.
Bless the hearth a-blazing there,
With smoke ascending like a prayer.
Bless the people here within...
Keep them pure and free from sin.
Bless us all, that one day, we
May be fit, O lord, to dwell with
Thee.
