Blessings about Ireland

Hills as green as emeralds
Cover the countryside
Lakes as blue as sapphires-
And Ireland’s special pride
And rivers that shine like silver
Make Ireland look so fair-
But the friendliness of her people
Is the richest treasure there.

May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you

May the enemies of Ireland never meet a friend.

May luck be our companion
May friends stand by our side
May history remind us all
Of Ireland’s faith and pride.
