An Irish Blessing May there always be work for your hands to do. May your purse always hold a coin or two. May the sun shine on your window pane. 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. #278

Irish National Anthem We'll sing a song, a soldiers song With cheering, rousing chorus; As round our blazing fires we throng The starry heavens o'er us; Impatient for the coming fight, And as we wait the morning's light Here in the silence of the night, We'll chant a soldier's song. (Refrain) Soldiers are we, whose lives are pledged to Ireland, Some have come from a land beyond the wave. Sworn to be free, no more our ancient sire land Shall shelter the despot, or the slave; Tonight we man the bearna baoghal In Erin's cause come woe or weal; Mid cannon's roar and rifle's peal We'll chant a soldier's song. by Peadar Kearney #320
