An old Irish blessing

When I was a freshman at College of Charleston I used to go to this little church downtown called St. Mary's. Every Sunday the priest would end the mass by singing this Irish blessing...

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind always be at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I think it's beautiful.
