Heavenly Father,
Come and cover this emerging family with your love.
Quiet their minds with everlasting hope.

Fill this home with happiness and joy.
Protect each of them.
You are Lord of their lives,
You are creator of heaven and earth,
You are a loving Father to us all.

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