May the road rise up to meet you

May the road rise up to meet you

Published in 5 hymnals

Representative Text

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 rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
And until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
Until we meet again,
until we meet again,
may God hold you,
may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
