2. "Happy Birthday to You" Prayer
Another year of life upon this earth:
I hope that you have used it full and well.
And yet another starting now, today:
Perhaps you should rededicate your life,
And give it to the Lord, who gave you
yours.
For all that went before has passed
behind;
Your future lies before you like a road.
And so I pray the Lord will be with you,
And dwell with you, and keep you as His
own,
And walk with you, beside you, down the
road.
And now I pray that He will make today
The finest birthday that you ever had.

eternal life.

4. Birthday Prayer for a Brother or
Sister
I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart,
Although He spoke no word.
I didn't ask for wealth or fame,
I knew you wouldn't mind.
I asked Him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind.
I asked that He be near you
At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way.
I asked for happiness for you
In all things, great and small,
But it was for His loving care
I prayed for most of all.

5. Birthday Prayer for
Friends and Family
Have mercy, O Lord, on all those
tied with us in the bonds of
friendship and family, and grant
that they, with us, may be so
perfectly conformed to Your holy
will, that being cleansed from all
sin, we may be found worthy, by
the inspiration of Your love, to be
partakers together of the
blessedness of Your heavenly
kingdom; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.

6. An Irish Prayer
May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

May all the blessing of our Lord touch
your life today
May God hold you in the hollow of his

9. May The Road Rise Up To Meet You
May the road rise 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 God be with you and bless you:
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.
May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.
