1. "St. Patrick's Day" by Maureen Morehead

On St. Patrick’s Day,
Bracelets of Irish grass
Circle our wrists

Like the hand of a lovely mother
Earth’s softness comforts us
Holds sun and serenity

St. Patrick, we hail you.

2. "St. Patrick's Day Prayer" by Amy McCann

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 hollow of His hand.

3. "The Wearing of the Green" by Traditional Irish Poet

O Paddy dear, and did you hear the news
that's going round?
The shamrock is by law forbade to grow on Irish ground!
St. Patrick's Day, no more we'll keep, his color can't be seen
For there's a cruel law against the Wearing of the Green.

4. "Strength of the Irish" by Unknown Author

May the Strength of the winds of Heaven
Bless you,
May the Light of the sun shine on your path,
May the Rush of the river ennoble your work,

and the Glow of the stars a fair light to guide your thoughts.

5. "St. Patrick's Breastplate" by St. Patrick

Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.

Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
