May the Road Rise to Meet You

Four-Part Three-Part

Kirby has designed a very singable setting with a well-written piano accompaniment. The text to this Old Irish Blessing is secular throughout except for the closing which is analogous to someone parting from a beloved friend. He or she might say “Goodbye, and God bless you.” It is suitable to be sung at the closing of a concert or worship service.

The piece is published in with four parts with Part IV serving as an option. The three-part online version demonstrates how would sound without Part IV.
