Må din väg

Må din väg komma dig till mötes,
vinden alltid vara bak din rygg,
må solen leka på din kind,
regnet falla vänligt mot din jord.
Och må Guds goda hand värna
om dig tills vi möts igen.

Lyrics: Per Harling, Hans Olof Mörk, Anders Nyberg

Music: Anders Nyberg, Ragnhild E. Berg

This new melody to the well known Irish Blessing was created spontaneously on the eve of "The Path 2012". I was rehearsing with a choir in Vår Frue Kirke in Trondheim. The room served as well as a shelter for homeless as we were singing. We were literally blessed by the people of the streets before we started our walk. And in this very special time and space this melody, with the help of one of the choristers, Ragnhild Berg, landed in the room like a dove of peace.

Send the blessing further. To bless other people's paths is to bless your own.

Sing with movement of heart, mind and body. Improvise a dance. Spread it around.

You can order this song with English lyrics; May the road rise to meet you, arranged SATB.
