Blended Blessings

Verse 1

May the road rise
To meet you
May the wind be
Always at your back
May the sun
Shine
Warm upon your face

1st Chorus

Arohanui
Take from this place
Arohanui
Blessing and grace

 

Verse 2

May the rain fall
Gently on your fields
And until we meet
Again
May God hold you
In the palm
Of his hand

2nd chorus

Arohanui
Spread throughout the land
Arohanui
And in the place we stand

 

Verse 3

Ngā manaakitanga
E taku hoa
Blessings my friend
Blessings my friend
[repeat]

3rd chorus

Arohanui
Until our journey ends
Arohanui
Until we meet again
Arohanui
Until our journey ends
Arohanui
Until we meet again
