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.
