about

What a delight to have the wonderful Slim Dusty record this song and then have it played as they carried his casket out of Sydney Cathedral. When you write a song you never know where it will travel.

lyrics

Traveller’s Blessing
traditional words adapted
with new words & music Rod Boucher 1984 Sydney & 2020 Adelaide

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
and the rain fall soft upon your track.

And until, until we meet agai--n,
may you stay safe in God’s loving hand.

May the hills come down to greet you.
May the rocks give shelter in the storm.
May the dust be soft beneath your feet
and the dark give rest before the dawn.

And until, until we meet agai--n,
may you stay safe in God’s loving hand.

In God’s loving hand,
in God’s loving hand,
in God’s loving hand,
safe in God’s loving hand.

INSTRUMENTAL guitar

May your life have many memories.
May your death be sweet and full of peace.
May your hope last an eternity.
May your joy carry on and never cease.

And until, until we meet agai--n,
may you stay safe in God’s loving hand.

In God’s loving hand,
in God’s loving hand,
in God’s loving hand,
safe in God’s loving hand.
