It's fairly universal among Western Christians It rings with the same cadence as the old Irish blessing: “May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.” I’m very familiar with the blessing from Numbers.
