Hi all,

I would very much appreciate some assistance in translating a phrase i found in a family Bible. It was given to my great grandmother by her Irish lover (my oh my such scandal!) in 1891. Sadly i speak only English(passable) and drunk Aussinese(fluently) and so im at a bit of a loss as to where to go for help. The phrase is as follows..

Oiche mhaith agus beannacht di mo gra mo chroi

Thats about as close as i can get as there has been some water damage many years ago.

Thankyou in advance
