Try the Carmina Gaedelica:
http://www.smo.uhi.ac.uk/gaidhlig/corpus/Carmina/

It is a collection of Irish devotional prayers/
songs...English translations are available for
all of the pieces...you will probably find some useable phrases there.

a simple one would be an old Irish one...."ar dheis De go raibh a anam" literally translates...may his soul be on the right side of God
