Again therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world: he that
followeth me, walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12)

Do Chríost



A Íosa, a Íosa, coimeád na caoire
ar na gleannta míne agus ar na móinéir chaoine.
Ní tinneas chun báis ach tinneas chun sláinte
a bheith tinn le grá dhuit, a Rí na páirte. (1)
Jesus, Jesus, guard Thy sheep
in gentle valleys, meadows mild.
Not sick to death but sick to life
sick with Thy love, O cherished King.



Molaimid Íosa Críost,
molaimid é 'na shaoire.
Agus de ghnáth, a Thiarna trócaire,
is go rabhaimid ag moladh do ghlóire
insa tsíoraíocht dhéanach. (2)
We praise Jesus Christ,
we praise him in his feastday.
And always, O Lord of mercy,
may we be praising your glory
for all eternity.



Ag Críost an síol,
ag Críost an fómhar,
in iothlann Dé go dtugtar sinn

Ag Críost an mhuir,
ag Críost an t-iasc,
i líontaibh Dé go gcastar sinn.

Ó fhás go haois
is ó aois go bás
do dhá láimh, a Chríost, anall tharainn.

Ó bhás go críoch
nach críoch ach athfás,
i bParthas na ngrás go rabhaimid. (3)
To Christ the seed,
to Christ the crop,
in the barn of Christ may we be brought,

To Christ the sea,
to Christ the fish,
in the nets of Christ may we be caught.

From growth to age,
from age to death
Thy two arms here, O Christ, about us.

From death to end
not end but growth,
in the blessed Paradise may we be.
