Èisd rinn, Íosa, na do ghrádh |
Listen to us, Jesus, in your love |
Tha do ghrádh gun chrích |
Your love is limitless |
Guidh ri d' athair air ar sgáth |
Pray to your father for our sake |
Tha do ghrádh gun chrích |
Your love is limitless |
Os cionn fuaim cogaidh 's bláir |
Above the noise of war and battle |
Thar gach truaigh is beud is cráidh |
Over every woe and harm and hurt |
Seachad air cruadal is cás |
Beyond hardship and distress |
Tha do ghrádh gun chrích |
Your love is limitless |
|
|
Neartaich sinn, do shluaigh fhéin |
Strengthen us, your own people |
Tha do thrócair buan |
Your mercy is eternal |
Beó am muinntearas a chéil' |
Alive in each other's service |
Tha do thrócair buan |
Your mercy is eternal |
Tha gach anam seo na fheum |
Each of these souls is in need |
Air do mhathas is air do mhéinn |
Of your kindness and compassion |
Ionnsaich dhuinn dé th' ann bhith réidh |
Teach us what it is to be reconciled |
Tha do thrócair buan |
Your mercy is eternal |
|

O Íosa, bi na shráinnsear dhomh |
Oh Jesus, be a stranger to me |
Air rathad Iéricho |
On the Jericho road |
O Íosa, bi na shráinnsear dhomh |
Oh Jesus, be a stranger to me |
Air rathad Iéricho |
On the Jericho road |
|
|
Thighearna ghlórmhoir ghrásmhoir chaoin |
Glorious, gracious, tender Lord |
Na cuir rinne cúl |
Don't turn your back on us |
Ged a bhiodh ar nádar claon |
Though our nature were perverse |
Na cuir rinne cúl |
Don't turn your back on us |
Líon suas gach soitheach traoight' |
Fill up each drained vessel |
Soillsich dubhar gach cridhe claoidht' |
Lighten the blackness of each weary heart |
Siab bhuainn smalan an t-saoghail |
Sweep from us the gloom of the world |
Na cuir rinne cúl |
Don't turn your back on us |
|
|
O Íosa, bi na shráinnsear dhomh |
Oh Jesus, be a stranger to me |
Air rathad Iéricho... |
On the Jericho road... |
