Lyrics
Seall thall tighinn bhon ear le sealladh bho Nèamh,
Tha daoine nan cabhaig a’ leantainn na rèilt;
San stàball le leanabh tha Moire cho sèimh
Am prasaich, gun ghearain, gràdh Dhè dhuinn.
O reult, thoir dhomh soillse ’s an oidhch’ a’ fàs dorch’,
Mi creidsinn do gheallaidh, mo Thaic thu’s mo threòir;
Cuir solas air slighe a-rithist led ghlòir,
Ach am faic mi am prasaich do ghràdh dhomh.
Lyrics Translated
Look over at those coming from East with a vision of Heaven
People are in a hurry following the star
In a stable with child, Mary is so calm
In a hay rack, without complaint, is God’s love for us.
O star, shine for us as the night is getting dark
I believe in your promise, You are my support and my guide;
Enlighten the journey again with your glory,
So that I may see in the hay rack your love for me.
Translation by Gillebride MacMillan
