Lyrics
Siud an gràdh air an seinn mi,
Air an seinn mì gu brath,
Ar an seinn mi ga innse
Gus an crìochnaich mo là.
Siud an gràdh air an seinn mi,
Air an seinn mi gu bràth —
’S ann air gràdh an Fhir-Shaoiraidh,
A bha daonnan dhomh blàth.
Ged a chaidh mi air faondradh,
Mar a’ chaora bho chàch,
Mach air fàsach an t-saoghail,
Bha do ghaol dhomh cho blàth.
Ged a thrèig mi Thu daonnan,
Cha do thraoigh dhomh do ghràdh,
Cha do dh’fhuaraich do ghaol dhomh
’S cha do lughdaich do làmh.
Lyrics Translated
That is the love of which I will sing
Of which I will sing forever
Of which I will sing to tell of it
Until the end of my days.
That is the love of which I will sing
Of which I will sing forever –
Of the love of the Saviour
Who was always warm for me.
Though I went awry
Like the sheep from the rest
Out on the desert of the world
Your love for me was so warm
Though I always forsook you
Your love for me never ended
Your love for me never grew cold
And your hand never wavered.
