Lyrics

A Mhoire mhìn-gheal, A mhèinn nan gràsan, Do dh’aona Mhac Dhè Bu tu fhèin a mhàthair: Stiùir mo cheumsa Tro rè mo làithean Air sligh’an dòchais Gu sòlas Phàrrais Dìon gach là mi Bho chràdh is leònadh, Lìon gu làn mi Le gràs do thròcair; Ciùinich m’àrdan Gu sàmhchair òigheach, Air sgàth a’ phàisdean A dh’fhàs bho d’fheòil-sa.

Lyrics Translated

Fair gentle Mary, rich source of grace, You were the mother Of God’s only-begotten Son: Guide my footsteps Throughout my days On the journey of hope To the joy of Paradise. Protect me each day From pain and hurt, Fill me full of the grace Of your mercy; Subdue my pride To virginal peace, For the sake of the Child Who grew from your flesh. Translation by John Campbell
