Lyrics
Wind of healing that moved on the waters,
Living once our Colm Cille.
On by Islay and on by Jura
And far from sight of his native Eire
[Chorus]
Wind of God, keen wind of creation
Wind that clears the skies before us
Bracing wind, all souls awaking
All beareth on to the heart’s Iona
Wind that bore then as sent from a sad land
Soaked in blood, his wrath was shedding
‘Tis remaking on green Iona
To a place of peace and life-giving labour
[Chorus]
Wind that wafted its breath to a far field,
To his brothers faint with toiling,
Scent of all, blossoms blent together
Was less to breathe then, and bring them cheering.
[Chorus]
Holy breezes, the waters are waiting,
Bring us too, to our remaking
With the prayers of our Colum Cille
Us sent our blossoms to aid and cheer us
[Chorus]
