Lyrics

Spioraid Naoimh Dhè, dèan còmhnaidh nam chom, Fosgail mo chrìdh’ is fuasgail am braighd’, Lìon mi le gaol air Ìosa mo shoills’ - O lìon mi le uisgeachan slàinteach. [chorus] Ìosa tha beò, an seo tha thu tàmh, Ìosa mo Thighearn’, bi dlùth dhomh gach là, A Shlànaigheir a bhàsaich air Crann air mo sgàth, Dh’ais-èirich ‘san tesraig a phobaill. Thighearn’, tha mi pàiteach, laigseach gun lùth’, Thighearna, bi làimh rium, ’s tusa mo rùn; Thighearna, ’s tu bheatha, an gràdh is an dùil - O lìon mi le uisgeachan slàinteach. [chorus] Thighearna, cha lèir dhomh, Thighearn’, tha mi dall: Dèan cobhair, a Thighearna, sìn dhomh do làmh; Stiùir mi san ghìrinn is solas do là - O lìon mi le uisgeachan slàinteach. [chorus]

Lyrics Translated

Spirit of God, come dwell within me. Open my heart, O come set me free. Fill me with love for Jesus, my Lord. O fill me with living water. [chorus] Jesus is living, Jesus is here. Jesus, my Lord, come closer to me. Jesus, our Saviour, dying for me, and rising to save his people Lord, how I thirst, O Lord, I am weak. Lord, come to me, you alone do I seek. Lord, you are life, and love and hope, O fill me with living water. [chorus] Lord, I am blind. O Lord, I can’t see! Stretch our your hand, O Lord, comfort me. Lead me your way in truth and in light, O fill me with living water. Jesus is living … [chorus]
