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]
