Lyrics
Tha sinn a’ seasamh aig an t-soisgeul
Gu bhith deas gu chur an gnìomh;
Cha toir nàir’ no eagal oirnne
Cùl a chur ri creideamh Chrìosd.
’S daor a cheannaich Mac na h-Oighe
An creideamh glòrmhor ’s ro mhòr fhiach;
Cha choimeas idir luach an òir
Ris an fhuil a dhòirt o chliabh.
Lyrics Translated
We stand at the Gospel
To be ready to enact it;
Shame nor fear will make us
Turn our back on the belief in Christ
Dearly did the Son of the Virgin pay
For the glorious religion and great is the debt
There is no comparison with the worth of gold
To the blood that spilled from his chest.
Translated by Gillebride MacMillan
