Lyrics

A Rìgh nan ainglean ’s a Rìgh nan daoine! ’S a Rìgh mo ghaoil! Tha d’fhàrdach fuar. Chan àros rìoghail a bh’fheàrr leat, Iosa, Ach fuachd is ìsleachd am fasgadh uaimh.

Lyrics Translated

King of angels and the King of the people! My beloved King! Your dwelling is cold. You would not prefer a regal home, O Jesus, But cold and lowlines in the shelter of a cave. Translated by Gillebride MacMillan
