Lyrics
O seinnibh don Tighearna
le òrain is dàin,
O seinnibh don Tighearna
thug buaidh air a’ bhàs.
O seinnibh don Tighearna-
Dha ainm gu robh cliù;
Sruth fuarain na fìrinn,
Nach dìobair air ar cùis.
O èisdeadh gach nàisean
Le àrdachadh suim
An sgeul a chaidh fhàgail,
Thug sàbhaladh dhuinn;
An Dia rinn an saoghal,
Na daoin’ ’s na bheil ann,
Dhuinn bhuannaich E Pàrras
Le bhàs air a’ Chrann
Cumhachd is mòrachd
Is glòir gu robh dhà
Ar Tigheearna bith-bhuan
A thug buaidh air a’ bhàs.
O seinnibh le sòlas,
Le òran as ùr,
Do dh’ùghdar ar dòchais,
Ar beòshlaint ’s ar dùil.
O seinnibh le aoibhneas
An laoidh seo do Tì
Tha riaghladh os àirde
Le gràsan na sìth.
Biodh ainm na ar cànan
Ro àrd ann an luach,
’S nuair ghlaodhas E null sinn
Bidh’n crùn dhuinn na dhuais.
Lyrics Translated
O sing to the Lord
With songs and hymns
O sing to the Lord
Who was victorious over death
O sing to the Lord
To his name we praise;
The stream of truth,
That does not desert our cause
O let every nation listen
With increasing respect/reverence
To the story that was left to us,
Brought, salvation to us
The God who made the world,
For us he won paradise
By his death on the cross
May Power and majesty
And glory be to him [his]
Our eternal Lord
Who conquered death
O sing with joy
And with a new song,
To the creator of our hope
Our livelihood and our expectation
O sing with happiness
This hymn to The One
Who is ruling on high
With the graces of peace
Let his name in our language
Be most high in value
And when He called us over
There will be a crown for us as our reward
Translated by Frances Wilkins with Fr Ross Crichton
