THA SINN, A DHIA, A' SEINN DO CHLIU

 

This hymn is loosely based on the English hymn, HOLY GOD WE PRAISE THY NAME, and with the same melody. The last two lines in the Gaelic hymn are repeated.

 

 

This is a loose translation of the
hymn. It's purpose is simply to give
the English sense of the words.

Tha sinn, a Dhia, a'seinn do chlìu,
Ag aideachadh gur Tu ar Triath;
Toirt urraim dhut tha'n domhan mòr,
Athair gun tùs, gun chrìoch.

We, O God, are singing your praise,
Confessing that you are our God;
The world is offering worship to you,
Father without beginning, without end

Is Tus , a Chrìosda, Rìgh na Glòir;
Is Tu Mac sìorraidh gun tùs,
Nach d' rinn tàir air com na h-Oigh
Gu sàbhaladh a cheannach dhuinn.

You, O Christ, are king of Glory;
You are eternal son without beginning,
who did not disdain the virgin's womb
to win for us salvation

Thug Thu buaidh air guin a bhais:
Dh' fhosgail Thu dhad chreidich Nèamh.
S Tu tha 'n glòir Athair nan gras,
Nad shuidhe air deas-làimh Dhè.

You conquered the sharpness of death:
You opened heaven for the your faithful.
You are in Glory, Father of grace,
Sitting at God's right hand.

Dèan tròcair oirnn, a Dhia nan gràs:
Rèir ar n-earbsa, dean tròcair oirnn.
Mo dhòchas tha unnads a-mhàin:
A chaoidh cha bhi fàillinn orm.

Have mercy on us, O God of grace:
According to our trust, have mercy on us.
My hope is in you alone:
Never shall I fail.
