the English sense of the words.

Thighearn
Iosa Crìosd,
Rinn Thu còmhnaidh leinn
Mar aon dhinn fhìn, Mhic Mhoire mhìn;
Gach anam glèidht' o pheacadh breun
Bhon dhòirt Thu oirnn
do ghràdh mar bhraon -
Shlànaigheir phrìseil, dhuts' ar ceòl,
Thighearn tha beò.
|
Lord
Jesus Christ,
you have come to us
As one with us, Son of gentle Mary
Each soul protected from corrupting sin
Since you poured on us
your shower of grace -
Precious Saviour, to you our song,
Living Lord.
|
Thighearn
Iosa Crìosd,
Thoir do stiùireadh dhuinn
Nar n-ùrnaigh, aon Mhic Dhè;
"Dèanaibh an nì seo air mo sgàth" -
Aithne a dh fhàg Thu as do dhèidh;
Bidh buaidh do chumhachd
leinn gach là.
Thighearn tha beò.
|
Lord
Jesus Christ,
Direct us
in our prayer, only Son of God;
"Do this on my account" -
A command you left behind;
The goodness of your power
will be with us each day
Living Lord

Thighearn
Iosa Crìosd,
Rinn thu còmhnaidh leinn
‘S Tu beò nar measg, Mhic Mhoire mhìn;
Nuair cheus iad Thu
air Crann a Bhròin,
Bhon uaigh ‘s bhon bhàs bha sinne saor,
Gun tuigeamaid gur Tusa Dia,
Thighearn tha beò.
|
Lord
Jesus Christ,
You have come to us
You are with us, Son of gentle Mary;
When they crucified you
on the cross of sorrow,
from the grave and death we were saved,
that we might understand that You are God,
Living Lord.
|
Thighearn
Iosa Crìosd,
Riutsa theannainn dlùth,
Ghlèidhinn t àithntean, aon Mhic Dhè;
Is dheanainn ùmhlachd fad mo là
Dhan Tì a chruthaich m anam fhèin;
Do ghràs ‘s do choibhneas molaidh mi,
Thighearn tha beò.
|
Lord
Jesus Christ,
To you I would come,
I would keep your commands,
only Son of God
I would reverence every day
the One who created my own soul;
Your grace and kindness I will praise
