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

O Chrìdh Mhic Dhè,
Tha'r dòchas annad suaint';
Air talamh fois an fhògraich thruaigh,
Air Neamh, ‘s Tu do na naoimh am buaidh,
O Chrìdh Mhic Dhè, O Chrìdh Mhic Dhè

O Heart of God's Son,
Our hope is placed in you;
On earth you are rest for the poor exile,
In heaven, you are the glory of the saints,
O Heart of God's Son, O Heart of God's Son

O Chrìdh' Mhic Dhè,
‘S Tu fuaran deòir a bhròin;
Air bith ca ruith na h-uisgean beò,
Gheibh peacaich thruagh às ùr an deò,
O Chrìdh Mhic Dhè, O Chrìdh Mhic Dhè.

O Heart of God's Son,
The fount of contrite tears;
Where'er those living waters flow,
New life to sinners they bestow,
O Heart of God's Son, O Heart of God's Son

O Chrìdh' Mhic Dhè,
Tha ar n-earbsa làidir slàn;
Ged bhiodh an oidhche dorcha, cian,
Bidh t' anail chùbhraidh dhuinn na dìon,
O Chrìdh Mhic Dhè, O Chrìdh Mhic Dhè.

O Heart of God's Son,
Our trust is strong and whole;
Though the night be dark and drear,
Your sweet breath will protect us,
O Heart of God's Son, O Heart of God's Son

O Chrìdh' Mhic Dhè,
Nuair chruinnicheas neòil a bhais,
Sgaoil sgiath do churaim oirnn mun cuairt,
Is buairidhean an deamhain ruaig.
O Chrìdh Mhic Dhè, O Chrìdh Mhic Dhè.

O Heart of God's Son,
When the shades of darkness gather,
Spread about us your wings of care,
Put to flight the temptations of the devil
O Heart of God's Son, O Heart of God's Son

O Chrìdh Mhic Dhè,
Don dachaigh stiùir do chlann,
Far ‘m bi iad còmhla riut gu bràth.
An glòir ‘s an sòlas sìor a tàmh,
O Chrìdh Mhic Dhè, O Chrìdh Mhic Dhè.

O Heart of God's Son,
Lead your children home,
Where with you forever they'll be.
In glory, joy and eternal rest
O Heart of God's Son, O Heart of God's Son
