Lyrics
Christ be near at either hand,Christ behind, before me stand,
Christ with me where e’er I go,
Christ around, above, below.
Christ be in my head and mind,
Christ within my soul enshrined,
Christ control my wayward heart;
Christ abide and ne’er depart.
Christ my life and only way,
Christ my lantern night and day,
Christ be my unchanging friend,
Guide and shepherd to the end.
Christ be all my strength and might,
Christ my captain for the fight;
Christ fulfil my soul’s desire;
Christ, enoble and inspire.
Christ the King and Lord of all,
Find me ready at his call;
Christ receive my service whole,
Hand and body, heart and soul.
Christ the King of kings descend
And of tyrants make an end;
Christ on us and all below,
Concord, love and peace bestow.
Thanks to him, who for our food
Gives his sacrifice flesh and blood;
Praise to him unceasing rise,
Christ whose glory fills the skies.

Gu robh Criosda dluth rium air gach taobhCriosda bhith romham is air mo chul
Criosda bhith rium gach ait’ dhan teid mi
Criosda mun cuairt’ agus shuas agus shios.
Criosd’, mo shlighe is mo bheatha
Criosd’ mo lanntair oidhch’ is la
Criosd’ bi dhomh ‘nad charaid fior
Stiuir is ciobair gus mo chrioch.
God bless you. .. Preapare a new song for the lord!!
