lyrics

“The Child of Glory”
Words Scottish traditional, Collected by Alexander Carmichael in Carmina Gadelica
With Bible passage Zephaniah 3:17 in English and Irish
Music by Karen Ballew

Verse 1:
The Child of glory,
The Child of Mary,
Born in the stable,
The King of all,
Who came to the wilderness
And in our stead suffered;
Happy they are counted
Who to Him are near.

Verse 2:
When He Himself saw
That we were in travail,
Heaven opened graciously
Over our head;
We beheld Christ,
The Spirit of truth,
The same drew us in
‘Neath the shield of His crown.

BRIDGE, Zephaniah 3:17---

Call: “The Lord your God is in your midst,

Response: Tá an Tiarna, do Dhia, i do lár

Call: a mighty one who will save;

Response: mar laoch caithréimeach;

Call: He will rejoice over you with gladness;

Response: Déanfaidh sé gairdeas go spleodrach mar gheall ort.

Call: He will quiet you by His love;

Response: Athnuafaidh sé thú le neart a ghrá;

Call: He will exult over you with loud singing,

Response: Tógfaidh sé gártha áthais ar do shon

Call: He will exult over you with loud singing!

Response: faoi mar a dhéantar ar lá an tsollúntais!”

Verse 3
Strengthen our hope,
Enliven our joyance,
Keep us valiant,
Faithful and near;
O light of our lantern,
Along with the angels,
Singing in glory
The anthem new.
