Again therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world: he that
followeth me, walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12)

Chun Bríde Naofa


A Bhríd a Mhuire na nGaeil,
A Bhríd, scaoil tharam do bhrat
agus coinnigh faoi do chumhdach mé
go mbeidh mé leat i bhFlaitheas Dé. (1)
 Bríd Mary of the Gael,
Bríd, let your mantle pass over me
and keep me under your (protective) covering
until I am with you in the Paradise of God.

A Naomh Bríd a Mhuire na nGael, scar orainn
do bhrat.
A Naomh Bríd a chroí na féile, stiúir sinn ar an
mbóthar ceart.
A Naomh Bríd gheanúil ghrástúil, ar ár namhaid
cosain sinn.
A Naomh Bríd a bhean rialta álainn, ar uair ár
mbáis glaoigh orainn. (2)
Holy Bríd, Mary of the Gael, spread your
mantle over us.
Holy Bríd heart of generosity, guide us on the
right road.
Holy Bríd gracious and loving, defend us against
our enemy.
Holy Bríd beautiful nun, call upon us
at the hour of our death.
