Ag Criost An Siol |
| Ag Criost An Siol, Ag Criost and fomhar |
| With Christ of the seed, with Christ of the harvest |
| I n-Iothlainn De, go dtugtar Sinn |
| In the granary of God, may we be taken |
| Ag Criost an Mhuir, ag Criost an t-iasc |
| With Christ of the sea, with Christ of the fishes |
| I lionta De go gcastar sinn |
| In the lines of God may we be entwined |
| O fhas go h-aois, is o aois go bas |
| From growth to age and from age to death |
| Do dha laimh a Chriost anall tharainn |
| Your two hands o Christ hither draw us |
| O bhas go crioch, ni crioch ach athfhas |
| From death to the end, not the end, but all eternity |
| I bParrthas na nGrast go rabhaimid |
| In paradise of the blessed may we reside |
| Ireland in September 1979. Paddy was one of the first people to introduce this |
| Song in it’s 'Sean-Nos' style to audiences and congregations on both sides of |
| The Atlantic. |
| It’s plaintive, mystical air has been heard at many, many Irish |
| Funerals as well as Irish weddings where the lyrics remind all of the eternal |
| Cycles of growth, age, death, and beyond to the paradise of the blessed.) |
