Invocation: A Íosa teacht chugham

from hymns to swear by by Pádraig Ó Tuama

/

about

Written during that awful year.

lyrics

A íosa teacht chugham,
tá m’anam in uaigh
Óg an ufás i mo chinn ach
aosta i mo chroí.
Cá bhfuil a solas dom spriod
cá bhfuil neart is an troid
idir ufás
agus dolás?
A íosa teacht chugham

am not I the foolish one?
I the loosing one?
I the searching one for the lover of
my soul.
He’s gone
but here always
he is the Lord of my byways
and has walked my paths my twisting,
twisted roads,
taking me with him.

Oh Jesus come to me
my soul is in a grave
young the terror in my mind
but old in my heart
Where is the light of my spirit
where is the strength
and the fight
between what’s good and what is awful
oh Jesus come to me.
