about

Recessional

Christ of my rising tide
guide me in this sea
of risings and of fallings
and uncharted territories



Ag Críost An Síol, Ag Críost and fomhar
With Christ the seed, with Christ the harvest

I n-Iothlainn Dé, go dtugtar Sinn
In the granary of God, may we be taken

Ag Críost an Mhuir, ag Criost an t-iasc
Oh Christ of the sea, Oh Christ of the fish

I líonta Dé go gcastar sinn,
In the lines of God may we be entwined.

O fhás go h-aois, is o aois go bás
From growth to age and from age to death

Do dhá láimh a Chríost anall tharainn
May your two hands oh Christ, draw us in

O bhás go críoch, ni críoch ach athfhás
From death to the end, not the end, but all eternity

I bParrthas na nGrást go rabhaimid
In the paradise of beatitude may we rest.



Quietly now
for she is very near
and very far
and though she doesn't
frighten easily
you must know by now
that you do.
