LADY OF KNOCK
as recorded by Tony Kenny on Irish Hits 1991 Colleen Music, a division of Rego Irish Records & Tapes, Inc.
COL-3106(9106)

  
There were people of all ages   
Gathered 'round the gabled wall.  
Poor and humble men and women,   
Little children that you call.  
We are gathered here before you,   
And our hearts are just the same.  
Filled with joy at such a vision   
As we praise your name.  
  
  Golden Rose, Queen of Ireland  
  All my cares and troubles cease.  
  As I kneel with love before you,  
  Lady of Knock, my Queen of peace.  
  
Though your message is unspoken  
Still the truth in silence lies.  
So I gaze upon your vision   
And the truth I try to find.  
Here I stand with John the teacher  
And with Joseph at your side  
And I see the Lamb of God  
On the altar glorified.  
  
  Golden Rose, Queen of Ireland  
  All my cares and troubles cease.  
  As I kneel with love before you,  
  Lady of Knock, my Queen of peace.  
  
    And the Lamb will conquer   
    And the woman clothed in the sun  
    Will shine her light on ev'ry one.  
    Yes, the Lamb will conquer   
    And the woman clothed in the sun  
    Will shine her light on ev'ry one.  
  
  Golden Rose, Queen of Ireland  
  All my cares and troubles cease.  
  As I kneel with love before you,  
  Lady of Knock, my Queen of peace.  
  Lady of Knock, my Queen of peace.

Here you go, my friend.

LADY OF KNOCK Key of Bb Capo G3

There were people of all ages, gathered round the gable wall
Poor and humble men and women, there were children at your call.
We have gathered her before you, and our hearts are just the same
Filled with joy and such a vision, as we pray your name.

CHORUS

Golden Rose, Queen of Ireland, all our cares and troubles cease.
As we kneel with love before you,
Lady of Knock, our Queen of Peace

Though your message is unspoken, still the truth in silence lies.
So I gaze upon your vision, and the truth I try to find.
Here I stand with John, the teacher, and with Joseph at my side
And I see the Lamb of God, on the altar glorified.

CHORUS

And the Lamb will comfort, and the woman clothed in the sun,
will shine her light on everyone.
Yes the Lamb will comfort, and the woman clothed in the sun,
will shine her light on everyone.

CHORUS, REPEAT LAST PHRASE OF CHORUS "LADY OF KNOCK, MY QUEEN OF PEACE"

Does anybody know anything more about this song and the story behind it? I'm going to Ireland with a church group Monday, and I'm supposed to lead the music. We're going to Knock, and it would be nice to know something about the song. The theology behind it makes me cringe, but it certainly seems to be popular.

If you're going to Knock, see if you can find time to get to Killala. The Village Inn there has a great session, some of the other pubs in the village have music too.

Knock is a wilderness. I went by RyanAir from Stansted for the 1998 bicentenary do and the plane was 7 hours late. By the time we got there, Knock airport had been closed 2 hours!

Cheers!

Also do a search on Monsignor Horan, which discusses a different song about the same thing, and you'll get a lot more history. Sorry no time to do myself and insert blicky.

Not to pour cold (holy) water on the beauty of the vision or anything, but there's a strong rumour in Ireland that the local priest was trying out a magic lantern someone had lent him at the time of the original visions, by projecting images of Our Lady on the gable wall of a nearby house...
