Subject: Lyr Add: a Iosa, a Iosa (Irish Gaelic hymn)
I wasn't present at the time, but someone reportedly sang a song "Jesus, Jesus" in Irish Gaelic at a Mudcat singaround in June 2022. It may have been this well-known hymn

CÉAD MÍLE FÁILTE ROMHAT, a ÍOSA

Céad míle fáilte romhat, a Íosa, a Íosa
Céad míle fáilte romhat, a Íosa
Céad míle fáilte romhat a Shlánaítheoir
Céad míle míle fáilte romhat, 'Íosa, a Íosa

Glóir agus moladh duit, a Íosa, a Íosa
Glóir agus moladh duit, a Íosa
Glóir agus moladh duit, a Shlánaítheoir
Glóir, moladh agus buíochas duit, 'Íosa, a Íosa.

Translation
A hundred thousand welcomes, O Jesus, O Jesus
A hundred thousand welcomes, O Jesus
A hundred thousand welcomes, O Saviour
A hundred thousand welcomes, O Jesus, O Jesus.

Glory and praise to You, O Jesus, O Jesus
Glory and praise to You, O Jesus
Glory and praise to You, O Savior
Glory and praise and thanks to You, O Jesus, O Jesus.
