LAOIDH CHALUIM CHILLE / ST. COLUMBA'S HYMN
(Traditional, arr. William Jackson, Mae McKenna)

"The melody of Laoidh Chaluim Chille is a very ancient Gaelic air which local legend attributes to Saint Columba (Chaluim Chille), a 6th century Irish priest credited with bringing Christianity to Scotland.
Columba was a Gaelic prince of royal blood and from accounts of his life emerges as a combination of meek saint and Celtic warrior. He founded a monastic community on the remote Scottish island of Iona, a site considered sacred long before the dawn of Christianity, and it was upon arriving safely on the shores of Iona after hazardous journey by boat that he supposedly sang "Laoidh Chaluim Chille". Legends around about Columba's miraculous powers, especially over animals, and his life continues to fascinate scholars to this day."

GAELIC LYRICS

Nis sabhailt air tir bheir sinn aoradh dh' an ti
Do athair na glorach ar righ
Bho eire gu alb ar lochran 's ar n' earbs'
Feadh aisridhean gabhaidh a' chuain

Gloir dh'an athair, dhan mhac's dh'an spiorad ro naomh
Fad saoghal nan saoghal, aum

Bean - neach thusa mo thigh a thrionaid ro-mhinn
A mhoire, 'sa mhicheil 'sa bhrighd'
Bho mhullach gu bonn gach sparr agus crann
'san slusgh a ni tuineaghadh ann

Gloir dh'an athair, dhan mhac's dh'an spiorad ro naomh
Fad saoghal nan saoghal, aum

Cuiridh facal do bhaigh ana criosdaidh gu nair
Cas bheart soisgeul nan gras oirnn gach uair;
Sgiath a' chreideimh 'gar dion bho laimh ana miann
Claidheamh spiorad-ail, diadh-aith, ar buaidh

Gloir dh'an athair, dhan mhac's dh'an spiorad ro naomh
Fad saoghal nan saoghal, aum

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Now safely ashore we give worship and praise
O Father of glory to thee
From Eire to Alba our torch and our guide
O'er the perilous path of the sea.
CHO: Glory to that Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Bless the house we shall build o trinity great
O Mary and Michael and Bride
Foundation and floor and portal and roof
And the folk who therein will abide. CHO.

May the armour of light put the heathen to shame
May our feet with gospel be shod
May the shield of our faith o'er their arrows prevail
And the sword of the spirit of God. CHO.
