I'm looking for the "original" Irish lyrics to "Be Thou My Vision." I understand its a 7th or 8th century poem or prayer. Anybody got any idea where I can find it? I've been all over the Web without luck.

Write me at [url=mailto:[e-mail]][e-mail][/url]

BTW: If you know of any other freely available music of the Celtic churches, I'd be blessed if you'd let me know

Hi Aonghas,
welcome to the Mudcat!
Sorry I can't help you with the lyrics.
But two hints about how this place works:

1. Postings do not work in UBB, but in html
2. We usually put the lyrics someone requested right here, so others can see them as well.
