Remembering one of our own Hebrideans Eilidh MacLeod aged 14 who died in the Manchester bomb.

Hymn


 
 
A Mhaighdeann as gile
Oh purest of creatures
A Mhoire mhìn mhàthair
Sweet Mother, sweet Maid
Nad chomsa na aonar
The one spotless womb
Bha 'n Slànair a' tamh
Wherein Jesus was laid
Tha 'n oidhche, a Mhoire
Dark night, mother
Air tuiteam mun cuairt
Hath come down on us
Nach nochd thu do shoillse
And we look out for thy shining
Reul àlainn a' Chuain?
Sweet Star of the Sea
 
 
Reul àlainn a' Chuain
Sweet Star of the Sea
Reul àlainn a' Chuain
Sweet Star of the Sea
Nach nochd thu do shoillse
And we look out for thy shining
Reul àlainn a' Chuain?
Sweet Star of the Sea
 
 
Tha 'n oidhche le neulaibh
Deep night hath come down
A' còmhdach an t-saoghail
On this rough-spoken world
Tha bratach an dorchadais
And the banners of darkness
Sgaoilt' anns a' ghaoith
Are boldly unfurled
Tha 'n Eaglais ga buaireadh
And the tempest-tossed Church
'S tha sùil coimhead suas
All her eyes are on thee
Nach nochd thu do shoillse
They look to thy shining
Reul àlainn a' Chuain?
Sweet Star of the Sea
 
 
Reul àlainn a' Chuain
Sweet Star of the Sea
Reul àlainn a' Chuain
Sweet Star of the Sea
Nach nochd thu do shoillse
They look to thy shining
Reul àlainn a' Chuain?
Sweet Star of the Sea
 
 
Bu lèir do Mhac Dè d'anam
He gazed on thy soul
Geal 's e gun bheud
It was spotless and fair
'S nach tàinig am peacadh
For the empire of sin
Na chòir ghabhail seilbh
It had never been there
Cha d' bhuin e bho thùs
None had e'er owned thee
Ach don Tighearna 's uaisl'
Dear Mother, but He
Is choisrig e d' shoillse
And He blessed thy clear shining
Reul àlainn a' Chuain
Sweet Star of the Sea
 
 
Reul àlainn a' Chuain
Sweet Star of the Sea
Reul àlainn a' Chuain
Sweet Star of the Sea
Is choisrig e d' shoillse
And He blessed thy clear shining
Reul àlainn a' Chuain
Sweet Star of the Sea
