Lyrics
O Holy night! The stars are brightly shining
– O Oíche Naofa! Tá na réaltaí ag taitneamh go geal
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
– Is é oíche bhreith Ár slánaitheora daor
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
– Fada a leagan ar fud an domhain i pheaca agus earráid pining
‘Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
– ‘Til chuma sé agus bhraith an anam a fiú
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
– A thrill of hope tá lúcháir ar an domhan traochta
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
– Do bhriseann thall maidin nua ghlórmhar
Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices!
– Titim ar do ghlúine; o éist le guthanna Na Naingeal!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
– O oíche dhiaga, O oíche Nuair A rugadh Críost
O night, O Holy night, O night divine!
– O oíche, O Oíche Naofa, o oíche dhiaga!
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
– Faoi stiúir an Solas An Chreidimh serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
– Le croíthe glé ag a chliabhán seasann muid
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
– Mar sin faoi stiúir solas réalta ag gleamadh go binn
Here come the Wise Men from Orient land
– Seo chugainn Na Fir Críonna ó orient land
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger
– Luigh Rí na ríthe mar sin i manger íseal
In all our trials born to be our friend
– Inár dtrialacha go léir a rugadh le bheith inár gcara
He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger
– Tá a fhios aige ár riachtanas, ní strainséir é ár laige
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend
– Féuch do Rí; os a chomhair lúb íseal
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend
– Féuch do Rí; os a chomhair lúb íseal
Truly He taught us to love one another;
– Go fírinneach mhúin Sé dúinn grá a thabhairt dá chéile;
His law is love and His Gospel is Peace
– Is é a dhlí grá agus Is Síocháin É A Shoiscéal
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother
– Slabhraí brisfidh Sé, óir is é an sclábhaí ár ndeartháir
And in His name, all oppression shall cease
– Agus ina ainm, scoirfidh gach cos ar bolg
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
– Iomainn milis áthais i gcór buíoch ardaigh muid
Let all within us Praise His Holy name
– Lig Dúinn go Léir Laistigh Dúinn Moladh A ainm Naofa
Christ is the Lord; O praise His name forever!
– Is é críost An Tiarna; o moladh A ainm go deo!
His power and glory evermore proclaim
– Fógraíonn a chumhacht agus a ghlóir go deo
His power and glory evermore proclaim
– Fógraíonn a chumhacht agus a ghlóir go deo
