Don Oíche Úd I mBeithil lyrics
Celtic Woman
Don oíche úd i mBeithil,
Beidh tagairt ar ghrian go brách
Don oíche úd i mBeithil,
Go dtáinig an Briathar slán
Tá gríosghrua ar spéartha,
'S an talamh 'na chlúdach bán
Féach íosagán sa chléibhín,
'S an Mhaighdean in aoibhneas grá
Ar leacain lom an tsléibhe,
Go nglacann na haoirí scáth
Nuair in oscailt gheal na spéire,
Tá teachtaire Dé ar fáil
Céad glóir anois don Athair,
I bhFlaitheasa thuas go hard
Is feasta fós ar talamh,
D'fheara, dea-mhéin síocháin.

English Lyrics:I sing of a night in Bethlehem A night as bright as dawn I sing of that night in Bethlehem The night the Word was born The skies are glowing gaily The earth in white is dressed See Jesus in the cradle Drink deep in His mother's breast And there on a lonely hillside The shepherds bow down in fear When the heavens open brightly And God's message rings out so clear Glory now to the Father In all the Heavens high And peace to His friends on earth below Is all the angels cry
