A Thiarna treoaigh muid
Sólás a thabhairt nach é a cuartú
Mar bheireann tú maithiúnas
Gheobhaidh tú maithniúnas
A Thiarna treoaigh muid
(Lord, grant that I may seek
Rather to comfort than to be comforted
It is forgiving that
One is forgiven
Lord, guide us)
Make me a channel of Your peace
Gur bheir grá a thabhairt na é a fháil
Agus nuair a gheobhaimid bás
Múscailte muid i mbeatha síoraí
(Rather to love than to be loved
And it is by dying
One awakens to eternal life)
Where there is doubt, I bring faith
Make me a channel of Your peace
Mar bheireann tú grá
Gheobhaidh tú grá
Agus nuair a gheobhaimid bás
Muscailte muid i mbeatha síoraí
(If you give love
You will receive love
And it is by dying
One awakens to eternal life)
Where there is hatred, I bring love
A Thiarna treoaigh muid
