Bhí na haoirí ar na sléibhte

nuair a chuala siad an scéal.

 

Tháinig na trí ríthe

le hór, túis agus miorr.

Fadó, fadó i mBeithil,

i stábla dorcha lom, 

rugadh an leanbh Íosa.

An Nollaig a bhí ann. 

 

Muire agus Íosaf,

asal agus bó. 

Ríthe agus aoirí ann

chun ómós a thabhairt dó.

An sneachta bog bán,

Ag titim, ag titim,

Oíche Chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé,

Cách na suan go héiri an lae.

Dís is dílse ag faire le spéis.

Glór binn aingeal le clos insan aer.

Críost ag teacht ar an saol.

Críost ag teacht ar an saol.

Oíche Chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé,

Aoirí ar dtús a chuala an scéal

Alleluia aingeal ag glaoch

Cantain suairc i ngar is i gcéin.

Bí linne, a Íosa, bí linne go deo.

Bí linne san oíche, bí linne sa ló.

 

Tabhair grá do na páistí,

tabhair grá dóibh go léir,

 

Tabhair aire do na páistí,

tabhair aire dóibh go léir.
