Psalm 63 sung to the tune "Bays of Harris" by my sister, Clare Ross. The tune was composed by the late Rev. Alex Muir. The song was included on the cassette "Fuaim an Dusgaidh" (The Sound of Revival) which Alex and Clare recorded on cassette in 1985. The pictures are of the Isle of Berneray.
WORDS:
O Dhia, is tu mo Dhia, gu moch
Iarraidh mi thu gach la
Ro-thartmhor a ta m'anam bochd,
An geall ort fein do ghnàth
Tha miann, is ciocras mòr air m' fheoil
An geall ort fein gach am,
An tir ro thioram thartmhoir theith
Gun uisg' air bith bhi ann
Do chumhachd chum gu faicinn fein
's do ghlòir ata ro-chaomh
A reir mar chunncas roimhe thu,
le cliu do d' àros naomh.
Airson gur fearr na beatha fòs
Do chaoimhneas gradhach caoin
Ard mholadh dhuit le iomadh cliu
mo bhile bheir faraon.
Mar sin an cian a bhitheas mi beo
Beannaicheam thu a ghnàth
Is ann ad naomh-ainm togam suas
Mo làmhan riut gach tràth.
'N trà ni mi air mo leabaidh fòs
Do chuimhneachadh le tlachd,
'S an am na faire smuaineach' ort,
Ag dol do 'n oidhche thart'.
Airson gur tu b'fhear coghnaidh leam,
A Thighearn' is a Dhe ;
Bidh aoibhneas agus aiteas orm,
Fo dhùbhar sgail do sge'.
