The Light On The Hill

Moya Brennan

Low ro ho ro 	
Glór na Gael 	
Low ro ho ro 	
Éist le glór Dé 	
  	 
A sea journey takes him across
Takes our hero across
With the word in his heart
Lonely he prayed on the hill
Night and day, a hundred times
A hundred times and more 	 
  	 
And the voice he heard calling
To plant the light of life
The light on the hill 	 
  	 
Low ro ho ro 	
Glór na Gael 	
Low ro ho ro 	
Éist le glór Dé

Low ro ho ro 	
Glór na Gael 	
Low ro ho ro 	
Éist le glór Dé 	 
  	 
A mission of faith sounds the bell
Brought a holy man with dreams
With his dreams for this island
Letters he left to declare
This was his promised land
It's the land that was chosen 	 
  	 
The voice and his message
Still lives a thousand years
A thousand years and more 	 
  	 
Low ro ho ro 	
Glór na Gael 	
Low ro ho ro 	
Éist le glór Dé

Low ro ho ro 	
Glór na Gael 	
Low ro ho ro 	
Éist le glór Dé

Low ro ho ro 	
Glór na Gael 	
Low ro ho ro 	
Éist le glór Dé
