Shaun Davey - God Be With Me lyrics

Mick Lally, narrator and Helen Davies, metal-string harp; selected verses from Gerard Murphy's translation form the 9th century poem in old Irish. With its reference to `every glorious pilgrim' and its plea for protection `against the fog-surrounded demons' (a reference to the perils of ship-wreck if ever there was one) but above all for its all-encompa**ing embrace of people of all races and persuasions this seems appropriate as the final spoken text.
