The Chieftains - Don Oíche Ud I mBeithil lyrics

I sing of a night in Bethlehem a night as bright as dawn I sing of that night in Bethlehem the night the Word was born the skies are glowing gaily the earth in white is dressed see Jesus in his cradle drink deep in His mother's breast and there on a lonely hillside the shepherds bow down in fear when the heavens open brightly and God's message rings out so clear glory now to the Father in all the heavens high and peace to His friends on earth below is all the angels cry ⁂ don oíche úd i mBeithil beidh tagairt ar ghrian go brách don oíche úd i mBeithil go dtáinig an Briathar slán tá gríosghrua ar spéartha, 's an talamh 'na chlúdach bán féach íosagán sa chléibhín 's an Mhaighdean in aoibhneas grá ar leacain lom an tsléibhe go nglacann na haoirí scáth nuair in oscailt gheal na spéire tá teachtaire Dé ar fáil céad glóir anois don Athair i bhFlaitheasa thuas go hard is feasta fós ar talamh d'fheara, dea-mhéin síocháin
