The New Moon
(A Ghealach Ur)

In name of the Father Almighty,
In name of the Glorious Son,
In name of the Holy Spirit,
By grace of the Three-in-One.

If to-night, 0 moon, thou hast found us
In peaceful, happy rest,
May thy laving lustre leave us
Seven times still more blest.

0 moon so fair,
May it be so,
As seasons come,
And seasons go.

From the Carmina Gadelica – versification by John Henry Dixon
