Lyrics
(Chorus)

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

(Chorus x2)

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

(Chorus)
