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 whitest dress
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
Donn oíche úr de meitheal, beag tagart ar ghream go broch
Donn oíche úr de meitheal, go dtáinig an bhraith ar slán
Tá crí os dhúair ar feiridh, chun calladh na clúdach bhán
'Sé a Chríos ag an sa chléibhín, san mbeidh ina giúla grán
Ar leac an lán m'an tréithe, go glacann a thairis ó
Nuair in ascaibh gheibh na spéir, tá teacht ar an dé ar bhóil
Éad moine an mhisneach an t-airid, i bpláthach bhos go hord
Is fasta fós ar thalló, d'fhadar d'aigéin sí a sháinn!
