Transcript: Hymn 42: ‘O, for the Wings of Faith and Love’

Yn arrane daeed as jees
Song forty two

1.
O Yee cur skianyn credjue dou
Dy gholl erskyn yn aer:
Dy chur-my-ner cummaltee niau,
Marish nyn garrey deyr.

2.
Keayrt v’ad ayns shoh lesh creeaghyn brisht,
Goaill toshiaght ‘sy raad cair;
As gleck dy creoi, myr ta shin nish,
Noi peccah as dangeyr.

3.
Fenee kys hooar ad gys bea veayn,
As maynrys nagh vel treih?
As t’ad gansoor trooid fuill yn Eayn,
T’eh er choyrt dooin wheesh dy ghraih.

4.
Liorish dy kinjagh geiyrt da Creest,
V’ad niartal ayns e ghrayse:
As nish ayns gloyr t’ad er hoie sheese,
Rish lhiattee’n Jee hur baase.
