Irish song lyrics

We'll sing a song, a soldiers song With cheering, rousing chorus; As round our blazing fires we throng The starry heavens over us; Impatient for the coming fight, And as we wait the mornings light Here in the silence of the night, We'?ll chant a soldiers song.

(Refrain) Soldiers are we, whose lives are pledged to Ireland, Some have come from a land beyond the wave. Sworn to be free, no more our ancient sire land Shall shelter the despot, or the slave; Tonight we man the bearna baoghal In Erin?s cause come woe or weal;

Mid cannons roar and rifles peal We'll chant a soldiers song. by Peadar Kearney

DANNY BOY

Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling, From glen to glen and down the mountain side, The summer’s gone and all the flowers are dying ’Tis you ’tis you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow, Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow. ’Tis I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow, Oh Danny Boy, Oh Danny Boy, I love you so. And when you come and all the flowers are dying, If I am dead - as dead I well may be. Ye’ll come and find a place where I am lying, And kneel and say an Ave there for me; And I shall hear though soft your tread above me, And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be. For you will bend and tell me that you love me And I shall live in peace, until you come to me.

AMAZING GRACE

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now I'm found Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace that fear relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far And grace will lead me home.

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds And drives away his fear.

Must Jesus bear the cross alone And all the world go free No, there's a cross for everyone And there's a cross for me.

When we've been here ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we first begun Dr. John Newton #583 irish song

AN IRISH LULLABY "TURA LURA"

Over in Killarney Many years ago, Me Mither sang a song to me In tones so sweet and low. Just a simple little ditty, In her good ould Irish way, And l'd give the world if she could sing That song to me this day.

Chorus: "Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry! Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby."

Oft in dreams I wander To that cot again, I feel her arms a-huggin' me As when she held me then. And I hear her voice a -hummin' To me as in days of yore, When she used to rock me fast asleep Outside the cabin door. #584 irish song

WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILING

There's a tear in your eye, And I'm wondering why, For it never should be there at all. With such pow'r in your smile, Sure a stone you'd beguile, So there's never a teardrop should fall. When your sweet lilting laughter's Like some fairy song, And your eyes twinkle bright as can be; You should laugh all the while And all other times smile, And now, smile a smile for me.

Chorus When Irish eyes are smiling, Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring. In the lilt of Irish laughter You can hear the angels sing. When Irish hearts are happy, All the world seems bright and gay. And when Irish eyes are smiling, Sure, they steal your heart away.

For your smile is a part Of the love in your heart, And it makes even sunshine more bright. Like the linnet's sweet song, Crooning all the day long, Comes your laughter and light. For the springtime of life Is the sweetest of all There is ne'er a real care or regret; And while springtime is ours Throughout all of youth's hours, Let us smile each chance we get. #585 irish song

WEDDING SONG

He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts, rest assured this troubadour is acting on His part.

The union of your spirits here has caused you to remain, for wherever two or more of you are gathered in His name, there is love.

Well a man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home, then shall travel on to where the two shall be as one.

As it was in the beginning, is now and till the end, woman draws her life from man and gives it back again, there is love.

Well then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife, Is it love that brings you here, or love that brings you life?

For if loving is the answer, then who's the giving force? Do you believe in something you've never seen before, there is love.

The marriage of your spirits here has caused Him to remain, for wherever two or more of you are gathered in His name, there is love ~ yes, there is love.

Based on Genesis 2:22-24
