      O Brigit of the Curragh,
      O Brigit of Codal.
    2. O Brigit of Codal,

      my body and my soul!
    3. O Brigit of Munster,
      with thee is my cleansing;
      O Brigit of Ulster,
      O Brigit of Leinster!
    4. Till Doom be thus
      our land in Bregmag,56
      our union on earth,
      our union in heaven.
    5. Heavenly health, special love,
      welcome with right they extend,
