Blessing from the Lord on High Over Munster fall and lie; To her son's and daughters all Choicest blessings still befall; Fruitful blessing on the soil That supports her faithful toil! Blessing full of ruddy health, Blessing full of every wealth That her borders furnish forth, East and West and South and North; Blessing from the Lord on High Over Munster fall and lie! Blessing on her peaks in air, Blessing on her flag-stones bare; Blessing from her ridges flow To her grassy glens below; Blessing from the Lord on High Over Munster fall and lie! As the sands upon the shore Underneath her ships, for store, Be her hearths, a twinkling host Over mountain, plain, and coast! Blessing from the Lord on High Over Munster fall and lie! |
