Church Hymnal (Fifth Ed.) ‎#17

17. Lead me, Lord, lead me in thy righteousness (Treoraigh mé, treoraigh mé, a Thiarna)

1 Lead me, Lord, lead me in thy righteousness,
make thy way plain before my face.
For it is thou, Lord, thou, Lord, only,
that makest me dwell in safety

1 Treoraigh mé, treoraigh mé, a Thiarna,
go suílad ar bhóthar firéantachta De:
foilsigh an tslí romham, óir níl ann, a Thiarna,
ach tusa amháin a choimeádann slán mé.
