"Íosa"

Bi, a iosa, im chroise I gcuimhne gach uair Be, O Jesus, remembered in my heart every hour Bi, a iosa, im chroise le haithri go luath Boj, in my heart (?) soon Bi, a iosa, im chroise le cumann go buan Boj, in my heart with fellowship forever O, a iosa 'Dhe dhilis, na scar? Thusa uaim O, Jesus of God faithful, don't separate yourself from me Gan iosa mo smaointe ni thaithnionn liom fein Without Jesus? In my thoughts, I'm not happy in myself Gan iosa mo scribhinn na foghar mo bheil Wj in my writing, don't (?) my mouth Gan iosa mo ghniomhartha nil maith in san tsaol Wj in my actions there's no good in life O, a iosa 'Dhe dhilis, bi romham is am dheidh O Jesus of God faithful, be before and after me Se iosa mo rise, mo chara 's mo ghra Jesus is my king, my friend, my love Se iosa mo dhidean ar pheaca 's ar bhas J is my shelter from sin and death Se iosa mo aoibhneas, mo scathan? Do ghnath J is my happiness, my mirror (?) A's, a iosa, 'Dhe dhilis, na scar uaim go brath Ah, and O Jesus of God faithful, don't ever be apart from me Bi, a iosa, go siorai im chroi is im bheal Be O Jesus, eternally in my heart and in my (?) mouth Bi, a iosa, go siorai im thuigse mar an gceann' Boj, eternally in my understanding all the time Bi, a iosa, go siorai im mheabhair mar leann Boj, eternally in my mind as instruction O, a iiosa, 'Dhe dhilis, na fag me liom fein O Jesus of God faithful, don't leave me by myself
