| Don oíche úd i mBeithil | I sing of a night in Bethlehem |
| Beidh tagairt ar ghréin go brách | A night as bright as dawn |
| Don oíche úd i mBeithil | I sing of that night in Bethlehem |
| Gur tháinig an Briathar slán | The night the Word was born |
| Tá gríosghrua ar spéartha | The skies are glowing gaily |
| 's an talamh 'na chlúdach bán | The earth in white is dressed |
| Féach Íosagán sa chléibhín | See Jesus in the cradle |
| 's an Mhaighdean 'Á dhiúl le grá | Drink deep in His mother's breast |
| Ar leacain lom an tsléibhe | And there on a lonely hillside |
| Go nglacann na haoirí scóth | The shepherds bow down in fear |
| Nuair in oscailt ghil na spéire | When the heavens open brightly |
| Tá teachtaire Dé ar fáil | And God's message rings out so clear |
| Céad glóir anois don Athair | Glory now to the Father |
| Sa bhFlaitheasa thuas go hard! | In all the heavens high! |
| Is feasta fós ar talamh | And peace to His friends on earth below |
| D'fheara dea-mhéin' siocháin! | As all the angels cry! |
