The Guiding Light of Eternity
Translated by Alexander Carmichael (1900) · From Carmina Gadelica, vol. I (1900): Invocations
O god, who broughtst me from the rest of last night
Unto the joyous light of this day,
Be Thou bringing me from the new light of this day
Unto the guiding light of eternity.
Oh! from the new light of this day
Unto the guiding light of eternity.
