The Rock of Rocks
Translated by Alexander Carmichael (1900) · From Carmina Gadelica, vol. I (1900): Invocations
On the Rock of rocks,
The peace of Peter and Paul,
Of James and John the beloved,
And of the pure perfect Virgin,
The pure perfect Virgin.
The peace of the Father of joy,
The peace of the Christ of pasch,
The peace of the Spirit of grace,
To ourselves and to our children,
Ourselves and our children.
