Deus meus adiuva me
Tabhair dom do shearc,a Mhic ghil Dé
Tabhair dom do shearc,a Mhic ghil Dé
Deus meus adiuva me.

Domine da quod peto a te,
Tabhair dom go dian a ghrian ghlan ghlé,
Tabhair dom go dian a ghrian ghlan ghlé,
Domine da quod peto a te.

Domine, Domine, exaudi me,
M'anam bheith lán de d'ghrá, a Dhé,
M'anam bheith lán de d'ghrá, a Dhé,
Domine, Domine exaudi me.

Created by anonymous authors in an Irish monastic setting, somewhere between the 8th and 12th centuries, this song is unusual in the way it mixes Gaelic and Latin.

Traditionally, vernacular and church music were separate, but this song combines strands of both musical traditions. It is a song of praise, beseeching the light and love of God, but it is also a song full of tension, between the praise of God and the rage and grief of mourners.

The way in which this song reflects the chasm between our highest possibilities and the losses we endure brings to mind a quote from Kahlil Gibran:

".. you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy."
