HYMN OF THE PROCESSION
Valiant Michael of the wliite steeds,
Who subdued the Dragon of blood,
For love of God, for pains of Mary's Son,
Spread thy wing over us, shield us all,
Spread thy wing over us, shield us all.
Mary beloved ! Mother of the White Lamb,
Shield, oh shield us, pure Virgin of nobleness.
And Bride the beauteous, shepherdess of the flocks.
Safeguard thou our cattle, surround us together.
Safeguard thou our cattle, surround us together.
And Columba, beneficent, benign.
In name of Father, and of Son, and of Spirit Holy,
Through the Three-in-One, through the Trinity,
Encompass thou ourselves, shield our procession.
Encompass thou ourselves, shield our procession.
O Father ! O Son ! O Spirit Holy !
Be the Triune with us day and night.
On the machair plain or on the mountain ridge
Be the Triune with us and His arm around our head,
Be the Triune with us and His arm around our head.
Babra Fishermen —
O Father ! O Son ! O Spirit Holy !
Be thou, Three-One, with us day and night,
And on the back of the wave as on the mountain side
Our Mother shall be with us with her arm under our head.
And on the back of the wave as on the mountain side
Our Mother shall be with us with her arm under our head.
