AIR A THURUS GU lORDAN.
XXIV.
Ach riamh tre chreidimh ghluaiseadh leis,
Gii seasmhach, snaimhneach, dian :
Gu faicilleach, neo-bhruaidleanach
'S gach smnain, is guth, is gnìomh.
Gu h-uaigneach, is gu foUaiseach,
Bha chomunn-san ri Dia ;
B' e gràdh is tlachd a phobuill e
'S b' iad slaugh a chomuinn riamh.
XXV.
Cha d' leig a riamh à 'shealladh e,
Gu 'm b' choigreach is fear-cuairt,
Mar 'aithrichibh — air thalamh e,
'S gu 'n robh a dhachaidh shuas ;
A là gu 'n robh a' teireachduin,
'S a' giorrachadh gach uair ;
'S gu 'm buineadh dha bhi 'g ulluchadh
Air son a dhachaidh bhuain.
XXVI.
Ged thugadh làithean lìanmhor' dha
— Cùig-fìchead bliadhn', ach cùig —
Eè fad nan là 's nam bliadhn ud,
Cha d'fhàihiich riamh a threòir.
Is mar bha àm an dealachaidh,
A' tarruing faisg 'n a chòir,
Bha 'n t-anam, teann, ag abuchadh,
'S fo f hadachd, gu bhi 'n glòir.
XXVII.
'S e 'n Tighearn chuir an comain air,
O choinnich ris e 'n tùs ;
A chum a riamh gach comas ris,
'S gu fallain ghlèidh a chliù ;
A chum gu slàn a sholus ris,
Mar choinneil dhealraich ùr :
'S aig àm toirt suas na h-anail leis
Bu choinneal sud gun smùid.
