Father in Heaven, God bless us
Father in Heaven, God bless me
my soul, my heart, my glory
praise be to you, oh God.
Long is the peaceful day
Long is the night without gloom,
wonder, joy, love,
praise be to you, oh God.
I praise you from day to day
I praise you night after night
Father in Heaven, God bless us
Father in Heaven, God bless me
the moon, the sun, the wind,
praise be to you, oh God.

HI Renae, I love the Gailic song! Im going to attempt to learn it for church!!
And thank you for your prayers too!Put a pic. of us on your fridge and remember to pray for us everyday!
Am I supposed to see anything in thr clouds? 'Cause I see an angel!! Love It!

Yes, it is a cloud formation photo taken....I think down in Mass. U.S.?...
It does look like an angel. I have quite a few photo's of Angelic clouds. The song is sung in Irish Gaelic, of course by Enya. It is called "Heavenly Father"..Athair Ar Neamh .A literal translation of "Dia linn" is "God be with us".
I will re-post this blog to include the lyric's in Gaelic......

Sorry, I can't seem to put the Gaelic lyrics up without running out of room....


Athair ar Neamh. Dia linn
Athair ar Neamh. Dia liom
m'anam, mo chroí, mo ghlóir
moladh duit, a Dhia.

Fada an la, go sámh
Fada an oíche', gan ghruaim,
aoibhneas, áthas, grá,
moladh duit, a Dhia.

Móraim thú, ó lá go lá,
Móraim thú, ó oích' go hoích'

Athair ar Neamh. Dia linn,
Athair ar Neamh. Dia liom,
an ghealach, an ghrian, an ghaoth,
moladh duit, a Dhia.
