Deus meus adiuva me


Deus meus adiuva me
Tabhair dom do shearc a mhic dhil de
Tabhair dom do shearc a mhic dhil de
Deus meus adiuva me

Tuum amorem sicut vis
Tabhair dom go trean a dearfad aris
Tabhair dom go trean a dearfad aris
Tuum amorem sicut vis

Domine, domine, exaudi me
M'anam bheigh lan ded ghra a dhe
M'anam bheigh lan ded ghra a dhe
Domine, domine, exaudi me.

I have been singing this for a long time. Originally I got it from a hymn book then Bishop Daly in my home town gave me all the details which you will find in the information top right.
