Lyrics
Oidhche Mhath / Good Night
Mourners grieve for those who are asleep
They fear they have to grieve like all the rest
Those who rest in peace will not sleep for long
Oidhche mhath
He will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep
Those of us who are left we will not preceed
He will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep
Those of us who are left we will not preceed
So until that day
Why don't we just say
Oidhche mhath
He Himself will come down with a loud command
And the dead in Christ will be the first to rise
He Himself will come down with a loud command
And the dead in Christ will be the first to rise
So even though we grieve
Encourage us to see
The light is all we need to find our way
As for the ones we've lost
They will not sleep for long
We know one day that we will see them again
