I nGairdín Pharthais bhí an Paidrín Páirteach
Ag moladh na mná a bhí ariamh gan locht,
A Aonmhac Muire is a Rí na nGrásta,
Go dtuga tú na grásta dhá[1]
n-anam bocht.
(Treis) agus cairde tabhair gach lá dhúinn,
Sacraiméad na haithrí agus go neartaí Dia linn,
Agus cuirim coimrí a n-anama ort, a Mhuire Bhantiarna.
A Mhuire Mháthair mhórmhar mhaiseach,
Tú an stór, an lón is an taisce,
Is tú an réalt eolais romhainn ins gach bealach,
I ngleann na ndeor, ó, treoraigh an peacach,
I sliabh na mbrón, fóir ar a n-anam.
Mar is peacachaí muide atá ag tarraingt gach lá ar bhás,
Agus cuirim coimrí a n-anama ort, a Athair Mhic Dé na nGrást,
Ná tabhair breith dhamanta ar a n-anam ar uair a mbáis. Áiméan.
