Bí, A Íosa, Im Chroí-Se

Be, o Jesus, in my heart, And each hour, be recalled.
Be, o Jesus, in my heart, For repentance when I fall.
Be, o Jesus, in my heart, Be my companion constantly;
So, o Jesus, faithful God, Oh never, never part from me.

Without Jesus, all my thoughts Are unpleasant ones for me.
Without Jesus, all I write Dies in my mouth silently.
Without Jesus, all I do Does nothing good in life, I find.
So, o Jesus, faithful God, Go both before me and behind.

He is Jesus, my dear King, My beloved and my friend.
He is Jesus, my defense; Sin and death -- He makes them end.
He is Jesus, my delight, Mirror to show me my true face.
So, o Jesus, faithful God, Oh never leave me; I need grace.

Be, o Jesus, evermore In my mouth and in my heart.
Be, o Jesus, evermore Also in my mind and thought.
Be, o Jesus, evermore In all I learn and all I'm shown.
So, o Jesus, faithful God, Oh do not leave me here alone.

Bí, a Íosa, im' chroídh-se i gcuimhne gach uair,
Bí, a Íosa, im' chroídh-se le h-aithrighe go luath,
Bí, a Íosa, im' chroídh-se le cumann go buan,
ó, a Íosa, 'Dhé dhílis, ná sgar, Thusa, uaim. 

Gan Íosa mo smuainte ní thaithnigheann liom féin,
Gan Íosa mo sgríbhinn, no foghar mo bhéil;
Gan Íosa mo ghníomha ní maith in san tsaoghal,
ó, a Íosa, 'Dhé dhílis, bí romham is am dhéidh.

'Sé Íosa mo Rí-se, mo Chara is mo ghrádh;
'Sé Íosa mo dhídean ar pheacaidh is ar bhás,
'Sé Íosa mo aoibhneas, mo sgáthán do ghnáth,
A's, a Íosa, 'Dhé dhilis, ná sgar uaim go bráth.

Bí, a Íosa, go síorraídhe im' chroídh-se is im' bhéal,
Bí, a Íosa, go síorraídhe im' thuigse mar an gcéadn',
Bí, a Íosa, go síorraídhe im' mheabhair mar léigheann,
ó, a Íosa, 'Dhé dhílis, ná fág mé liom féin.
