River Clyde

Catholic

River Clyde (nb)

Once a hub of Irish People
Bustling, working on the Clyde
Building ships in ageing dockyards
Lost within long ravished times

And came the gentle touch of Mother
With her voice so calm and still
"Trust always  the Love of My Son"
"Look always to do his will".

Powered by Love for food and shelter
To feed displaced families
Faithful tribes of Irish workers
She called to trust with dignity

Deep within the calming waters
Comes new light which shines on man
Of a deeper profound calling
To keep the Faith and take a stand

Now with waters largely silent
Contemplation draws us near
entreating all the generations
To keep our Faith and hold it dear.

Blessed Mother ever hear us
Protect us just like those gone by
And like our fathers with their calling
Let us ne'er our faith deny.
