 Dia do bheatha-sa, a Mhuire; fada tá do tharngaire tú do thocht dar mbéin a braid san bhféil a-nocht im Nodlaig. Oidhche Nodlag naomhtha an ghein do rugadhtú a rí an ríchidh, a rí an bheatha as Dia damh-sa; dia beatha mo bhráthar-sa. Dia beatha mic do mháthar fhóireas cách ón gcrónbhátadh; rí an bheatha go mbí ar do thoil dia a bheatha i gclí dar gcabhair. Dia do bheatha ós dá reic ruibh i ngeall red bhreith do bhábhair id dhia, id dhuine, a chnú cridhe, i mbrú Muire Maighdine. Dia a bheatha i mBeithil dá bhreith do rug ar n-omhain d'aoinleith, do-ní díon gach duine dhí; ar Mhuire bíodh a bhuidhe. Dia.
