O How Gracious, O How Kind

I learned this simple Gaelic tune (whose name I can't pronounce) from the "Irish Heartbeat" CD by Van Morrison and The Chieftains in the the song "My Match It Is Made."

music: TÁ MO CHLEAMHNAS DÉANTA (Gaelic folk tune)

1. O how gracious, O how kind

Freely You lavish mercy on us

We would be foolish, we would be blind

Never to sing, never to thank You.

  

2. O how perfect is the love

Freely You offer in Your Son

We would be foolish, we would be blind

Never to sing, never to thank You.

3. Alleluia! Allelu!

Praise to the Father, the Spirit, the Son

Great is Your mercy, grateful our song

Ever we sing, ever we thank You.

4. La, la, la, la… Ever we sing, ever we thank You.
