There are a few versions of the Irish blessing. I am sharing this first, but may share another in a while.
J. E. Moore: An Irish Blessing
Mixed Choir Juventus: Valdis Tomsons Director
Howlett Smith: Alleluia
L.A. Choral Lab; Michael Alfera, Director
Arvo Pärt: Nunc dimittis
SWR Vokalensemble; Marcus Creed, Director
Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine, secundum verbum tuum in pace:
Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum
Quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum:
Lumen ad revelationem gentium, et gloriam plebis tuae Israel.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto:
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.
English translation:
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace: according to thy word.
For mine eyes have seen: thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared: before the face of all people;
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles: and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.
