The talented Artist: Mr. Steve Hanks Oh, land of love and beauty To you our hearts are wed To you in lowly duty We ever bow our head Oh, perfect loving mother Your exiled children all Across the sund'ring seas to you In fond devotion call If you sigh, we hear you If you weep, we weep In your hours of gladness How our pulses leap Ireland, mother Ireland! Let what may befall Ever shall we hold you Dearest - best of all Dear isle across the ocean Dear loving land of ours May your days be sunny And your way - a way of flowers Wide though we be scattered By alien vale or hill All the love you gave to us We keep and cherish still If you sigh, we hear you If you weep, we weep In your hours of gladness How our pulses leap Ireland, mother Ireland! Let what may befall Ever shall we hold you Ever shall we hold you Dearest - dearest best of all
