Let me carry your cross for Ireland Lord
The hour of her trial draws near
and the pangs and the pain of her sacrifice
may be borne by comrades dear
But Lord take me from the offering throng
There are many far less prepared
though anxious and all as they are to die
that Ireland might be spared
Let me carry your cross for Ireland Lord
my cares in this world are few
and few are the tears that will for me fall
when i go on my way to you
for the empty homes of our golden plains
for the hopes of our children too
Let me carry your cross for Ireland Lord
for the cause of Roisin Dubh
