@@mikelawrence4917 , Alost any person is worthy of this beautiful funeral lament. Probably written by Father Michael Sheehan (Micheál Ó Siocháin) of Waterford, in 1916. I played it for my granny's funeral on the violin back in the 80's when I was barely a teen ☺ This man is an incredible singer as it is incredibly hard to sing! Here are the words: Gaelic: Ag Críost an síol, ag Críost an fómhar; i n-iothlainn Dé go dtugtar sinn. Ag Críost an mhuir, ag Críost an t-iasc; i líonta Dé go gcastar sinn.
Ó fhás go h-aois, is ó aois go bás, do dhá láimh, a Chríost, anall tharainn. Ó bhás go críoch, ní críoch ach athfhás, i bParthas na ngrás go rabhaimid. English translation Christ's is the seed, Christ's is the crop, in the barn of God may we be brought. Christ's is the sea, Christ's is the fish, in the nets of God may we be caught.
From growth to age, from age to death, Thy two arms, O Christ, about us. From death to end, not end but growth, in blessed Paradise may we be ✌
I love them, Cór Cúl Aodha.
Just perfect. What a voice.
Go h-iontach. Bhí an cór mar réalt an seó, sé mo thuaraim.
They couldn’t have chosen a better choir, absolutely fantastic and fitting for this very special occasion, Shane would’ve loved it 🎶
What an honour for Shane, real validation for his contribution to the story of the Irish Exile.
I'd love this sang at my funeral but I fear I'm not worthy.

Christ's is the sea, Christ's is the fish,

@@TheHobade thanks so much for your reply and interesting information. It does sound like it's a hard song to sing if you think about it.
My god can he hold a voice.
