The Seed is Christ’s is a beautiful, modern Irish hymn but it is in a traditional Celtic style and harkens back to years gone by.

This song is usually sung in Irish and goes by its Irish name, Ag Chriost an Siol, in Ireland, where it is very popular for wedding ceremonies.  It is often played during the communion however, as our version has no lyrics included in the music, this beautiful Irish melody is also suitable for non-religious ceremonies as well.

Lyrics in Irish Lyrics in English

Ag Críost an síol,
Ag Críost an fómhar:
In iothlann Dé
Go dtugtar sinn.
Ag Críost an mhuir,
Ag Críost an t-iasc:
I líontaibh Dé
Go gcastar sinn.

Ó fhás go haois
Is ó aois go bás,
Do dhá lámh’, a Chríost,
Anall tharainn.
O bhás go críoc
nach Críoc ac athfhás,
I bParthas na ngrás
go rabhaimid.

The seed is Christ’s,
The harvest is Christ’s:
Into God’s barn
May we be gathered.
The sea is Christ’s,
The fish is Christ’s:
In God’s nets
May we be caught.

From birth to adulthood
And from adulthood to death,
May your two hands, O Christ,
Be drawn over us.
From birth to the end
Not an end but rebirth.
In the paradise of grace
may we be.

Note: Music and Lyrics by Sean O’Riada.  Arranged for harp by Aisling Ennis.
