“Brigit of the Waters (Wake Up!)” by Mael Brigde

Brigit of the Waters (Wake Up!)

Brigit in your well asleep

beneath the squeaking ice

wake up! the small white fish is leaping

the grey-dark sea is calling

the river wants to play

your tune today

"We Sing a Song to Brigid" (Alive-O)

"We Sing a Song to Brigid"***

We sing a song to Brigid,

Brigid brings the spring

Awakens all the fields and the flowers

And calls the birds to sing.

All were welcome at her door,

no one was turned away.

She loved the poor, the sick and the sore,

She helped them on their way.

She laid her cloak out on the ground

And watched it grow and grow,

In wells and streams and fields of green

St. Brigid’s blessings flow.
