| New Lyrics | Original Lyrics |
| The word made flesh among men appearing Into a stable crude He was born The king of all yet sacrificing heaven For love of me He died upon a tree |
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. |
| The lord of all appearing as a baby To Mary born just like you and me He came to save all men for we are sinners And yet we took and nailed Him to a tree |
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so. |
| One day He'll come, a warrior for his people Into the sky with angels all around All men shall kneel before the Lord of Glory Upon the day, that final trumpet shall sound |
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying And I am dead, as dead I well may be You'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me. |
| My lord will come with thousand, million angels A mighty warrior, King of all there is The mighty God, the Prince of Peace, Messiah, Yet in his hands remains proof of His love |
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me. |
| I thank you, Jesus, for I know you love me Your love, forgiveness, they will never cease You'll be the King, majestic in your righteousness My Lord, my God, Messiah, Prince of Peace |
|
| My lord, my God, You're coming for your people And when you touch Your foot upon the mount You'll vanquish death, bring peace to those who sorrow Your praise we'll sing, for ages without count |
