Más 'naith atháimíd indiu, gur a slacht fearr a beimíd bliain ó indiu, i gcuid is i gcabhair, i ngreann Dé is ná gComharsan. Dhia tairbheach na trócaire, na glóire, le na síothchána, do Cheannuig sinn, do Ghruthnaig sinn, do thug dúinn láthair sásaimh corpordha, go raibh ár n-anama beannuithe ar uair ár mBáis.
