1.
Where western seas keep watch and pray
By David’s valleyed shrine,
We gather on the pilgrim path
To seek the heart divine.

2.
From Ireland’s shores of wind and wave,
Where Patrick climbed the height,
We come with Brigid’s living flame
To walk in Christ’s pure light.

3.
From Cymru’s cliffs where breakers sound
And David’s counsel stays,
We bring the strength of quiet hearts
Formed through his steadfast ways.

4.
From Scotland’s isles and heathered moors,
Where Andrew’s cross stands true,
We come with Columba’s roaming grace
To learn what Christ would do.

5.
The pilgrim paths of sea‑bound lands
Converge in peace today;
Three nations shaped by tide and stone
Are bound in Christ to pray.

6.
O Spirit, wind upon the deep,
Breathe courage on each one
Who shepherds now these Celtic flocks
In service to Your Son.

7.
Then send us from these western walls
With hearts made strong and free,
That Ireland, Wales, and Scotland bear
Your hope from sea to sea.
