About This Site:This is a blog by Mark Thompson (Chairman of the Ulster-Scots Agency June 05 - June 09) to publish a growing collection of old Scots language hymns and gospel songs collected over the last few years from people in Ulster and Scotland, some from old hymnals long since out of print, and some from oral folk tradition. Where musical notation was supplied, it has been included here; spellings are unedited from the originals. The blog is named after the 1920s Glasgow hymnal Sacred Scotch Solos by Alexander Halliday.

Posted byMark Thompsonat15:37 Thursday, 9 December 2010 The Lasting HamePublished in "The Songs and Hymns of the Scottish Highlands" by Lachlan MacBean (Edinburgh, Inverness, Glasgow and Oban, 1888)
A translation of a Scottish Gaelic hymn originally written by Rev Peter Grant, translated into Scots by MacBean.
Tune is a Gaelic Air. Musical notation available here.

In this puir warl', fu' o' sin an' shame,
Where death an' change can ilk moment claim,
Where frien's are ever frae frien's dividin'
Tae gang an' bide in the Lasting Hame.

Baith young an' auld tae the grave are ta'en
Baith weak an' bauld death will mak' his ain
In health or sickness, in peace or anger,
They can nae langer on earth remain.

A solemn warnin' is this tae a'
That I maun never pit far awa'
But aye be ready, for this is tellin'
The earthly dwellin' is sune tae fa'.

But if we ken the sweet joyfu' soun'
An' ha'e our treasure in Jesus foun'
An' tread the pathway o' truth an' blessin'
Still forward pressin', tae Zion boun'.

In ilka trial we ha'e tae bear
We'll nestle near Him, there's shelter there,
For if we trust Him, whate'er betide us,
He'll save an' guide us for ever mair.

His frien's on earth He will ne'er disclaim,
But bring wi' joy a' that lo'e His name
Frae His dear presence nae mair tae sever
But share for ever His Lasting Hame.Posted byMark Thompsonat01:27Labels:Scots Language Thursday, 23 April 2009 Church of Scotland usin twa o the sangsI am deeply honoured that the Church of Scotland's Scots Language in Worship Group have made great use of this blog by selecting two pieces for their own use:

Dark Afore Dawnin by Etta Gracey Stoee was chosen to be included in their Advent 2008 programme, with the language reworked to suit the tune The Road and the Miles to Dundee ( Original | CoS version )

Linkin Hame by Alexander Halliday was chosen for their Easter Holy Week 2009 programme, edited for congregational singing. ( Original | CoS version )

It's very rewarding to know that a wee bit of Ulster effort can be of benefit to the folks back in Scotland.
