Let the Light Shine On

1.

Let the light shine on,
Let the light shine on,
It is darkest just before the dawn,
Let it shine,
Let the light shine on.

2.

Ireland will be free,
Ireland will be free,
Ireland will again united be,
Let it shine,
Let the light shine on.

3.

For the struggle goes on,
For the struggle goes on,
In the name of many thousands gone
Let it shine,
Let the light shine on.

4.

Let the light shine on,
Let the light shine on,
For the generations yet unborn
Let it shine,
Let the light shine on.

Let it shine,
Let the light shine on,
Freedom light shine on.
