CÉAD MÍLE FÁILTE ROMHAT A ÍOSA is an especially charming version of one of Ireland's treasury of religious songs, handed down to modern times by oral tradition.

It is generally sung as a Christmas carol but also serves as a beautiful hymn for the reception of Holy Communion at any time of the year.

The recording, from the CD 'Faith of Our Fathers' (http://www.ignatius.com/Products/FOFR...) originally released in the early 1990s, is beautifully sung by the RTÉ Cór na nÓg to an arrangement by Dubliner John Drummond.

'Cór na nÓg' is a choir for children maintained by RTÉ, Ireland's admirable national broadcasting authority: http://www.rte.ie/orchestras/cornanog...

This version in Welsh may be sung to the traditional Irish melody. To make it so meant writing a translation to fit the music. For that reason it is not nearly as literal as the not-for-singing version in English.
