Mass Rock in the Glen
In a lonely mountain valley In the county of Tyrone Lies one of Ireland's hallowed spots Deserted and unknown But few who write historic tales Or wield the poet's pen Can say with pride - I knelt beside The Mass Rock in the glen
I'm proud that I am mountain bred this is my native place These mountain glens have always been the stronghold of our race 'Twas here our fathers earned the right to bear the name of men When they kept the faith for Ireland by the mass rock in the glen
Our priests like wolves were hunted down O God 'twas surely hard That from the right to worship Thee Thy children were debarred But still they proudly bore Thy cross Those simple mountain men Were proud to share Thy Calvary By the Mass Rock in the glen

God Bless the glens of Ireland Every rock and mountain pass 'twas those game glens that under God Preserved for us, the Mass And if the day should come again When Ireland calls for men She will not find them wanting By the Mass Rock in the glen
God bless the glens of Ireland and the Mass rock in the glen.
