Gaelic Psalm : Clare Ross: Psalm 85

Psalm 85 sung to the tune "Sollas" by my sister, Clare Ross (pictured with her grandfather towards the end of the video). The tune was composed by the late Rev. Alex Muir (also pictured in the video). The song was included on the cassette "Fuaim an Dusgaidh" (The Sound of Revival) which Alex and Clare recorded on cassette in 1985. The pictures are of North Uist and especially around Malaclete, Sollas.
Bha thusa gràs-mhor fabharach,
a Dhe, do d' dhùthaich fein :
Bruid lacob thug thu air a h-ais
A ris le d' ghairdean treun.
Cionta do phobuill mhaith thu fein
dh'fholuich thu'n uile lochd.
Chaisg thu do chorruich uile, 's phill
o'n lasan a bha ort.
Pill sin a rìs, a Dhia ar slàint'
Is tog do lasan dhinn.
Am bi do chorruich ruinn gu bràth,
's an sìnear t-fhearg gach linn?
Nach deanar leatsa, Dhia nan gràs,
A rìs ar tabhairt beo ;
Gu deanadh annad gàirdeachas
Do phobull fein gach lo ?
Gu dearbh tha chobhair dlù do'n dream
d'an eagal e gu fior ;
Chum glòir a bhi 'n a comhnuidh fòs
- gu bunaiteach 'nar tir.
Tha tròcair agùs firinn ghlan
Air comhlachadh a cheil':
Tha ceartas agus siochaint mhaith
ag pògadh beul ri beul.

Is there anywhere online I can buy this. Like, is it on Itunes or Amazon? It's so beautiful.

Very beautiful song. Can't find a translation of Psalm 85 that it matches, though.

@trichoone Thanks Trichoone. Rematch in the league against Celtic in Glasgow today and hoping they fare better than they did in the cup on Wednesday night when Celtic beat them 4-1 in Edinburgh (and Hibs were leading 1-0 at Half-time.) The only way is up :-).
