The Celtic Bodhrán is a traditional Celtic drum played with a wooden mallet that is commonly used in Irish music--especially traditional Celtic songs. It's distinct, tuned-percussive sound has been a favorite choice for Irish composers and performers alike.
Although not traditional, the Irish Bouzouki has found a home in the modern Irish traditional music scene. The Greek bouzouki was introduced to Irish traditional music in the late 1960s by Johnny Moynihan and then popularized by Donal Lunny, Andy Irvine, and Alec Finn. Today's Irish bouzouki (usually) has four courses of two strings (usually) tuned G2D3A3D4. The bass courses are most often tuned in unisons, one feature that distinguishes the Irish bouzouki from its Greek antecedent, although octaves in the bass are favored by some players.
BE THOU MY VISION

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;

Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
A B A B
Thou my best thought, by day or by night;
C#m G#m A B7 E
Walking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word.
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord.
Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise;
Thou mine inheritance, now and always.
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art.
High King of heaven, my victory won;
May I reach heaven’s joy’s, O bright heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
