  • Love it! An absolute favourite, sens chills down my spine everytime.

  • Nice Celtic song from around 800 AD.

  • Beautiful!  Thank you.

  • beautiful video thank u

  • If Van were part of the choir, I would attend church every week ... this song is breath-taking.

  • You should attend Mass regardless of whom is singing.. +

  • Thank you very much for this song/ it was one of my late father's favourites/ being Irish makes it more sentimental

  • veramente stupenda questa lirica uaooooo

  • Sweeet & at da same time sheer power. So typical of Morrison ...

  • I'm so glad Morrison had enough respect for the song to include the controversial "be thou my battle shield" verse. Even though there are some who sing this song better then him, he sings it from the heart and has the courage to sing the whole song, that's what makes this version amazing, oh and that he's Van Morrison that doesn't hurt either

  • TOTALLY AMAZING!!! Gives me chills!!!

  • @littlewoman744 Thank you, I think that's how I felt when I first heard Van sing this.

  • how a true irishman would sing it

  • O Dun Nan Gall mój Dun nan Gall !! Rossnowlagh

  • @nickcaveonline Thank you for commenting. I'm not Irisih and my linguistics are limited, so I'd love it if you could translate for me.

  • A favorite hymn by my favorite Van Morrison - you can't get any better than that! Thank you. Enjoyed the video and song so much.

  • Nice to see those in music industry profess their faith. Van love ys brother.

  • @buffspringfield "It doesn't matter to which god you pray. Precious time is slippin' away."

    That's his current religious view. He never subscribed to any of them.

    'No rhyme or reason, no master plan. No Nirvana, no promise land."

    Still, it's a beautiful song.

  • Thak you so much for posting this beautiful version, Van the Man is the best!!!
