I have been singing this for a long time. Originally I got it from a hymn book then Bishop Daly in my home town gave me all the details which you will find in the information top right.
beautiful,but this also has a dark history,when songs like this were made in roman times the christian followers killed many innocent pagan peoples just becaus they would'nt convert!
Not to justify those horrible acts, but still, the pagans used to kill christians as well. I do not say that that justifies the killing, but it gives some insight into the problem
Thanks Bill. This is such a lovely hymn to sing...it has great simplicity and a lovely vocal line. Ishould have the translation in a couple of days. It is mainly asking God for help.
Gratias maximas! Go raibh maith agat! God bless you:-)))
