A great traditional religious song beautifully sung with lovely images - all so relevant in a bleak time. Some Catholic bishops in Ireland have, like some members of the French World Cup squad, become unfit for purpose because they only want to look after themselves. They want to be princes but they are paupers. The church (people, priests, bishops) needs to put Christ at the centre of things like Saint Patrick did. Singing this song at Mass on Sunday will help. Maith thú - well done!

Lovely rendering...I remember hearing the late Frank Paterson sing it. I never met him personally but I met Father Sean Cumey who was Frank's wife's cousin. Father Cumey had been a priest at St. Anthony's in Govan (Glasgow) and he knew the priest (Father Collins ) who married my grandparents and who baptized my father in March 17 1915
waow! well done, thats a lovely tune! I've been asked to play it at a wedding, do you know where i could get the score for it? The seoltamusic site doesnt work on my computer. :(
Thank you. I sang this a couple of hours ago at a wedding in the oldest church in Derry -- St. Columba's Church, Long Tower in the centre of the city.
Beautiful! I am hoping to use it in my harvest assembly in the Autumn and I have been looking for a version to show the choir.They are used to singing in welsh but not Gaelic!! Thank you. We also had this sung at our wedding 13 years ago so it bought back lots of special memories.
Thanks maureen for the rendition, this will come in handy as i have to sing it at a wedding on May 1st. I have not sung it since i was about 16. You have given me some ideas. Cheers!

@muisire Yes a beautiful hymn. I sing it often at weddings, funerals and Mass on a Sunday.

Gorgeous once again...I first heard Frank Paterson sing this and fell in love with it. I think he sang it for his Holiness the Pope John Paul II also.
