I was taught this at St Benedicts School in Easterhouse Glasgow, we used to sing it on the bus going to the Celtic games & at the match, never sung better when we were beating rankers, which was all the time when i was a young bhoy, Hail Hail
i live ten k from the hill of slane, it stands out like something from a fairytale from my home, its my horizon i always can see its abbey on a beautiful sunny day, god bless st p
How good is it to be a Catholic? St. Patrick is just as valid in the Protestant faith. Happy Paddy's Day to Muslim,Jew, Christian & non believers alike. Sure everybody in the graveyard votes the same.
St, Patrick@'s blessing on all his children at home and across the seas on this his feast day. Thankyou dear saint for the greatest gift; the gift of faith.
As a Filipino-American kid from New Jersey, I got to say I love Mr. Patterson. Like PFahyful says, I think every Catholic, from whatever country he or she is from, loves Ireland and the Irish people. God bless both.
Grand song for this exile far from Clare's shore - learned this in choir - and hear it at Saint Patrick's Day parades now and then - Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Hail Glorious Saint Patrick...My Patron Saint ! I am So proud to be Catholic ! and Irish ! And scottish ! With all this going for me ...I canny go wrong!
My wife Florence has some Irish ancestry and checked out a Frank Patterson CD from our local library the other day. She just adored it and so did I. (My ancentry is German and Norweigan , although I love operas in all languages.:-) I am going to order some of his recordings from our local Barnes and Noble and give them to her for Christmas. Thank you for this posting.
A glorious song. A glorious voice. He was one of the best. I was honored to know him. A generous man, also, who knew the great gift he had, cherished it, and passed it forward. A great lesson to all.
A wonderful beautiful song! Celebrates our heritage and our Catholic faith just like pookerville said!!! Thanks for posting it! :) St. Patrick please pray for us and happy feast day!

We in the UK were not allowed to celebrate Holy Mass in our own St Patricks church due to it falling in Holy Week.A great loss.
