Charted at #1 on UK Singles chart in October 1953. The BBC put out a partial ban on this recording because of the religious theme in the lyrics. It was considered inappropriate at the time to make religious references in a pop song. As a result, David re-recorded this song as "Answer Me, My Love", hence the title on the sheet music in the photo. You can find that version posted on YouTube by another user. Both versions of the song were also recorded by Frankie Laine at the time, and in 1954, "Answer Me, My Love" became a big US hit for Nat King Cole.
