I would never have thought it possible.Paddy was with us in Syke near Bremen.A friendly musician, with whom you could talk very nice and who showed his skills on stage a super musician.My wife died of cancer in 2014 and every time I hear the beginning of this melody, the slow part, I have to cry. This music goes deep with me, and hits my feelings. Greetings to Paddy and his great music. ... and I like to cry to this music.

[@SmcdMcd-d2k]

Greetings from a Swede who lived in Ireland in the 90s (Dublin), when people still visited the churches, and I remember hearing this heavenly hymn from the 6th or 8th century.

I’m from New York. This was a well used hymn ! I am Protestant affiliated with American Baptist church for reference. In my younger years I used to snooze at the organ playing stodgy hymns . Now , this rendition makes me feel comforted and spicy!
