Very well done! Great voice and a well written song with a bit of history.

She really has a delicious voice. Thank you for the clip.

I had clocked the thread a little while ago but wasn't in an environment conducive to listening to music.

Will have to watch when I'm at a computer that has sound. I'd love to learn this in Irish Gaelic-- although part of me always hates singing at church in other languages because they so seldom translate the words in the bulletin and I feel like something is lost. It's a common-enough hymn and they could just find it in the hymnal, but there's still that disconnect...

That's when you go to your Google machine, find the translation, print it yourself, and give it to whomever prints the bulletin. Or, go to your Google machine, find the translation, email it to the bulletin-producer, Cc it to someone else, and ask that it be put in the bulletin. Works every time.

True, but it depends on whether there's room, usually.

A very soothing voice and melody

Thanks piperdbh, I enjoyed that ... great voice but her history of the tune was a bit suspect. I think the words were originally a lorica (a shielding prayer) that was later set to music.
