A musical arrangement by Niall Markey:

“This is my own arrangement of a traditional piece of Irish liturgical music. it was originally written as a poem by Fr. Micheál Ó Síocháin in 1916, and was later set to music by Seán Ó Riada in 1968.

I dedicate this beautiful piece of music in loving memory of my late and beautiful friend, Fr. Lúcás Chan, SJ (06/07/1968 – 05/19/2015)” 

Listen to the arrangement here:
