So beautiful and it is a joy to know that the hill which was the inspiration for this piece became Creggan Estate and my home in Derry N. Ireland.

This hymn loved and remembered from my early school days has been on my mind for the last two days. I am nearing 87 and wonder if this is a message from my beloved family who will be waiting for me. Is this my time?

I learnt this song in Lower Primary School when the Reverend would come to our school on Fridays mid morning. We would assemble and he would sing it before preaching the word of God. It moved me then but more when I surrendered my life to Jesus when I was in High School. Tears flooded my eyes. It has a deeper meaning to me. How could the innocent die for the guilty because of love? How could love kill so violently? My human mind cannot comprehend it. Thank You Jesus for redeeming my soul.

When I was 5 years old, my three sisters joined the British Sandford Scool as boarders. The St. Matthews Anglican Church was few minute walk where we went every Sunday. Around Christmas and Easter all the hymns appropriate for that time was sung at Church as well in the evenings around the piano ad the headmistress, Mrs. Sandford played, while we children sung around her before going to bed. My memories of "There is a green far away" and many others ate from that time on. I am 71 years old now! I went later to boarding Christian School in England and where these old hymns were sung by us girls.

Wow! It has been long during my olevel school days when I listen and sang this song. Today I came across this song during Holy mass service as one of the Lenten season songs in Catholic Church. It was superb for me, I love the song that's why browse it tonight.
