Jim: This is not really an Enya song. The lyrics as written here are hers, but the song is originally a gospel tune. Enya created her own secular lyrics for it. I like her performance but prefer the Jean Redpath performance here for two reasons. One, we can see her perform the song. I don’t like posting pauses that just show images. Two, this was the performance in which I first heard the song.

The song as sung here is a cover from Enya.

It was on her Shepard Moons album and IMHO is better. The Celtic beat serves the song better but
then again I am a huge Enya fan so my opinion might be a little slighted….:)

Here is Enya doing her song. Beautiful.
