Thanks everyone - you're all ever so kind! I'm really glad you enjoyed the song - I find it really beautiful, so I thought I'd share it here. I'm glad you think I've done it justice, too - that's the cherry on top of the cake!
Ed: the hymns of the 18th and 19th century are, I find, really, really, really beautiful. Do you know "Lead, Kindly Light"? It's a Catholic hymn, written by Cardinal Newman, I believe - and it's really one of my favourites. I'd love it if you did a version of it ... if not, I may try one myself for my next project? :-)
Hans: I remember being terrified of the lyrics as a child, haha. No sleeping soundly after THIS! haha ... but, as I grew up, I got to love the song :-)
Belladonna: yes, it's a really beautiful song, with stunning lyrics!!! :-)
Stefan: I think I WILL sing more often from now on, if I at all can - it's you people's "fault" for encouraging me, though ;-) Only kidding - thank you so much for such wonderful words!
