Copyright issue

I've decided to resolve the copyright issue to my arrangement of this by completely writing my own second verse. In the process I wrote my own first verse and altered the third verse so it wouldn't contrast so much with the first two. The reason for the re-write of the second verse is so that female singers won't feel uncomfortable singing it (i.e. "I Thy true son"), and to make it seem more suited for more denominations (it seemed a little Catholic to start, but that makes sense as it was Irish). The reason for the change of the first verse is to remove some of the feelings a certain line gave me (it could be taken multiple ways, and I don't think all of those ways were good: "Naught be all else to me", although poetically speaking, I'm sure they were good still). Anyway, I'll fix the links as soon as I finish here. Shoreu 13:10, 27 July 2007 (PDT)
