"[St. Patrick.] This is in Easy Hymns, c. 1853, No. 14, marked as by Sister Agnes, of the Convent of Charleville, Co. Cork. Repeated in Tozer's Catholic Hymns, 1898, and many others. In the Arundel Hymns, 1902, No. 221, it is rewritten, with the loss of the original naivete." —"Hail, glorious Saint Patrick, dear Saint of our isle," by James Mearns in A Dictionary of Hymnology, (ed.) by John Julian (1892)
