A hymn tune of
Irish origin. It is said to be named after the hill on which
St. Patrick disobeyed an edict of the king by lighting the
Paschal candle on Easter Sunday, before the pagan Spring Festival began.
The popular hymn "
Be Thou My Vision" (#488 in the Episcopal Hymnal 1982) is set to this tune, as is "
Lord of all hopefulness" (#482, Hymnal 1982).
