Now, that's an interesting theme! Is the one with the lake in front at Dunlewey, Co. Donegal?

I guess I must have missed this the first time around. :-)<br /><br /><a href="http://nethymnal.org/bio/k/e/l/kelly_t.htm" rel="nofollow">Thomas Kelly</a> was a prolific Irish hymn writer, some of which are still familiar to many today, such as "<a href="http://nethymnal.org/htm/p/r/praisets.htm" rel="nofollow">Praise the Savior, Ye Who Know Him</a>" and "<a href="http://nethymnal.org/htm/l/y/lyesaint.htm" rel="nofollow">Look, Ye Saints! the Sight is Glorious</a>."<br /><br />Also, William Fullerton, author of "The Savior of the World" (also known as "I Cannot Tell"), was Irish-born and strongly influenced by Charles Haddon Spurgeon.Matthewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-68749952187190861972011-03-15T01:51:27.301-04:002011-03-15T01:51:27.301-04:00Another great post.

The hymns I have sung before are: All Things Bright And Beautiful, Jesus Calls Us, Once In Royal David's City (this one is my favorite) The rest I had never heard before. The church doors I found most striking were the ones just about the post on Once In Royal David's City. Thanks again for the time you spent posting these. I enjoyed it very much and look forward to the rest of your post for St. Patrick's Day. - MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
