The words to the Hymn “All Things Bright and Beautiful” were written by Irish woman Mrs Cecil Frances (Fanny) Alexander, and published in 1848, at the end of the Great Famine.
Her words were possibly inspired by a verse from a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”, quote: –
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
“He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.”
All Things Bright and Beautiful All things bright and beautiful.
All creatures great and small.
All things wise and wonderful.
‘Twas God that made them all.
Each little flower that opens.
Each little bird that sings.
He made their glowing colors
And made their tiny wings.
The poor man in his straw-roofed cottage,
The rich man in his lordly hall,
The old man’s voice, the child’s first whisper,
He listens, and He answers all.

I Hope You Dance
Singer: Lee Ann Womack.
Songwriters: Sanders Mark Daniel / Sillers Tia M
[The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. But in the meanwhile ……..]
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
Get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed.
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens.
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance… I hope you dance…
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance.
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances, but they’re worth takin’.
Lovin’ might be a mistake, but it’s worth makin’.
Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter.
When you come close to sellin’ out reconsider.
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance… I hope you dance.
I hope you dance… I hope you dance.
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens.
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
Dance… I hope you dance.
I hope you dance… I hope you dance.
I hope you dance… I hope you dance.

“Crazy, Crazy Baby” it’s the new single from the very talented vocalist Ms Molly O’Connell.
This Tipperary Country Singer began singing on stage as a 6 years old; winning her first Munster Final Fleadh at the tender age of 8 years and her first All-Ireland in Scór at the age of 14 years.
She has continued to wow audiences over the years, with her renditions of Country, Folk, Ballad and Traditional songs.
Molly hails from Kilcommon village in County Tipperary and developed her love of performing from her now sadly deceased father Denis, who played the button accordion and sang in a well-known band, “The Mellow Tones”.
The youngest daughter of a family of five siblings; music and song were an integral part of “The O’Connell Family “, and growing up in such a musical home enabled her to become familiar with all the songs performed by the greatest and most famous of all time Country Singers.
Releasing a single for the first time has always been a dream for this Tipperary Lady and we wish her well.
“Crazy, Crazy Baby”, which was written by Stephen Hamilton, a highly credited musician in the Country Music scene for many years, and now Molly has put her own personal unique stamp on this popular melody .
The song “Crazy, Crazy Baby”, is expected to be released this coming weekend, so do Click HERE to follow Molly’s progress.
Molly wishes to thank Jim Mcveigh @ Foxhollow Studios for recording & producing; Stephen Hamilton for writing & arranging the song, art work & duplication, and Barry Doyle & Patrick Ryan #paddysnaps for the photos.
