A Song For A Sunday

Go Rest High On That Mountain.

Lyrics and Vocals: American singer, songwriter, and musician Vincent Grant Gill.

Go Rest High On That Mountain.

I know your life,
On earth was troubled,
And only you could know the pain.
You weren’t afraid to face the devil,
You were no stranger to the rain.
Go rest high on that mountain,
Son your work on earth is done.
Go to heaven a-shoutin’,
Love for the Father and the Son.
Oh, how we cried the day you left us,
Gathered ’round your grave to grieve.
Wish I could see the angels faces,
When they hear your sweet voice sing.
Go rest high on that mountain,
Son your work on earth is done,
Go to heaven a-shoutin’,
Love for the Father and the Son.
Go rest high on that mountain,
Son your work on earth is done.
Go to heaven a-shoutin’,
Love for the Father and the Son.
Go to heaven a-shoutin’,
Love for the Father and the Son.

END.

Irish Summer Time Begins Tomorrow Morning.

Clocks go forward tonight, with Irish Summer Time beginning tomorrow morning, Sunday March 30th, at 1:00am. This change will mean longer, lighter evenings from the start of next week.

This practice of advancing clocks is to make better use of the longer daylight available during our summer season, so that darkness falls at a later clock time.

Most of our smartphones, tablets, laptops and PC’s will automatically update.

Since April 2021, the European Parliament, of which Ireland is a member, voted by 410 to 192 in favour of ending this seasonal practice of moving clocks forward by an hour in springtime, and then back again in the autumn. This decision is expected to form the basis of further discussions within EU countries before taking a final stance on the matter.

The British government has already indicated that having left the European Union, it will stick to the current practice/system of switching clocks.
Sir Winston Churchill once stated that the switching of clocks enlarged opportunities for the ‘pursuit of health and happiness’, among the millions of people who reside in England, however, it should be remembered that the practice of changing clocks was first introduced in 1916 to save energy costs during World War I.
