"Christ Be Beside Me" is a Catholic hymn that reworks the prayer known as 'St. Patrick's Breastplate'. The lyrics were written by Fr. James Quinn, a Scottish priest who saw his hymn writing as an extension of his commitment to the preaching order of Jesuits. The hymn tune ‘Bunessan’ is said to have been noted down by Alexander Fraser from the singing of a wandering Highland singer and appeared in print first in Songs and Hymns of the Gael, published in 1888. Recorded live by the Sunday 7pm Choir at St. Francis de Sales Church in Ajax, ON Canada. Thanks for listening and subscribing, and God bless!
