Yes, indeedy, it was! Kat, the first line got eaten up by the leader, but here is the rest. I vote that we officially give it your posted name for it, to make life easier.

BY THE STILL WATERS

-------------------------------(?)
Nails all torn, from toil and care
Who kept the gar-den, the house and the yard
Touched my cheek, and smoothed my hair

Bless-ed be, the onset of peace
Bless-ed the voices, the songs they sung
Blessed are their arms and their hands and their knees
All who loved us, when we were young

The Lord's my shep-herd, I'll not want
By the still waters, I walk with my own
Waters so still and the pasture so green
Goodness and mer-cy, following me

On second thought, considering the context that he was speaking of prior to singing this, perhaps the title should be "When we were young" Loverly singing Kat, i'll be sending ye a wee message. Look for it. Everyone else, the tune is really similar to "Faith of our fathers"
