    John Ireland (1879-1962) was a British composer, organist and teacher in the early and mid 20th century. Apart from a few compositions for the organ, Ireland’s main contributions to church music are his anthem “Greater love hath no man” and the wonderful tune we sing today to the hymn “My song is love unknown”.

    Crux fidelis, inter omnes arbor una nobilis: nulla silva talem profert, fronde, flore, germine. Dulce lignum, dulces clavos, dulce pondus sustinet.
    Faithful cross, above all other, One and only noble tree: None in foliage, none in blossom, None in fruit thy peer may be. Sweetest wood and sweetest iron, Sweetest weight is hung on thee!
