It was written by Australian Roman Catholic priest, folk-composer and liturgist, Frank Andersen MSC.
The song was originally published in the "Everything I Possess" collection, which was later renamed Galilee Song.

The tune was written by Fr Andersen: it is in a major key (D in the original printing), with a 3/4 time signature. The first few notes are F A G. It starts with a chorus, which is repeated between the verses.
