It was produced by Vertias Publications, and edited by the National Sub-committee for the Liturgy of the Papal Visit. The Editorial Concept is copyright 1979, Irish Episcopal Conference. The booklet has:
- Concordat cum originali: Michael Harty, Bishop of Killaloe,
- Imprimi Potest: Dermot Ryan, Archbishop of Dublin, Primate of Ireland.
It is not a hymn book, but does contain a number of hymns, psalm-settings and service-music that were used during Masses celebrated during the visit. As such it provides an insight into the material which was considered both suitable and well-enough known to be used at such public events at the time.

There is a statement on the flyleaf that "The publishers gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of the many composers whose work has been included at short notice." The information below is all that was printed.
Overall, there are 31 hymns and psalms:
- 24 in English
- 7 in Irish.

. It does not have an ISBN. Design was by Liam Miller, the symbol for the Papal Visit is credited to Bill Bolger, additional artwork is by Susan Hayes. Origination was by Cahill Printers of Dublin, and the actual printing was carried out by Richview Browne and Nolan of Dublin.
