This is a lovely hymn written by David Evans in the 1980s but has a classic singable tune. I’ve never heard it before but apparently it is a favourite in many places.
The text and some biographical information are at Hymnary. The song is the basis of an extended reflection here. The sheet music can be purchased at several online sellers including sheetmusicplus.
Lots of versions in various styles:

Indeed: it’s extremely well known in Ireland and from the looks of things the UK, but virtually unknown in Aus/NZ. There’s a small group of songs like this, I’m not quite sure why – possibly because they were written in the 1980s rather than 1970s. Another is John Glynn’s “Close to You” – widely known and loved here.
Have a Good Day again..
