    My father passed away on June 27, 2023 and when the funeral services started packing up their speakers, this was one of the hymns that i had downloaded and played on my portable speakers to fill the empty void as his coffin was placed into the hearse.
    Later on June 29, 2023 as his coffin was preparing to enter the cremation chamber, from the viewing gallery, I took out my mp3 player and played this hymn through my portable speakers and just as the hymn ended, his coffin was slowly moved by the machine into the creation chamber.
    I cannot say how this hymn kept me in check as much as i wanted to cry my eyes out, i had to maintain a strong front for my family as the only child and for my mother and extended families.
    God bless you papa, we love and miss you.

      Qué él Gran Dios , perdone a Inglaterra , por haber sido el mayor genocida de la tierra . El mayor traficante de esclavos de África , el país pirata de todos los mares del planeta , por regalar mantas infectadas de viruela a los indígenas . Sí , un país cómo Inglaterra , no puede sentirse orgulloso de su pasado . Pero tampoco del presente ¿ O no son Anglosajones , los responsables de los asesinatos de niños indígenas de una escuela de Canadá ? Sí , el pasado vergonzoso inglés , tiene que pasar perdón , por haber sembrado de cadáveres todos los continentes .... Cuánto terror y angustia. Qué poca vergüenza .!!!

    This hymn was chosen at my beautiful Daughter's first wedding. The words relate the Perfect and beautiful Perfect Love of God which awaits us, and these words are magnified in the words "glory in Thy Perfect Love". What true and beautiful words!
    She is in Australia with her two beautiful grown up children. Lord I did "seek first the Kingdom of God". Please Lord and our Mother of Heaven please look after them, love and protect them and eternally, help them and keep them in Your miraculous Love and give them reassurance too. Please send our Heartfelt Love to them too and please protect them. Help me/us to really help them too.
    Thank You so much Lord and please help me to Trust You Lord and know that You will Protect them in Your Almighty Love.
    Grateful eternal thanks Lord.
    Amen Glory to God in the Highest level of Love forever. ❤❤❤💖😘😁🙏

      Michael Behan I understand. I most definitely have heard the Vienna boys choir. These people singing in this you tube look very dour; only duty bound. Remember; if we do great things, but don’t love, we’re like a sounding gong. I’m all for gusto and belting out a hymn, but only if it’s genuinely sung. It has nothing to do with being Catholic. I’m not catholic and our church belts them out with gusto and heart...

    O Christ our God, You are worshiped at all times and in all places and are glorified both in heaven and on earth. You are patient, generous in mercy, rich in compassion, loving to the just and merciful to the sinner. You call all of us to repentance through the promise of blessings to come.
    O Lord, receive our supplications at this very hour. Direct our lives in the way of Your commandments. Sanctify our souls, purify our bodies, set our minds aright, cleanse our thoughts, deliver us from all affliction, wrath, danger and need. Surround us with Your holy angels, so that, guided and guarded by their ranks, we may reach unity of the faith and the knowledge of Your unutterable glory. You are blessed unto ages of ages.

    I was raised loving some of Charles Wesley's Hymns Composition 🥰❤️🙏
    Dad was raised straight after birth by his Uncle, his mother's brother who was a METHODIST Catechist far from his island from 1934-1952, used to remind me, it is in the Inspired Classical Hymns, The Holy Spirit inspired Holy Sanctified Men & Women to write & compose these Divine Inspired Classical Hymns, and in Singing or listening to them, You meet God while singing it inductively & meditatingly🙏.
    While Growing up as a tiny toddler, my Dad played only The Westminster Abbey Choir from England & King's College Choir till at 10 years old than included Centenary Methodist Church Choir of Suva Fiji, till today, though he taught me to be a Sabbath Keeper. He was the only Senior Cambridge Music Student of Queen Victoria School of Fiji from 1947-1952 where their Exam Papers are marked in England. Below are his beliefs in Classical Hymns;
    PART 1:- THE BIBLICAL FACTS OF INSPIRATION OF THE ANNOINTING OF THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS🙏🙏🙏. Dad WAS THE CHOIR CONDUCTOR FOR THE FIJI SCHOOL OF MEDICINE METHODIST CHAPEL CHOIR FROM 1953-1959? WHOM the Late Dr. Manoa Masi stated that Dad taught him Music. This was verified and supported & witnessed by the renowned Methodist Reverend Sotutu in 2008 at Novotel confirming Dr. Masi's [Renowned Methodist Church in SUVA Choir CONDUCTOR] claim that Dad was his Tutor while at FSM and Dad was the only Senior Cambridge Music Student from 1948 to 1952 at QUEEN VICTORIA SCHOOL:-PART 1. By Aca TuiSamoa,
    .
    NOTE:-
    MY Father who was a Dentist & only Senior Cambridge Music & Certificate Graduate Student of Queen Victoria School of Nukuloa Ra, QVS @ Lodoni at RKS & finally at QVS @ Matavatucou till today. Dad Admonished me to Treat the DIVINE INSPIRED NATURE OF ALL PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS 🙏 WITH Respect & Honor just like I would with Holy Bible for the Primary Source of it's Composition is and always be THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO INSPIRED THE AUTHORS & COMPOSERS OF THIS CLASSICAL HYMNS. THE FOLLOWING WISDOMS TO SUBSTANTIATE THE HOLINESS OF THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS ARE AS FOLLOWINGS:-
    [1]. The HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED ALL AUTHORS OF CLASSICAL POEMS THAT WERE TURNED INTO MUSIC AS CLASSICAL HYMNALS.
    [2]. THE HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED ALL COMPOSERS OF ALL PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS.
    [3]. THUS THE LYRICS &: MELODY OR MUSIC WAS INSPIRED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, MEANING BOTH LYRICS &:MELODY/MUSIC ARE THE CREATIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, SO IT IS THE ANNOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON THESE GODLY MEN & WOMEN TO WRITE & COMPOSE EACH &:EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS 🥰❤️ 🙏.
    (a). THEREFORE, WE CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT THESE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS HYMNALS ARE HOLY AS THE HOLY BIBLE.
    (b). This is the REASON whenever one who is stressed with Life's challenges but is humble to listen or sing along will feel and experience the ANNOINTING , COMFORTING, PEACE OR SHALOM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WILL BE HEALED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S COMFORTING & HEALING MIRACLE TO THE BEHOLDER OF EACH &:EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS 🙏.
    [4]. Like The HOLY BIBLE IS INSPIRED, SO AS THESE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS &:HYMNALS ❤️🥰🙏 THUS THE ELECTRO- MAGNETIC HEALING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER'S ARE STILL ALIVE & EXISTING IN THESE CLASSICAL HYMNS. IT WILL REMAIN WITH THEM UNTIL ETERNITY. THAT IS THE KEY & SECRET TO EACH & EVERY CLASSICAL POEMS & HYMNS. THIS HEALING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER'S IN EACH EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS IS THE SOURCE OF MIRACLE TO THE BEHOLDER, SINGER CHOIR & LISTENERS. Just like it does to each individuals who prayerfully reads the HOLY BIBLE, will experience the ANNOINTING COMFORTING PEACE & Presence of The HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER'S of HEALING & inspiration to the reader's life, elevating him/her by teleporting to His Glorious Presence there on the spot or to Heaven as it does to me.
    [4] THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HOLY BIBLE & HOLY PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS IS THE FOLLOWINGS:-
    (a). The HOLY BIBLE is INSPIRED & ANNOINTED, SO YOU HAVE TO PRAY WITH A SANCTIFIED LIFE &: LIFESTYLE,
    (b). While The HOLY PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS Music & Lyrics are INSPIRED &: ANNOINTED, THUS THE SINGER & CHOIR SHOULD HAVE A SANCTIFIED LIFE & LIFESTYLE that will overflow to the Listeners & congregation singing along with the Choir. Thus it is vitally imperative to only Sing The Protestant Churche's Classical Hymns, as it is part of worship to glorify God & be blessed by it. Never allow special items based on Contemporary Gospel Songs to be played or sung by an Individual or groups for the Congregation's Worship, but use the Choir to sing only Protestant Churche's Classical Hymns & Hymnals for they are Holy & Inspired.
    [5]. SINCE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE COMFORTER, HIS CREATIONS IN THIS CASE THE HOLY BIBLE & HOLY CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS have His Abiding Healings & Presence in them and WILL TOUCH THE SINGER/CHOIR WITH Hisv HIS PEACE OR SHALOM & COMFORT, THAT IS THE KEY, SECRET POWER OF HEALING INSPIRATION IN THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS.
    (c). Therefore the humble repenting sinner saved by Grace will feel the ANNOINTING peace or SHALOM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT by LISTENING OR SING ALONG to these THESE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS.
    [5]. ALL THE ATTRIBUTES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT will be experienced by the singer,choir & listeners.
    [6]. The SINGER, CHOIR, Listeners & those who sing along will experience THE DETAILED ATTRIBUTES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN 1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 13 OF THE 9 ASPECTS OF LOVE TO HIS/HER LIFE, THIS IS THE KEY & SECRET TO EXPERIENCING THE HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER'S OF HEALING AND COMFORTS ADDRESSING ALL YOUR BURDENS, NEEDS AND ILLS, THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S HEALINGS IN EACH &:EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS.
    [7]. THE SINGER, CHOIR, LISTENERS, &:SING-ALONGS WILL EXPERIENCE THE FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT as in Galatians chapter 5 verses 21-23.
    THEREFORE ONLY LISTEN & SING ALONG WITH PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS TO FIND PEACE, POWER OF HEALING AND COMFORTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
    MALIE , HALLELUJAH TO JESUS FOR THIS PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS. ALL GLORY & HONOR TO OUR LORD CREATOR GOD JESUS CHRIST as Stated in the Gospel of John who has died for the penalty of our sins which is DEATH & HAIL OF FIRE OF HELL OF DESTRUCTION IN REVELATION CHAPTER 20 & AFTER THAT IN CHAPTERS 21 & 22 ETERNAL LIFE WILL COMMENCE SINCE ALL EVIL & SINNERS & LUCIFER & HIS FALLEN ANGELS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED FROM EXISTENCE THAT WE WILL NOT REMEMBER THEM ANYMORE FOR CEASE TO EXIST IN THE NEW EARTH FOR IT IS EDEN RESTORED AT REVELATION CHAPTER 21 & 22.
    THEREFORE, ONLY LISTEN & SING ALONG WITH THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS FOR YOUR PERSONAL DEVOTION OR FAMILY WORSHIP OR CHURCH WORSHIP HOURS.
    THE ONLY TIME TO LISTEN TO CONTEMPORARY GOSPEL IS WHEN YOU ARE NOT WORSHIPPING HOURS. SO CONTEMPORARY GOSPEL IS JUST FOR EASY LISTENING WHEN DOING SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF WORSHIP.
    MAY THE HOLY SPIRIT'S HEALINGS BE UPON EACH ONE OF YOU LISTENING TO EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS 🙏🙏🙏 BLESSED 2023 TO YOU ALL 🥰🙏🙏🙏

    Suddenly return and never,
    Never more Thy temples leave.

    "Changed from Glory into Glory"
    In God's "perfect Love!"
    Our divine transformation at different levels, as God embraces us as we are taken there, from here(earth), in the fuller Love of God, obviously hidden in Jesus, most likely because of Jesus Promise of return to us.
    The latter could be better expressed but I just wanted to truly reassure you all, that in spite of these awful special times , so to speak, that God really does love us! His ways are not our ways and He truly is Almighty!
    All I really just wanted to say sincerely, is to give Queen Elizabeth II, all my good wishes for continued good health, happiness and love. I do hope that you keep well. I have a feeling that you are very much loved. At moments I love you too, ( I think that is so due to my Prayer), regardless of all the awful divisions etc., and I hope that you know that your people want you to keep well and be happy. I so wish I had written to you professionally, yet my life has truly been taken up , so to speak, as one long (yet short, regardless of decades) Holy Prayer. Truly!
    Take care and know we love you, and thank you. Do keep well and look after yourself.
    God Bless, Love, Guide, Protect and keep you safe eternally Queen Elizabeth II.
    Amen. Thank you so much. 💖
    Glory to God in the Highest.
    💖😘💖 Please take care too 😘💖

    I love this tune so much I specially chose this hymn as one of my own wedding's hymnal in 2014. I remember vividly how I could not find a right tune-to-text version and I had to manually photocopy two seperate versions, one with the text on a different tune, another of the tune with different text, and cut out the text from the wrong tune version and paste it line by line, verse by verse over the tune with the wrong text, to submit the final "surgically bound" version to the church.

    Blessed is the nation indeed that reaches out to the world with the unchanging message and salvation offered through the appeal of the Lord Father God Yahweh and the Saviour our Lord Jesus Christ. . At a time of division, King Henry the 8th in controversial times had the guts and conviction to make the split with Rome. This has resulted in blessings so many times repeated for the green fertile land of the United Kingdom. Her Majesty, the Queen, as a Christian herself, has made a lifetime commitment to the 'Kingdom of God' described in the New Testament by the Lord Jesus Himself. This Commonwealth Service is something that expands exponentially beyond all expectation, to the point that peoples and tribes are being drawn into salvation, peace and an understanding of Christ Jesus in their lands.

      @@DiscoverJesus Agree.: From a believers perspective the world that The Lord God created is slipping back into the abyss of the world of Noah's day, and this is testified through the lips of The Lord Jesus himself in Luke 21 and Matthew 24. So many people in the world today deny Jesus Christ, and view the old testament as a composition of folklore stories that can be relegated to the land of mythology because it was so long ago. Yahweh is without time, and all those faithfully recorded histories from the beginning, and the exodus from Egypt , testify to a supreme supernatural being who is the complete zenith of knowledge, power & authority. There is a Hell, and The Lord Jesus came to deliver us from it. John 3:16. . May the souls of mankind be awakened to the very truth.

    Another top favorite of mine, here sung in the key of G. Sometimes it's in Ab, with the resulting top note as high F. Hymn singing is one of the greatest British traditions and it's never fully satisfying without powerful organ support. On these special occasions the military band adds to the uplifting experience further. Many thanks for sharing, adding the subtitles and introductory details.

    1,
    Love divine, All love's excelling
    Joy of heaven to Earth come Down
    Fix In us humble dwelling
    All thy faithful mercies crown
    Jesus thou art All compassion
    Pure, unbounded love thou art
    Visit us with thy salvation
    Enter every trembling heart
    2,
    Breathe Oh breathe
    thy Loving spirit
    Into every troubled breast
    Let us all in thee inherit
    Let us find that second rest
    Take away our bent to sinning
    Alpha and Omega be
    End of faith, as it's beginning
    Set our hearts at Liberty
    3,
    Come Almighty to deliver
    Let us All thy life receive
    Suddenly return And never,
    Nevermore thy temples leave,
    Thee we would be
    Always Blessing
    Serve thee as thy host above
    Pray And praise thee without
    Ceasing,
    Glory In thy perfect Love
    4,
    Finish, then thy New creation
    Pure And spotless Let us be
    Let us see thy great salvation
    Perfectly restored in thee
    Changed from Glory into Glory
    Till in heaven,
    we take our place
    Till we cast our crowns
    before thee, Lost in wonder
    Love And praise
