In this storm of covid19, souls melteth away in this trouble, souls cry unto the Lord at wits end. May the Lord bringeth them up, unto the haven where they would be. Too many of our eldest community have been lost, may our youngest do everything to protect our elders.

Psalm 107:23-24 > 23 They that fly into the sky in Ships , that do business in dark Space; 24 These see the works of the Universe, and the majesty in the Deep. Semper Fi!
this is one of the few that stuck with me after a good number of years. Albeit that I am only 18, I sang in a cathedral choir from 7-13 y/o and this is now one of the ones which stuck with me, due to its memories, and how lovely it is.
A very fine memory indeed. If this keeps "sticking" with you, you will not go very far wrong in life. (I say that as a retired mariner who appreciates *everyone* who remembers us.) Thank you.
Always liked it - BUT if you want the whole of Psalm 107, there's nothing quite like Bairstow's setting with its contrasting major and minor episodes and glorious periodic refrain of "O that men..." Twice as long as the Sumsion, but worth every minute!
Oliver, I am not too sure who you are from your description of "furthest to the right". Which row? Also, I would mention that I often ventured "Down To The Sea in Ships" and I served under a Master After God who would often play home-made recordings that he had made and which were part of his entirely voluntary attendance Sunday Services. He was a very old fashioned Master and whilst even considered more than *very* strict, I often appreciated in later life some of the many strictures I learned from him. They stood me well in later life. Of course, he had no such things as UA-cam recordings in that day and age though I still very much appreciated his home-made seafarers' hymns which he brought on board on a cassette tape. I hope you are proud of your contribution to this video, Oliver, for such hymns bring great comfort, even to those of us now approaching "Fiddler's Green"
I remember singing this. at the "big top" (Washington DC) All those wonderful M&B choirs in the US now gone. Replaced by dreck. Its just to sad to dwell on.
Hi Chris Doeller, What has happened concerning choirs in the US? I am fearful to hear your answer for I fear your hint of "dreck" may well suggest what you speak of. I would still be interested to hear your comments. Thank you.
A stunning performance of a ridiculously dumb tune. I mean dumb in the sense of ripping off of Howells and Stanford. But what a dream these singers and organist are. We all thank you for your talent
Just for anyone who is wondering what the title is from, There's a statue in Gloucester (the Fisherman's Statue) that has the words "To they that go down to the sea in ships 1623-1923" A very great place to visit.

I remember recording this way back when at Ely. It must have been circa 2001. All proceeds went to the RNLI. I loved singing this piece.
Thank you.

Love this. Reminds me so much of the Fisherman's Monument in Gloucester MA USA They that go down in ships 1623 - 1923
Such beautiful singing, although no longer in the choir, I can still appreciate such marvellous pieces of composure.
My favorite passage in my favorite Psalm set to music... glad to have discovered this
Gives me goosebumps every time!!!!!!
Excellent performance of a classic anthem.
the organ player created this but the choir voices blessed this unbelievably.
I am in love with this.
Very nice one. Thank you.
the works of the lord and his wonder - SEEN
We are preparing to sing this for our Michalemas service.
Just sang this at hampton court choir. next sundays my last :(
Thank you, Joshua Pitts. I hope you can keep on singing!

Was the recording done around the same time of the upload, or was it done a bit before? Fantastic recording
That's me, the chorister sitting furthest to the right! Where did you get this picture from??

Is there another anthem with the same title? My recollections are of an anthem with a different tune but same title. Can anyone help

It's a big ask to go down to the sea in a ship. Far better to walk or ride there, then get in a ship if you must.
I used this song in the last scene of this video: ua-cam.com/video/MdDp9EARwqQ/v-deo.html

There's a statue in Gloucester (the Fisherman's Statue) that has the words
"To they that go down to the sea in ships 1623-1923"

They're both probably inspired by Psalm 107
Purcell , written for the time when Charles the 2nd had s bad day at sea
