Love Divine, All Loves Excelling (Blaenwern) - Rowlands

- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- The great and very popular hymn 'Love divine, all loves excelling' is most often sung these days to the fine Welsh tune 'Blaenwern’. The hymn - with this tune - was one of the musical items at the wedding of Caritasian Sarah Winter to Richard on this weekend exactly a year ago in St Davids Cathedral, Pembrokeshire. The choir for the wedding was made up of Caritas members.
In this recording we sing two verses of this hymn, recently recorded in the superb acoustic of St German's Church, Cardiff, with Sarah herself singing on the front row. The second verse features a descant composed especially for the wedding by our Director, Lindsay Gray.
Our thanks go to all the singers, to Stephen Power (organist), and Paul Rothwell (recording engineer) - and our warm congratulations go to Sarah and Richard on their first anniversary!
We hope that you enjoy listening and watching!
A splendid performance/arrangement and a very thoughtful and lovely act of kindness to do this. Thanks to everyone involved last year and in this anniversary tribute! 💕 (Father of the bride)
Many thanks Jason! It was a wonderful for Caritas to be able to sing at the wedding. Very happy memories of a great day! 🎉❤
The 3rd last line (1m 50s) 'Till in heaven we take our place' is a gobsmackingly beautiful descant.
Love Divine, All love's excelling
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

Who composed the descant for this lovely arrangement?
Thank you. It is by Lindsay Gray, the Director of Caritas, composed especially for the wedding of one of our Caritas singers in 2022.
@@lindsaygray2246 Would it be possible if I could get your arrangement for this hymn? I think it would beautifully enrich the liturgy at the Masses I play at if I used it. Thank you 👍
@@gerardtran84 - yes; sorry to have missed your question. If you could place your email address here, I’ll send you a copy of the arrangement. Best wishes… Lindsay
