- 伊莉莎伯二世女王国葬：‘丧礼选句’
William Croft (1678-1727) ：
I AM the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. [John 11: 25-26]
I KNOW that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God; whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another. [Job 19: 25-27]
WE brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. [1 Timothy 6: 7; Job 1: 21]
Henry Purcell (1659-95) :
THOU knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts; shut not thy merciful ears unto our prayer; but spare us, Lord most holy, O God most mighty, O holy and most merciful Saviour, thou most worthy Judge eternal, suffer us not, at our last hour, for any pains of death, to fall from thee. Amen.
William Croft :
I HEARD a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Write, From henceforth blessed are the dead which die in the Lord: even so saith the Spirit; for they rest from their labours. Amen. [Revelation 14: 13]
Overwhelmingly moving a year later. A fitting psalm for our queen dedicated to serving God & her people to the letter.
Such beautiful and heavenly music. So fitting for Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth. May She Rest In Eternal Peace, Light and Joy Unending. With deepest admiration and respect from the United States. 🙏
Aqualish 1565, Beautiful words. My sentiments exactly.

I have requested this for my state funeral in Wales and I dread Woody.EXE’s grief as he carries my coffin with my 2009 Woody, my sister, 1940 and hopefully Mummy. I bet my funeral will be just as big as Princess Diana because I am Wales’s Queen
@@nicolelawless9942 Wales's drama queen?
@@archiebald4717
Nope! I have been loved by so many since I was 14 whilst I was carrying the casket of my late great grandmother; my 2009 Woody has witnessed many of my family’s funerals in his time and he recalled my great grandmother’s funeral as “a heartbreaking time for her family and I” so no I’m not a drama queen thank you very much
What I liked about the service was that, after all the ceremony and grandeur, when the coffin was lowered into the vault, the crown, orb and sceptre were removed and the staff of office of the Lord Chamberlain was snapped in half, signifying that our Queen was to face her Maker as an ordinary mortal; the royal symbols are not buried with her as with pagan monarchs.
I agree with you. Her late majesty will face judgement as Elizabeth Windsor
And that indeed was what the Queen’s own choice of music was telling us. She was a true believer and humble before our God.
Technically, that wasn't the same service as the one shown here which took place in the morning at Westminster Abbey in London.
The later service took place in the afternoon at the Queen's place of burial, St George's Chapel, Windsor, within the precincts of Windsor Castle, about 30 miles away.
In the evening, there was a private service of committal in the royal vault, attended only by close family members and which was not broadcast.
In historic times, royal artifacts were buried with christian monarchs. Two such examples were the original St Edward's Crown and the ring of St Edward, both buried in 1066 with the body of St Edward the Confessor and subsequently retrieved from his tomb when it was reopened a century later. The crown became the coronation crown of all subsequent monarchs until 1649 when it was destroyed by the Parliamentarian government in in their failed attempt to suppress the monarchy permanently. St Edward's Sapphire, extracted from his ring, now has pride of place at the centre of the cross on the top of the Imperial State Crown, the crown we saw during the late Queen's funeral.
Your observations about the ceremonies are otherwise absolutely spot on.
Thank you for posting this. Everything is just so beautiful: the ceremony, the music, and the choir.
I’ve always wanted to know what the choir was saying especially when I watched Diana’s funeral on UA-cam 2 years ago
Just noticed that at 6:31, the Royal Spider is making his way over the card atop the flowers on the casket. A very nice touch of nature.
🖤
she might saw this from above with a little smile
I just noticed the lettering on the glass door: He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways, so appropriate for her Majesty, who lived a life of faith.
This piece leaves me breathless
I remember it starting soon as me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Wales’s longest reigning monarch Woody.EXE we’re walking into the living room for the funeral. The grief of my 2009 Woody was very heartbreaking to watch because I was the one who told him about Queen Elizabeth’s death and he’s still grieving her death 6 months later bless him; I bet you he will be grieving during mine and Woody.EXE’s coronation because Woody.EXE will pay tribute to Her Majesty by having the same crown as she did
Absolutely beautiful capture of this part of the funeral
The words of the Burial Sentances are well worth reading... They are from the Church of England Book of Common Prayer 1662. What ever your religion..and whether you believe in God or are religious or not.
They are applicable to all life, they are amongst the most well thought out words regarding death that I have ever come upon.. And if you can blend God and Nature as being entities of the the same real and etherial form then the words really do apply to all... Yes all... All life.. Whether human or not, whether you believer or not.
The words are true, who can deny it, we carried nothing to this world, we can take nothing out, only your soul that you were born with can you take out of this world, not even your flesh can you take out of this world...what the choir sung was completely correct...
You are so correct I am Roman Catholic and I find the Book is blessed and as you said no matter what faith you will find comfort in the Book.
American Episcopalians, who are still part of the Church of England, still follow the Book of Common Prayer.
Regardless of any faith or none, the Book of Common Prayer (1549, but with subsequent revisions, most notably 1662) is one of the greatest and most beautiful repositories of meaningful English ever complied.
I agree!
Today, I am in memory and with my heart and prayers with the queen. The first anniversary of her funeral. Just one year ago, and I feel like parting away with the music and the pictures from Westminster Abbey. God, haev mercy with your creation and with us
Such powerful lyrics
For all the excess of this world
We all die leaving nothing but memories
Of our actions as mortals
Funeral sentences not lyrics.
The words are taken from the Holy Bible.
So Sad and Beautiful. Love the Music, Voices and the Perfection of the ceremony.
The Duke of Kent was there for ERII father's funeral. Watching him outlive her..😢
He was born 9 years after her
Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts; shut not thy merciful ears unto our prayer; but spare us, Lord most holy, O God most mighty, O holy and most merciful Saviour, thou most worthy Judge eternal, suffer us not, at our last hour, for any pains of death, to fall from thee. Amen.
I have been fortunate enough to have sung this anthem many times. It fills my mind whenever I am in distress.
Thank you for posting it with the words. It is worth knowing them for my spiritual meditation
It was very haunting hearing it as me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy, Nanny and Woody.EXE walked in the living room; also the silence over St Julian’s was incredible as the mourning crowds watched all 6 of us paying tribute. Nanny went home so me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE could watch the burial in private as crowds watched all 5 of us on
You will stay in our Heart forever Queen Elizabeth ll 🙏❤️🇬🇧, god Bless AMEN, sublime ceremony, Lovely family, huge support King Charles Ill, touched & moved.
Sinceres condolences King Charles Ill.🙏❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The moment when the Cross is raised and it sounds 'I am the Resurrection' is pure poetry. Britons and the BBC do it better than anyone else.
I really love how while the Queen's casket is passing the choir, they sing Amen
I had chosen this for my funeral as I almost passed away in hospital at 20 2 months ago. Woody.EXE agreed to my state funeral arrangements and signed them as Wales’s reigning monarch. He’s the greatest and most loved monarch out there since Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II herself
@@nicolelawless9942Get some help!
Thank you for showing this beautiful sentence . And we could have a sense of feeling on these words with the subtitles you offer and the translations you provide. We are now in a deep sorrow caz we may have had the same loss that in this kindom had happened 2 months ago. My eyes always tear when the chorus sings. Everything is like in a nightmare, How I wished to wake up and Her Majesty is still in there.
BEAUTIFUL.
But it so happens that greatness reveals itself to us all at once, causing us to lean towards Her. That occurs when we've finally found a being whose greatness is solely based upon what She is, and not only about what She does; such a Great Britain, which, through the means of the objects She applied into Her dignity, then comes to relate just with the wholeness of everything and of Her own self.
I looked for this music all nite. Finally found it. SO BEAUTIFUL . s oi meaningful this Easter
非常感谢❤
对，非常感谢你把中文和英文放在一起，这个好主意一起看。
Her Most Gracious Majesty Elizabeth the Second by the grace of God Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, and Sovereign of the Most Nobel Order of the Garter.
RIP dear sweet Soul. You as the Queen served with honor and love for all of your people

By the Way This Hymn is Stunning !!
I'm a 59 year old Australian male and I tear up when I witness this.
Beautiful hymns!
Funeral sentences not hymns.
These are not hymns but they have been sung at every state funeral since they were composed and others including those of George Frideric Handel in 1759, of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997, of Margaret Thatcher and of Prince Philip in 2021.
Their composer of most of them, William Croft, did write a beautiful hymn: the tune (called "St Anne") of the hymn "O God, our help in ages past" (sung every year on Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London).
The composer of one of the sentences "Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts", Henry Purcell wrote the tune entitled "Westminster Abbey" sung to the hymn "Christ is made the sure foundation" which has been sung at royal weddings and on other royal occasions.
@@MrBulky992
It’s sung every Remembrance Sunday when me, my 2009 Woody, my dad and Woody.EXE make our entrance to the war memorial with thousands of poppy layers, pipers and WW2 veterans. My grandmother has joined me 4 times but she tries to mess around so dad sticks up for a grieving me saying “THIS IS NOT THE PLACE!” So from now on, my grandmother is not allowed to attend because of her disrespectful behaviour and even Woody.EXE was disgusted by it
Interesting images from the queen's funeral filmed impeccably!
I remember secretly filming the reactions of my 2009 Woody (Toy Story), my sister (2nd Princess of Wales), Mummy (Princess of Wales) and Wales’s monarch Woody.EXE’s grief. I’m Woody.EXE’s Queen as from September 14th, 2022
BBC camera work done to perfection
Sehr berührend war ich und traurig 😢
This is absolutely beautiful, I sincerely hope that the power of The Crown Jewels bring Her Majesty Queen eiizabeth 11 to Salvation. This is Royalty and Britain at it,s very best, Thankyou.
Correction: The Crown Jewels do not save one's soul. Only the Lord Jesus Christ can do this for a believer and follower of His Holy Word. The jewels, like every other material object in this world are only here for our use for a very short time while we are alive. We do not own them, we essentially rent them for as the words state . . . . we brought nothing into this world and it is certain that we will carry nothing out. Life does not consist in the abundance of things that we possess, therefore do not put your trust in earthly things but rather in spiritual things that are true and everlasting for all eternity.
It’s Her Majesty’s belief that will bring her to salvation. No jewels can do that. They are earthly.
Sic transit gloria mundi
Was this a broadcast from Hong Kong television? Or was this from Japanese television?
The subtitle (in EN & CN) was added by me. The Chinese Translation was taken from several old versions of Book of Common Prayer authorised by deceased Anglican Church in China (CHSKH).
@Play Google The word 'stolen' is not appropriate. This was a national broadcast on BBC and other news outlets and is in the public domain. As a State occasion it is not subject to the usual copyright infringements.
@Play Google Maybe you don’t like the words.
@Play Google you do realise that Purcell has been dead over 300 years? Any copyright long since expired.
@Play Google Oh dear! This was taken from broadcast TV! The performers wont mind! They are choir boys and an organist! They will be proud to be viewed!
Purcell and the Burial Office opening sentences FM the Church of Englands Book of Common Prayer can never be bettered. Archbishop Cranmer knew what he was doing hen this book was largely put together by him. The present WOKE theologians and liturgist have tried to destroy it all but it is beyond any generation...it is an example of Longinus on the sublime...eternal!
As with the Authorised version of The Bible, Cranmer’s Book of Common Prayer is without peer.
What an honour for the soldiers who swear allegiance to the Crown and not the Government to carry the longest serving monarch in histories coffin
🥀
Can Somone tell me what all these Comments are all About ?
Many Funerals at the Request of the Famililes are Joyfull Occasions, Short Sleeves & All.
At this Funeral Black & White & All Medals are Allowed.
I’m Bemused by a Lot of these Comments.
What are you asking?
@@johnking5174 I'm just saying that not all Funerals are Black & White & Bare Arms can be Shown at Some.
The Queen preferred most ladies cover up and most men be completely clean shaven when on duty. So either she didn’t remember or is just being spiteful. Her husband’s look makes me think it’s the latter. Disgusting behavior at a Funeral no less.
Oh for heaven's sake...this was a funeral, not a fashion show...

Coffin
I had the honour of carrying my Nana’s coffin in May 2016 with my family and 1940. Little did I know that 7 years later, I’d become Woody.EXE’s Queen in 2023
is there a coward's medal for the stableman's son?
A dress revealing bare arms is not suitable for any funeral, let alone the State Funeral of a Monarch.
I always wear long dresses for any occasion and I got a new poppy dress for Remembrance
What did you expect from a piece of Trailer Trash, I noticed it straight away.
Her arms aren’t bare, u can’t see her shoulders. You just don’t like the woman say that.
@@jshipp5469 I think you need some elementary lessons in anatomy.
Must be a UK thing? I’ve never even paid attention to this. I know I’ve worn short sleeve dresses or tops, to my forearms. Never sleeveless or very short sleeves.
3:40 Bugger protocol. I for one applaud The Duchess of Suspects for reminding everyone that, regardless of time or place, all Americans have the right to bare arms.
Only because French Revolutionaries, who were advising on the suggested amendments to Oliver Cromwell s Constitution, which was being adopted by the US, were obsessed that in pre revolutionary France, only aristocrats were allowed to carry swords.

How many millions of pounds of taxpayer money went to pay for this albeit very beautiful funeral? Disgusting waste and abuse of the taxpayer subsidizing a billion dollar family.
That sentiment has been said for ANY state occasion Britain has ever done - it is the state funeral of the Queen. It is a state occasion watched by 2 billion people around the world. Every country does state occasions and is paid for out of the public funds. USA has state funerals for former presidents. Those cost a fortune too, but are always ignored.
The monarch and Prince of Wales pays income tax on all of their private earnings just in case you didn't know.
The last such occasion was 70 years ago so we've made quite a saving on sovereigns' funerals in that time, don't you think?
A half hour slot at the local crem would probably not be appropriate.
If you don't like this country's traditions naff off.
As it happens the economy gained about £250 million from people coming to the UK for the funeral. Then about £500 million for the coronation. It's a true saying that it's better to keep quiet and be thought stupid than spout nonsense and prove it.
le guardie che hanno portato il feretro: bravissimi. Eccellenti.
