1 All my hope on God is founded; he doth still my trust renew. Me through change and chance he guideth, only good and only true. God unknown, he alone calls my heart to be his own.2 Human pride and earthly glory, sword and crown betray his trust; what with care and toil he buildeth, tower and temple, fall to dust. But God's power, hour by hour, is my temple and my tower.3 God's great goodness aye endureth, deep his wisdom, passing thought: splendour, light, and life attend him, beauty springeth out of naught. Evermore from his store new-born worlds rise and adore.4 Daily doth th' Almighty giver bounteous gifts on us bestow; his desire our soul delighteth, pleasure leads us where we go. Love doth stand at his hand; joy doth wait on his command.5 Still from earth to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done, high above all praises praising for the gift of Christ his Son. Christ doth call one and all: ye who follow shall not fall.
Ooh.. how I love this song:-) I'm happy to hear there are congregations that appreciate Howells' majestic composing:-) I can't express how much I love this!!
If you are listening to this, wondering if there is a Jesus- He is real. He's complete, tender love and He wants to know you. Look for Him and you'll easily find Him
Herbert Howells wrote this in memory of his only son Michael, who died at a very young age. What an incredible statement of Faith in the face of tragedy!
That's how the story goes. But it's not true. The tune name Michael was given by a colleague later, based on the text and his familiarity with the death of Howells' son. But according to Howells himself, he wrote the tune "while eating bacon" within 5 minutes of receiving the telegram of a request to set these words to music.
😃 " ANYWAY.... I love how promptly this video displayed the lyrics, for those of us who don't know them by heart or without a hymnal. I was able to follow along, badly yet heartily, singing in unison. "
The recessional hymn at our church this morning, here in Montgomery, Alabama (USA). Amidst so much that discourages humankind these days, amidst personal skepticism and dismay, the music and the majestic words can still help put things in perspective, and stir the soul to carry on.
British composer Herbert Howells studied with Charles V. Stanford at the Royal College of Music in London and later taught there. The tune was composed for an English school and was named for Howells' son who died in childhood. I still get goose bumps every time we sing it in our church....with descant! :) The Anglicans hands down have the BEST hymns!
I heard positive words about Songs of Praise before, but I guess I won't be able to receive it from the very east of the Netherlands.. :-( You're lucky being English, J. Yours, L.S.A.
At S. Michaels Burton Park, where I was at school, we sang this hymn on every Foundation Day. I would say it was, along with the Nativity Scenes in Petworth Church, the highlight of the year. Who agrees with me?
... haven't heard this in absolute ages! One of my all time favourites, so much so, it was one of the three songs sung at our wedding (... it was our 10th anniversary back in August). Beautiful words, beautiful music.
This might well have been for the Gulf war, I'm not sure now without finding the video again! Every Sunday, there is a programme of Hymns called "Songs of Praise" and they sometimes do a special one if something big happens.
He wrote this hymn in memory of his only son, who died very suddenly. I think he may have had polio- but it was the beginning of his finding of Christ."The hymn's popularity increased when its pairing with a tune Michael by the English composer Herbert Howells became more widely known.[4] Howells' son, Michael, born in 1925, had died in childhood in 1935 from spinal meningitis. It is believed that shortly after this, in 1936, Howells received a request for a new hymn tune in the morning's post, and he is said to have written the tune, which he named after his late son, over breakfast. The tune first appeared in 1936 in the Clarendon Hymn Book, but its use remained largely confined in public school (independent) use in Britain for the next thirty years or so.[citation needed] Its popularity began to spread in 1969 when it was included in the "100 Hymns for Today" supplement of the Hymns Ancient and Modern, one of the standard Church of England hymnbooks of its day. The Methodist church included it (albeit as second choice) in the 1983 Hymns and Psalms, and it was the main choice in the 1986 New English Hymnal. It has subsequently appeared in many hymnbooks across the English-speaking world."
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 🙏.

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).

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.

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.

I think this was in the 90s, after some national disaster though I'm not sure now which one. I think it may have been just after Diana's death. I will have to dig the video out again some time to check.
The only instance of the Howells setting being sung at Westminster Abbey and appearing in the TV listings I can find is 28 February 1982: A service of thanksgiving to mark the centenary of the foundation of the Royal College of Music. However it could be a more recent service for which the individual hymns weren't listed in the schedules, but the clothes look to old to be 1997.
Lewis- that muscular Christianity that once was the norm in France and the UK is past. Every time we visit we attend a service simply to hear those great hymns. It's odd (I'm atheist) but I was saddened at the few young people and those present were ignorant of he Bible, hymn or any aspect of their own religion. The unifying bonds of religion on society cannot be underestimated. Jefferson said there was no better peaceful social control than religion.
Well I guess I knew what I did! First of all, get over to the organbuilder for a high-pressure Royal Trumpet in the back of the church for the descants,, and make sure they don't go to fast,, and let your organ be the support and the crown of their singing.
jonty4113 If you think that way, you should be a Baptist, not an Anglican! LOL, just kidding! Seriously, though in a large, very busy church like the Abbey, every service has to fit within a prescribed time slot because there's always something happening afterwords that needs the space.
Whit Johnstone Ha! Come over here and I'll anabaptise you for that (kidding!). You make a very fair point about the Abbey- in no real sense is it a parish church, at least not on occasions like this- the point is to be a celebration of diverse people coming together, as in the traditional gathering of people to 'mother churches' on Mothering Sunday (incidentally, I've often wondered whether this is what's going on in Luke 2; does a census have parallels to jubilee and so are people returning to their familial homes?), and so the commitment is more to corporate celebration than exposition of the Word, which seems fair. However, the point I was trying to make gently to Harvey was not really about the Abbey (or hymns!), but a wider lay Anglican attitude at large I seem to be running into all too often, that the sermon is just some unfortunate necessity, to be performed as perfunctorily and as entertainingly as possible before getting back to What I Like and Finishing Before the Meat has Burned (apologies if I parody your position; I'm just aiming to clarify- I do know people who use stopwatches rather than actually listening!). This position often seems to be held by those who assume some ownership of the heritage of Anglicanism; what I want to say to them (unfortunately, this is going to be a much abbreviated form of the argument) is no, this is not the tradition of the church (see George Herbert's seminal and still much admired A Priest to the Temple, Chapter 7 for the classic text, which recommends length of sermon of not exceeding an hour [but presumably of that order])- as a church which believes in the corporate exposition of Scripture and the Church's understanding by the Spirit of that Scripture as primary (as well as private reading in the Lutheran tradition), it is vital to all of our other tradition, let alone our daily living, that we are fully fed on the Word. Matthew 4.4 and Deuteronomy 8.3 don't read 'Man does not live by bread alone, but by every verse of All Things Bright and Beautiful'. Just a thought.
Thanks for the information:-).. Do the English always organize this kind of services with disasters (I saw vids of services because of the start of the Gulf War) or maybe it was because I was born :-(
Notyobs,, do you know when this was? Diana's funeral again? Queen's mother's? And I was wondering,, what is the function of the man in front of the camera in black robe with red/gold stole from +/- 0.27 till 0.30?
It dates from the 960s, at which point it was founded by the Benedictines. Although it has had a long-standing royal connection, it was first and foremost an abbey church of a monastery. Henry VIII was the first to change that by establishing it as a cathedral, which it remained for 10 years. This was the first exertion of royal CONTROL over the abbey, and it did not belong in any sense to the Crown until the Reformation. A royal peculiar requires the sovereign be the head of the church.
no it wasnt founded by him. the building was not the actually abbey it was actually founded by st.dunston who followed st.benedict's rule and so they were benedictine monks edward the confessor just reubuilt it then henry the III in gothic style
it only belonged to the sovereign of england after elizabeth I declared it a royal peculiar before that it belonged to the catholic and anglican churches
One commentator below says he cannot accept Anglican Orders as valid. This trashes another group of Christians. The Orders were declared null and void by Leo XIII in 1896 on the grounds that the consecration of Mathew Parker as Archbishop of Canterbury in 1559 was defective in intention (to create a bishop as understood by Rome as a sacrificing priest never mind he already was one having been ordained a Roman Catholic priest) and faulty ordinal. Not doubted was the actual consecration performed by 4 ment, 2 made bishops with the Edwardine Ordinal and 2 with the Roman Pontifical in the 1530s. All 4 had been consecrated by men in Roman Catholic Orders. The condemnation was reported as 4 against, 2 in favor and 2 abstentions, but the rumor is 4 to 4 with the Pope breaking the tie. Such trashing holds Christians up to ridicule and charges of hypocrisy. As Lutheran friend told me 35 years ago, "I spent 5 years in Taiwan. Many are interested in our religion. But when they find out about the in-fighting they ask why should we believe your talk about grace and forgiveness when you can't even get your act together among each other."
If only people lived such great faith. A beautiful hymn with solid theology.
Agreed; one of the greatest and uplifting hymn tunes ever composed. Herbert Howells was a genius and this simple tune is one of his finest.
Another great hymn from the Anglicans. Very pleasant to listen to. Great choir and Organ work.
Another great hymn from my school days, what a pleasure to be able to collect & listen to them when I feel the need.
All thanks to UA-cam.
One of the most beuatiful hymn I have ever heard...sung with sincerity and enthusiasm. You Brits make a great hymn come alive! Thank you, thank you.
this one of the best marriages of tunes to words ever and consequently one of the finest hymns on earth... truly magnificent!
1 All my hope on God is founded;
he doth still my trust renew.
Me through change and chance he guideth,
only good and only true.
God unknown,
he alone
calls my heart to be his own.2 Human pride and earthly glory,
sword and crown betray his trust;
what with care and toil he buildeth,
tower and temple, fall to dust.
But God's power,
hour by hour,
is my temple and my tower.3 God's great goodness aye endureth,
deep his wisdom, passing thought:
splendour, light, and life attend him,
beauty springeth out of naught.
Evermore
from his store
new-born worlds rise and adore.4 Daily doth th' Almighty giver
bounteous gifts on us bestow;
his desire our soul delighteth,
pleasure leads us where we go.
Love doth stand
at his hand;
joy doth wait on his command.5 Still from earth to God eternal
sacrifice of praise be done,
high above all praises praising
for the gift of Christ his Son.
Christ doth call
one and all:
ye who follow shall not fall.
How wonderful to see such heartfelt singing of this lovely hymn.
Defenitely! It's so encouraging and hope/trust renewing hymn! And that tune!!
Great!! Lovely!!

Yes! After seeing this video, I took some more Howells music,, He definitely was a(n not well known) genius..!!
Yes, he had a daughter called Ursula who died in 2005. Howells himself died in 1983, a few months shy of his 100th birthday.
Excellent :-)

I think this was in the 90s, after some national disaster though I'm not sure now which one. I think it may have been just after Diana's death. I will have to dig the video out again some time to check.

Lewis- that muscular Christianity that once was the norm in France and the UK is past. Every time we visit we attend a service simply to hear those great hymns. It's odd (I'm atheist) but I was saddened at the few young people and those present were ignorant of he Bible, hymn or any aspect of their own religion. The unifying bonds of religion on society cannot be underestimated. Jefferson said there was no better peaceful social control than religion.
Had no idea it was Howells
Well I guess I knew what I did! First of all, get over to the organbuilder for a high-pressure Royal Trumpet in the back of the church for the descants,, and make sure they don't go to fast,, and let your organ be the support and the crown of their singing.
I so wish verses were not cut out. Don't cut hymns, cut droning on sermons.
Better: don't cut either. Sunday lunch can wait.
jonty4113 If you think that way, you should be a Baptist, not an Anglican! LOL, just kidding!
Seriously, though in a large, very busy church like the Abbey, every service has to fit within a prescribed time slot because there's always something happening afterwords that needs the space.

Ha! Come over here and I'll anabaptise you for that (kidding!).
You make a very fair point about the Abbey- in no real sense is it a parish church, at least not on occasions like this- the point is to be a celebration of diverse people coming together, as in the traditional gathering of people to 'mother churches' on Mothering Sunday (incidentally, I've often wondered whether this is what's going on in Luke 2; does a census have parallels to jubilee and so are people returning to their familial homes?), and so the commitment is more to corporate celebration than exposition of the Word, which seems fair.
However, the point I was trying to make gently to Harvey was not really about the Abbey (or hymns!), but a wider lay Anglican attitude at large I seem to be running into all too often, that the sermon is just some unfortunate necessity, to be performed as perfunctorily and as entertainingly as possible before getting back to What I Like and Finishing Before the Meat has Burned (apologies if I parody your position; I'm just aiming to clarify- I do know people who use stopwatches rather than actually listening!). This position often seems to be held by those who assume some ownership of the heritage of Anglicanism; what I want to say to them (unfortunately, this is going to be a much abbreviated form of the argument) is no, this is not the tradition of the church (see George Herbert's seminal and still much admired A Priest to the Temple, Chapter 7 for the classic text, which recommends length of sermon of not exceeding an hour [but presumably of that order])- as a church which believes in the corporate exposition of Scripture and the Church's understanding by the Spirit of that Scripture as primary (as well as private reading in the Lutheran tradition), it is vital to all of our other tradition, let alone our daily living, that we are fully fed on the Word.
Matthew 4.4 and Deuteronomy 8.3 don't read 'Man does not live by bread alone, but by every verse of All Things Bright and Beautiful'.
Just a thought.
Amen the modern ones don't really cut it for me either
Thanks for the information:-)..
Do the English always organize this kind of services with disasters (I saw vids of services because of the start of the Gulf War)
or maybe it was because I was born :-(
Notyobs,, do you know when this was? Diana's funeral again? Queen's mother's? And I was wondering,, what is the function of the man in front of the camera in black robe with red/gold stole from +/- 0.27 till 0.30?
It dates from the 960s, at which point it was founded by the Benedictines. Although it has had a long-standing royal connection, it was first and foremost an abbey church of a monastery. Henry VIII was the first to change that by establishing it as a cathedral, which it remained for 10 years. This was the first exertion of royal CONTROL over the abbey, and it did not belong in any sense to the Crown until the Reformation. A royal peculiar requires the sovereign be the head of the church.
no it wasnt founded by him. the building was not the actually abbey it was actually founded by st.dunston who followed st.benedict's rule and so they were benedictine monks edward the confessor just reubuilt it then henry the III in gothic style
it only belonged to the sovereign of england after elizabeth I declared it a royal peculiar before that it belonged to the catholic and anglican churches
Uray daytoy saan ko ammo
No,, I'm sorry for him..
Do you know if he had any other children?
The Westminster Abbey was Catholic...but it was taken. Just a joking nudge...but a true one.
Is a German Christian Hymn.
Did you really get trumpets added to your organ???
But maybe you haven't played the better one in London....?
Lovely hymn shame missing verses don't like sermons too long
One commentator below says he cannot accept Anglican Orders as valid. This trashes another group of Christians. The Orders were declared null and void by Leo XIII in 1896 on the grounds that the consecration of Mathew Parker as Archbishop of Canterbury in 1559 was defective in intention (to create a bishop as understood by Rome as a sacrificing priest never mind he already was one having been ordained a Roman Catholic priest) and faulty ordinal. Not doubted was the actual consecration performed by 4 ment, 2 made bishops with the Edwardine Ordinal and 2 with the Roman Pontifical in the 1530s. All 4 had been consecrated by men in Roman Catholic Orders. The condemnation was reported as 4 against, 2 in favor and 2 abstentions, but the rumor is 4 to 4 with the Pope breaking the tie. Such trashing holds Christians up to ridicule and charges of hypocrisy. As Lutheran friend told me 35 years ago, "I spent 5 years in Taiwan. Many are interested in our religion. But when they find out about the in-fighting they ask why should we believe your talk about grace and forgiveness when you can't even get your act together among each other."
+Edward Franks No doubt you are right. But not all Catholics believe and say nasty things. Of course many do. But not all.
Did you know that he named this tune "Michael" after his young son, who died at a very young age. Seems to me it was spinal meningitis.
Shame.. I'm really sorry.. He got old though!
TERRIFIC!!!!
