Even from someone who has not been to church in years I can say without a doubt that nothing beats the sound of a good pipe organ. This organist is fantastic (as is the choir).
The 3rd stanza begins with, "HIs Kingdom can not fail." that inspires me to no end. That's a statement filled with Biblical accuracy. You can anchor your faith on this statement.
It's me, again. I am an ELCA Lutheran that lives in SC. I play the piano and organ. Today (July 3), we opened our service with a hymn to this tune. It is Before You Lord, We Bow, written by Francis Scott Key, 1779-1843. It is #893 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.
MAGNIFICENT RENDERING !!!.....What An INCREDIBLE Organist And Choir !!!....The Tempo Was Absolutely Perfect , Thus Conducive To " Milking This Great Hymn For All It Was Worth !!! "....Sung GLORIOUSLY In The High Anglican Tradition , The Sopranos And Tenors were EXCEPTIONAL !!!.....In FACT I Would Go As Far To Say , That The Sopranos And Tenors Were "BEAST " !!!!!.....
The beauty of God's countenance shines out in this beautiful hymn. Hello WORLD, this is indeed how one is fashioned in His service, when one becomes the child of the wonderful King. REJOICE.
mark husey your insight into improvisation is off the chain!!!!! You are definitely a unique organist.....you really love running notes. That pipe organ sound is tops!!!
Beautiful choir, i have my own choir and we do sing this song sometimes with our brass band, but it doesn't sound as good as this choir, beautiful, love it, thanks 4 posting this beautiful choir....
It's me, again. I also play the piano and organ. Today (November 22, Christ the King Sunday), I played this as the Opening Hymn. However, as I implied in my previous post, we sang it to the tune, LAUS REGIS. It is #430 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship. So ends the Church Year.
+mkl62 We sang this today as our opening hymn, but we used DARWALL's 148th as the tune even though our hymnal has LAUS REGIS. We just ended a sermon series called "The King, His Kingdom, His Heirs."
This hymn isn't considered contemporary enough at (my former church) St Francis of Assisi in Centerville, OH. The parish priest Father Phelps suggested we attend a church where older people attend in the downtown area of Dayton when I suggested we sing more traditional hymns, ones people are familiar with and would know well enough to participate singing.
Then your priest needs to get his head out of the seat of his cassock. I don't have much, if any, use for such a pastor. Good thing I'm not his bishop - one of us would have to go!
VisitStPeters The soprano is the gal on the cover. She sends chills up my spine with her beautiful singing. I’d love to find out who she is. Anyone know? Or how to find out? It is really important to me that I discover that mystery minister.

I am right there with you.
This is one of my favorite hymns. We sing this in our Church; St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Penfield, NY.

Thanks very much, I believe you've been generous with your praise here before. Blessings!

I have listened to this over and over and I LOVE it I have been scouring the web for the music. This is so wonderfully done!!
Your run up the scale in your introduction is just fantastic!
We sing this hymn at our Presbyterian Church every Easter Sunday! Beautiful!
Best rendition I have ever heard! MAN that organ is a brute! I get a little pentecostal/charismatic ...
My Anglican church plays this Darwall tune at every single service and now I can't get it out of my head :-P Beautifully played in this video though!

One of the first Catholic songs I learnded.Thank you Dr Noel Goemanne of happy memory.
Great sounding organ. I do prefer the words of Ye Holy Angels Bright to this. Just sends a shiver down my spine.

There is another tune that this hymn can be sung to. It is LAUS REGIS, composed by William E. Fischer (1849-1936).

@NolePaul2006
And an outstanding organist.
No doubt, but I'm glad that we do!
