I was searching UA-cam for this hymn because I heard it as a child, and it’s a bright spot in a long, dark span of my life.… Then I found this compilation! I forgotten how many beautiful expressions of religious faith are in old movies! Thank you so much for creating this! ❤
I'm a Roman Catholic, but I have always loved this hymn. It's an iconic song from our shared, collective American history which creates images in our minds of simple white New England churches, the pioneers, early midwest and western settlements, etc. It's as cheerful, strong and resolute as those who first sang it over 100 years ago.
I think that this is a hymn that all of us Christians in the body of Christ can “gather round.” ❤ (I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and this is one of my most favorite hymns ever.)
Really? Love how he made movies so beautifully. We lived in Japan 2 years & my son was born there. I love your landscaping & achitecture. I used to walk & bike all around just to admire it all.
Sam Peckinpah (raised strict Protestant) used it masterfully in the opening of THE WILD BUNCH. The lyric/title telegraphs the bunch reconoitering at the Rio Grande.
There is another moment later in The Searchers, which I believe has the Sons of the Pioneers singing this song around the fireplace, which is quite lovely.
He did indeed. I wonder if he had his father in mind as he was singing. Harry Carey Sr died the year before this, and John Ford dedicated the film to his memory.
i love it too but not so much as to have it in 8 films! I guess i might have the Welsh song Myfanwy in more than one (eg Morriston Orpheus choir on youtube). It is in How Green Was My Valley.

Burl Ives sings a great version. B

This is so wonderful!
Nice baritone voice, that Harry Carey, Jr.
He did indeed. I wonder if he had his father in mind as he was singing. Harry Carey Sr died the year before this, and John Ford dedicated the film to his memory.
Thanks so much for this! I love it! ❤️❤️
This hymn is also in Hang 'Em High. I just watched it on Prime video. Great movie.
Devo riconoscere che e' una musica.Un classico .
PS:Anche se,io,non mi sento molto ,ma,indubbiamente,riconosci una ,in questa canzone.Forse xchè' sono un'inguaribile romantico.
Bravo!!! 👍👍👍
You forgot the last scene of the 3 godfathers.
And for a bonus track, Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch," an homage to -- and a deconstruction of -- John Ford's films
John Ford magnífico
It's a good one.
Would love to know why he loved this hymn so much.
i love it too but not so much as to have it in 8 films! I guess i might have the Welsh song Myfanwy in more than one (eg Morriston Orpheus choir on youtube). It is in How Green Was My Valley.
@@mizofan I consider How Freen Was My Valley to be the perfect motion picture and I love the Welsh music in it.
@@mizofan - Great song! Love the scene it is from also!
@@trapezemusic - It is one of our absolute favorites! Love the Welsh music too.
Sam Pechinpak l'ha introdotta anche in un peecedente film.Il tanto poco riconosciuto,purtroppo,ajor Dundee>,alias.
