Aw, you brought back memories of my primary school assemblies. Those were the days, when you could freely practice your religion without some Muslim or Jew screaming discrimination! God bless you and your family, Rob.
Great stuff Rob! On the tune - this is the best! In the 60's (or around that time) the 'people who know' about these things started trying to push it and replace it with the much more-worthy 'Royal Oak' - what they failed to take into account was 1) this is a good Victorian singable tune in its own right and 2) it wasn't lacking in popularity, anyway 3) its ingrained into people's expectations of the hymn.
@@RobCharles1981 Hi Rob again, Just came across this hymn..Double Momentous performance from you and I shall request this at my funeral played by your good self.Kind regards Glynn and greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands 🤝
As a Catholic Christian by reading these comments re assures me that God exists And Jesus died for our sins. Stay strong Christian brothers and sisters. Great tune God bless you all and great tune .
One problem with the original poem by Cecil Frances Alexander is a verse typically omitted from church hymnals for good reason: The rich man in his castle, The poor man at his gate, God made them high and lowly, And ordered their estate. The notion that it's God's will that the poor be poor and the rich be rich may have been fine in Victorian England (1848) as an endorsement of the class system, but it doesn't fly today and you typically won't find that third verse in any hymnal nowadays.
ToddSF 94109 it doesn’t matter if it “won’t fly today”, it is an accurate reflection of the divine order. Just as Heaven has a divine hierarchy, just as the Church has a hierarchy, so too do all the people who on earth do dwell.
Mr. Charles: Watch a magnificent group of hymns and I have enjoyed thoroughly and you are not afraid to open up the Pipe Organ with the stops. John Hong is the only organist I listen to on UA-cam. I thoroughly love the spirit of God and Jesus be lifted up and praised with the hymns per Psalm 150. God Bless you and your family always, Mark Lawrence Harris Age 69 Phoenix Arizona 85027
This tune was written by the great William Henry Monk (1823-89), who also wrote "Abide with Me" and many other great hymn tunes. The tune is actually called "All Things Bright and Beautiful". The other tune associated more recently with this hymn is Royal Oak, a traditional English melody arranged by Martin Shaw (1875-1958). The words are by Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-95) who also wrote the words to "There is a Green Hill Far Away".
Henry Francis Lyte (proud to go to his school) wrote Abide with Me. William Henry Monk composed the tune Eventide which everyone associates with the song.
Very nicely played, capturing the majesty of the song very well, bringing back memories of my childhood church and glorifying God in the process. I have an unusual request- a friend of mine has written a really funny book about a man working for a classical evil overlord as a vet for his magical creatures and monsters (dragons, basilisks etc) somewhat as a parody of James Herriot's 'All Creatures Great and Small' and I had the idea of promoting the book with a parody of 'All things bright and beautiful', entitled 'All things Huge and Hideous'. Would you be alright with me using some of the audio from this video as backing music for that?
This hymn Was written in Markee Castle Co. Sligo Ireland a few miles from where I live, Although some of ye would probably not know it had one of its verses removed in later years. The rich man in his castle, The poor man at his gate, God made them high and lowly, And ordered their estate.
I would love to hear Alex Osbourne practice playing the piano or the organ at these churches or cathedrals in Devon and Cornwall or anywhere in the UK, Ireland and across the world while she plays the hymn All Things Bright And Beautiful and the mezzo-soprano singing personality from Wales; Katherine Jenkins (Kathy Jenkins) alongside the Community, Children's, Schoolchildren's, Symphony and Gospel Choir can sing. It's got six verses overall. She could be watching and singing this hymn on Songs Of Praise on TV, handheld devices and on the computer. Here come the lyrics. #AllThingsBrightAndBeautiful #KatherineJenkins #KathyJenkins #Mezzosoprano #CommunityChoir #ChildrensChoir #SchoolchildrensChoir #SymphonyChoir #GospelChoir #SongsOfPraise #BBCSongsOfPraise (CHORUS AND VERSE 1) All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small. All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all! Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings. He made their glowing colours, And made their tiny wings. (CHORUS AND VERSE 2) All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small. All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all! The purple headed mountains, The rivers running by. The sunset and the morning, That brightens up the sky. (CHORUS AND VERSE 3) All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small. All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all! The rich man in his castle, The poor man at his gate. God made them, high or lowly, And ordered their estate. (CHORUS AND VERSE 4) All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small. All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all! The tall trees in the greenwood, The meadows where we play. The rushes by the water, We gather everyday. (CHORUS AND VERSE 5) All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small. All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all! The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun. The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them everyone. (CHORUS AND VERSE 6) All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small. All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all! He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell. How great is the Almighty, Who has made all things well. (CHORUS AND CONCLUSION) All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small. All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all!

This is great, Rob! Is Mothering Sunday a Welsh tradition? I had never heard of it until you mentioned it on your title page of this, first in this series of fine videos.... Thank you as always for taking the time and making the effort to produce your videos....
We celebrate Mothering Sunday in the Church of England too, however the meaning seems to have been somewhat lost and often replaced with Mother's Day. Mothering Sunday is actually about celebrating Mother Church rather than our own Mothers. Sadly, since my own mother died I found I had to avoid services on this day as constant references to our own mothers to please and pull in the masses became too upsetting and instead would attend only Evensong on this day.
@@murielcadilhac3003 hi Muriel I love this hymn too and Immortal invisible God only wise .by the way your picture is lovely..Glynn n Greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands 🌷🤗🤗
That organ really has a pretty sound I love nice organ hymns what a blessing
Many Thanks!
No matter what time of year it may be this Hymn has something special about it.

Jews don't bother anyone with religion their too busy making money

I'm the pianist in the school choir and I play this hymn
The good old 'Bernard Matthews' :) All things bright and bootiful, really bootiful...
ok ish Rob but i was looking forward to you playing the other tune to this, "Royal Oak" thats my favorite.
Very nicely played, capturing the majesty of the song very well, bringing back memories of my childhood church and glorifying God in the process.

The rich man in his castle,

And ordered their estate.
That's Cool! :)
And also too note Johnny Cash stayed in the castle with his family in 1990s during Halloween.
