I am an adventist Christian but have full respect for other Christian churchs and religion; Its incredibly spectacular how a single hym Can unite us all towards God, despite our differences
As I was feeling some very old and deep emotional pain this evening, this song suddenly popped into my mind. Many years ago, I had sang it at a friend's wedding. I googled it and found this most beautiful performance. How powerful the Lord can minister His peace through it ...
I have felt myself pulling away from God these past couple years and this has made me realize that I don't want to be away from gods beautiful people and place.
I just read the comment about pulling away from God. this beautiful music is what pulled me to church .... that comforted me ... that made me feel that God is in me, with me, surrounding me with love.
I just read the comment about pulling away from God. this beautiful music is what pulled me to church .... that comforted me ... that made me feel that God is in me, with me, surrounding me with love.
The words "and give you peace", repeated four times, was deeply touching.. I am reminded of an old German saint and quoting her as I remember what she said. "The world mocks our joy and scoffs at our love but it envies our peace."
Can you tell me who said that quote and if there is a fuller version? It’s very powerful and I’d like to share it but I’d like to know it’s source and speaker. Thank you.
This has been a favorite of mine since I sang it in several choirs throughout my teenage and young adult years. The lyrics came to my mind tonight as I struggle to find peace in a chaotic, suffering world. "And give you peace..."
Ditto. I sang it with a choir years ago. I went to church today and a recording of it was played during communion. I sang it from start to finish then started crying afterwards. Good memories 😊
This is truly beautiful. I am not religious, but how can anyone not be moved by this wonderful music, and boys with voices like angels. It was played on the entrance to my father's funeral (during the first lockdown, only 10 of us allowed). The men have wonderful voices too of course.
Religion won't get you into heaven. Only Jesus Christ and a personal relationship with him alone can do that. So it's not about religion, it's about salvation.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic I'm not looking into getting to heaven, or to be 'saved' thanks very much. I just love this beautiful music.My friend moved to North Carolina, and her 16 year old daughter was quite scared by how much everyone wanted to 'save' her. Each to their own please.
I used to be in a large choir and when we sang this, I couldn't imagine that people felt closer to God when they listened to it, than I did singing it! Absolutely heavenly!
We still can see HM Queen Elizabeth II is still alive here with her husband, Prince Phillip. Updates, from 2022, Prince Phillip and The Queen are no longer with us. Rest in peace both beautiful souls!
It’s BECAUSE they are there it reminds us of how beautiful our green and pleasant land once was. What update do you want. Complete woke? Would that satisfy you?
We need this TODAY during the Covid pandemic and also during all the unrest in our beautiful country, an unrest which threatens to tear down our statues and destroy our beloved traditions.
Numbers 6:24,25,26 The Priestly Blessing '' The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace God bless you ! and Happy New Year!
Eventually I always come back to this. For peace, for strength, for comfort. It is so powerful and yet so soothing. This shall be played on my funeral, as a final treat. ❤️
It is so neat to see the Queen recognize, I believe, the King of Kings above all earthly powers by bowing her head. Worthy is the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world.
I sang alto to this song in the national catholic youth choir camp in Minnesota. It was literally the best thing ever; it was the highlight of my summer for sure.
My chamber choir sang this my senior year of high school. Twenty-four years later, here I am, finding a version of it to share with my fiance. The harmonies still give me chills, and it meant--and means--even more since giving my life to the Lord the year before we sang it. So, so beautiful. And those boys... Amazing. Like someone else so aptly said, it's like angels singing.
The acoustics for this recording were very good. Other choirs singing this hymn are hard to hear due to bad audio. The purity of the high notes of these boys - Bellissimo!
God can use anyone for His purpose; Rutter has the grace to fulfill it. Deep down, I believe Rutter's heart believes, but circumstances led him into doubt. We cannot truly known ANYONE, sometimes, not even ourselves. The same goes for Vaughan Williams. BEAUTIFUL.
I absolutely love this rendition. It is my dream one day to be able to sit in attendance at Saint George's Cathedral to listen to this choir sing the great hymns that God has placed in the hearts of men and women. To GOD be all the praise!!!
I spent two years singing in school choir in the UK back in sixith form, this wonderful hymn brings back all the amazing memories of my teenage period. I miss my highschool and I love british culture
The words are from Numbers 6:24-26 in the Old Testament. A wonderful composition~! I heard that this was Queen Elizabeth the II's favorite psalm. Thanks for posting.
These John Rutter songs are so well done by the Westminster Abbey boys choir, their voices are truly angelic and simply incredible along with the lower mens voices. Who needs a castrati anymore? These guys got it done just fine!
Imagine for a moment how your spirit with feel if you became a believer. Jesus loves you, HE really really loves you!! How do I know? Because HE loves me too ❤
My God bless everyone at this time especially those of us with cancer.We will get through this and the world will return to normal. we will go out again and football will start again that is what is keeping me going at this time. We all need hope.
"You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things."
Oh, that's easy,...I can trust in God and the children. Hey don't lie as to what's been done. Their hearing and ears speak volumes, don't they now. Dr. 👍🏻👼
Please how ?
Am a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down 😭 of myself because of low finance but I still believe God😞
It's Maria Angelina Alexander doing she's changed my life. A BROKER- like her is what you need.
$356K monthly is something you should feel differently about....
Lovely! I enjoyed it like I enjoy a $100k monthly around the turn!!!
When the boys in this choir hit that glorious high note towards the end of composition, it's as if angels in heaven are singing!
too high pitched for me. Should've gotten a Tenor.
For me John Rutter is one of the greatest composers of the present age. Greetings from Germany.
I certainly agree with you and have said the same to my choral students over the years.
Yet he isn't knighted? I am confused!
He is the second Chorister Composer of these British Isles - the other one is Sir John Stainer of 1840 to 1901
@@gunnanusit1956 I’m constantly baffled by this but there must some politics going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about
I can't believe he can write such beautiful Christian music and be an atheist.

Oh that's gorgeous and so true Reverend.
Thanks, Father. I needed that, need to preserve it in my heart.
So true!
Sweet, melodic and pure. Rutter is always a joy to listen to and sing. The Anglican musical tradition is something I greatly admire.

God bless you ! and Happy New Year!
WOW if human choirs can sound like this, imagine what angelic choirs sound like.
I hear the angels singing on high! O what blessing!
John Rutter makes AMAZING music.
My brethren in Christ please pray God to do His will on me, as it is in Heaven and to fulfill HIS words, may God bless you those who pray for me Amen.
Never heard this choir before, this is so good and relaxing🥺the way they sing is amazing, can listen to this over and over.
This always gve me chills.. Everytime🙏🙏🙏
I feel the same...
Yes just angelic especially at the end.
Brings tears to my eyes..😢..very soulful song...May God bless us all...coming from a Roman Catholic Christian and a British Monarchy fan...❤
Eventually I always come back to this. For peace, for strength, for comfort. It is so powerful and yet so soothing.
This shall be played on my funeral, as a final treat. ❤️
I agree. I had this played at my mums funeral and I want it too. Sublime.
And mine too
Have it played by all means, but do remember that you won't actually hear anything at your own funeral.
i feel the same way...make myself closer to Him..
This hymn is a magnificent piece of music put to fabulous words by the great John Rutter.
Before John Rutter it was beautifully arranged in 1900 by Peter Lutkin. For decades it was known as the “Lutkin Amen.”
It is done Lord My God, I commit everything into thy mighty hands in Jesus name Amen.
Beautiful choir boys singing gives me peace at this sad time losing a beautiful friend she in heave in Jesus arms caring for her now R.I.P
I'm so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your friend. B
I’ve never heard this rendition before. It’s beautiful 🥲✨♥️
Me too.... and it's just equally heavenly..

the high notes can be irritating.
Praise the Lord! I couldn't imagine what will heaven like with angels singing praises all the time. :.)
It's going to BLOW YOUR MIND 😊💖
Praise be your holy name lord Jesus.
🙏🙏
Love speaks far more deeper than thought.
What I find most moving is the realisation that this beautiful prayer is being sung for the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
Beautiful hymn beautiful choir
Glorious...I had the honor of being conducted by the great John Rutter in June of 2007 (Carnegie Hall). I will never ever forget that day !
I'm in love with this song.
I'm not a Christian but this song touches my heart
Same here
Jesus loves you, God bless you :)
John Rutter - one of our very best composers. His music is magnificent.
i come (back) here when i'm down or have a bad day....😌
I sing in a choir and you should to because it is a wonderful thing to do and it is fun
RIP Queen Elizabeth.
Amen.
🙏🙏🌹🌹
Still my Queen.
Everybody can argue about the religions of John Rutter ,but nobody can argue about his great love for church music
Likewise Vaughan Williams. He was an atheist, but composed some of the most beautiful, meaningful, and beloved music for the Anglican church.
God can use anyone for His purpose; Rutter has the grace to fulfill it. Deep down, I believe Rutter's heart believes, but circumstances led him into doubt. We cannot truly known ANYONE, sometimes, not even ourselves. The same goes for Vaughan Williams. BEAUTIFUL.

Как же люблю эту песню.спасибо за такое прекрасейшее исполнение...трогательно...опять хочу в хор...
Absolutely beautiful.... goosebumps. When this was performed at the royal wedding today, I was really moved.
I spent two years singing in school choir in the UK back in sixith form, this wonderful hymn brings back all the amazing memories of my teenage period. I miss my highschool and I love british culture
To my grand daughter, the epitome of the innocence we all come into the world with. Let's hope, those entitled to her care can say the same one day.
THIS ANOTHER GREAT ANTHEM SUNG IN ANGLICAN CHURCHES, WHAT A GREAT CHOIR THIS CHOIR IS..WESTMINSTER ABBEY,,WHAT MORE CAN ONE SAY.
We sang this song in my church choir and I was one of the people who sang it with them. That was before COVID hit though. I miss singing.
There's a chord in this piece that literally takes you to heaven for two seconds... stunning!!!
The words are from Numbers 6:24-26 in the Old Testament. A wonderful composition~! I heard that this was Queen Elizabeth the II's favorite psalm. Thanks for posting.
Great to discover this great choir that performed credibly and the Organist dexterity is apt. Love from Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬
Where this melody line came from only John knows. Emotional, and huantingly beautiful.
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
- I John 3:1
My absolute favourite hymn by John Rutter, my favourite contemporary composer of Christian music. It brings me to tears every single time.
Dios dame la oportunidad de presenciar esta maravilla...amo ser catolica!!!...que viva CRISTO rey
The simphony, the sing, the garment, the church, all things are precious, and the poor souls singing to Jesus, Our Lord and Saviour🙏✝️🙌
may the Lord be praise and magnify AMEN
These John Rutter songs are so well done by the Westminster Abbey boys choir, their voices are truly angelic and simply incredible along with the lower mens voices. Who needs a castrati anymore? These guys got it done just fine!
I sang this so many years ago in Male Chorale at Point Loma Nazarene College/University. What a great way to end any choral performance.🙏✝️🕊
I'm brazilian and i would like to be a anglican chorist. Specialy in Canterbury Abbey. Just a dream. Maybe come true. I love High-Church lithurgy.
Oh my lord
The song is very peaceful and it is the most beautiful song I heard before
This touched my heart to the deepest ❤
Прекрасное сочетание мужских голосов, хора мальчиков, звуков органа, усиливающееся великолепной акустикой воспринимается как нечто божественное, спускающееся с небес.
This prayer was made even more effecting when one realises that the words of the blessing are being directed towards HM and Prince Philip.

Innocent woman, perfect in every way, God saw. GOD GAVE THE WORDS.
