Music like this fills the soul with thanksgiving in appreciation for the years of study it took to get this young organist to the keys today. Play on, Brother, play on.
In his novel "The Idiot" by Dostoevsky, a character asks: "What beauty will save the world?" I think that, maybe not the whole world, but with this video, you've saved some souls!
I agree. Young men are rarely learning to play organ, the king of instruments! Ive been an organist in my church for approx 40 yrs. and will continue to play as God gives me strength!
Restoring my soul after so many years of singing these lovely hymns at varying churches in varying choirs! Thank you… great playing and so good to see a younger organist who is probably into many genres of music! 😊
O WHAT Heavenly GLORY!! I well remember 50+ years ago the dear old Saints of the old First Baptist Church in Downtown Hattiesburg making such "A Joyful Sound" singing with such sincere Faith & fervour these very same sacred classic Christian Hymns!..And such a young Grand Church Organist of The Highest Order! (What I just maybe coulda-woulda-shoulda been--but THIS YOUNG Miracle Man is truly living the wonderful Dream..)
I began organ lessons when I was twelve years old. I studied under Dr. Richard M. Peek at The Covenant Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was one of the world's great hymnists. I have spent so much time trying to play hymns as he did. You have the makings of a great hymnist and organist. Thank you and God bless in Jesus' name and for His sake, for He is worthy. Amen
What a joy to hear this wonderful, sensitive compilation of well loved hymns. Takes me back to my childhood of choir singing in church . Such a range of emotion. I am in tears.
Glorious❤ to hear the majestic swell of the organ makes my heart sing. Thank you for this beautiful compilation of certainly my favorite hymns. I sang heartily along with wireless whilst preparing for work. May you be blessed more than you have blessed me today
I can feel that organ bench vibrating. Whatever the downside of UA-cam, this only goes to prove how it can be used for a positive purpose. Talent is a gift, but to perfect it requires hours of hard work. The pleasure your playing brings to people is a reflection of that effort.
Sorry they are not just Anglican hymns. I was bought up in the Presbyterian church and know probably all of the ones you played well. A great inspiring combination.
What makes you a complete organist is the standard of your hymn playing which is the first and foremost ingredient of a true organist. You are playing with reverence and dignity and the tempo and legato touch are perfect. You are playing the words and varying the registration between verses, something which is sometimes sadly overlooked by some organists. I always find having a Christian faith gives you the inspiration to play hymns, which are prayers. You are a complete star, Matt and I am sure you receive so many compliments. I am certainly complimenting you to the highest degree as you are a shining example of what any potential church organist show aim for. You will receive many blessings for praising God with your music in this video because it is form of evangelism.
Congratulations to the wonderful organist - heavenly in peace, beauty in Gods creation and divine in harmony- simply beautiful and blessed in Gods House. ❤❤❤
Lovely Hyms, which are played My grandfather Percy Samuel Edwards has told our family members and friends. All funeral hymns can be sung whenever they are required. It's all man made idea's to separate some song for funeral and some whenever it's required But im telling Beloved people. Sing these songs wherever you want and sing to your kids. I was 4 years old when I sang this song at my school chapel Saint george's high second school Madras South INDIA. My Papa is no more, but I still sing. I'm 47 now. We go to Holy Cross Church ⛪️ It was the Church of England, and now it's Church of South INDIA. God bless your soul, Papa and Nana ❤😢
Wonderful selection….takes me back to the days when I used to regularly play a number of them. It was as mostly on the piano, but I got to play some on church organs too!
Beautiful. Hymns,The day thou gavest Lord is ended,& Dear Lord and Father of Mankind..love so much . As the Carol ,Once in Royal David's City,Sends chivers down my spine .As a Choir Boy many moons ago I had to sing the first Verse solo.Thank you for your Excellence in all.A pure gift from God.
Just a compilation of the world's most beautiful hymns! Have been looking for this kind of 'simple' recordings for months and you just uploaded them here. I'm a jazz musician and started playing church organ only recently but this is so magnificent. If only I could play like this in a few years. Luckily I have the keys to the Pelgrim father's church in Rotterdam so I can go there any time to practice and study! Thank you for this great video! Instant favorite.
I am enjoying all of these wonderful hymns you play so beautifully. I love when you play with full chords that echo throughout the church. Great work, Matt. ♥
Really beautiful. Thank you and God bless your talent. May you continue to to play beautiful music. Many hymns took me back 40 years as a student Chaplain in Selly Oak hospital, Birmingham.
Wow! Just Beautiful all way around--the amazing inspiriring talent from one so young, wonderful cherished old hymns played flawlessly on a perfect sounding pipe organ, and in a gorgeous church too. Thank you so much for this comforting blessing. ✝❤😊
Enjoying your organ music from Sri Lanka. Being a church organist I really enjoy and learn from your music...some tunes and changing tones. Lovely music. May God's abundant blessings be upon you always.
Well done & thank you so much for making the music come alive as it should ! Sadly in so many of our Cathedrals & great Churches it has become a sort of maths correct but no joy in it. You enjoy what you do & it shows .
You play so beautifully. As a church musician myself, I enjoy your playing immensely. I also love what you are doing with the organ that is so new and different….especially the music of ABBA and the combination of classical and secular music. Keep sharing your music!
I was watching and listening to this beautiful video in my bed and eventually fell asleep with those beautiful notes playing, it don’t get any better than that, your music sending a habitual insomniac into a beautiful sleep. Thank you Matt, I did watch and listen the very next day and enjoyed every second of your beautiful performance. God bless you always. 🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎼❤️
I just started following you here on You Tube. I have seen the snips on Instagram for a while. I truely enjoy how you bring the old and the new together. Thank you for that.
This is heartwarming, calming, and making me thanking God and thinking about my faith in Christ. I shed some tears whenever I come back and hear some pieces in this video. You’re a blessing for a lot of folks and may God bless you with abundance and may He keep you in his own way 🙏🏻
Thank you for your skilful and emotive rendering of these classical hymns! They brought the Bible and other Christians' experience of our God, to life!
Love your playing. I struggle playing the piano and Tell out my soul for some reason find particularly hard. I wish I could play the organ with all the feet notes aswell. I can just about play with the written notes but would love to be able to change key. I guess I should have learnt my scales more lol
That was a stunning arrangement of some beautiful old hymns. I always tear up when I hear Abide with me, I played it for my Mum after Dads funeral. You have a really bright future ahead of you Matt, glad to have been at the start of it. Look forward to following your musical career as it gets huge 🤪
Thankyou, very moving! Some of the hymns are all following on in the same continuous key. This makes your performance sound amazing as you join the hymns together.
To me, the pipe organ is God's voice directly speaking to our souls with it's booming sound and majesty. Thank you for playing here.
Music like this fills the soul with thanksgiving in appreciation for the years of study it took to get this young organist to the keys today. Play on, Brother, play on.
This is timeless Worship - Music , just beautifully played !!!
In his novel "The Idiot" by Dostoevsky, a character asks: "What beauty will save the world?" I think that, maybe not the whole world, but with this video, you've saved some souls!

Pięknie powiedziane... !😊
Pięknie powiedziane... !
Protestant ones. Not a Catholic hymn in sight
I agree. Young men are rarely learning to play organ, the king of instruments! Ive been an organist in my church for approx 40 yrs. and will continue to play as God gives me strength!
There aren’t words to express myself for hearing your God given gift of music and the great organ, bless you on you journey.
Give me these old Anglican hymns any time rather than bland forgettable modern worship music. Thank you for this collection.
God bless your fingers my friend❤️
Restoring my soul after so many years of singing these lovely hymns at varying churches in varying choirs! Thank you… great playing and so good to see a younger organist who is probably into many genres of music! 😊
❤❤🎉in search for sweet hymnal I landed on this. God, thank you for feeding my soul through his talent. Remain blessed dear organist.

You are absolutely fantastic....playing these great hymns as they should be played. Such dignity!!!
And one so young. What a gift to play so masterfully to the Glory of God.
This must be near or similar to the sound that fills the heavenlies?! ✝🎵❤
What a joy to hear this wonderful, sensitive compilation of well loved hymns. Takes me back to my childhood of choir singing in church . Such a range of emotion. I am in tears.
Oh such truth as I wipe my eyes, thank you.
Awesome and uplifting collection from a talented young organist 🙏
As a child from Bermondsey, South London I spent many summers at Downside and this brings back so many memories
Wonderful organist. Beautiful hymns

I love these Anglican hymns. So beautiful
Sorry they are not just Anglican hymns. I was bought up in the Presbyterian church and know probably all of the ones you played well. A great inspiring combination.
@ianclark2840 Thank you Sir. I was baptized by a pastor belonging to the Presbyterian church. I really appreciate it.
As a Dutch I recognize many of these songs, beautiful performance!
And I listen to music from Urk- it opened my heart.
