THANK YOU! As a cradle Episcopalian, these hymns are an important part of the history and liturgy of the church. I told my minister that if I ever saw a drum kit up on the chancel, we were gone.
I love it how when people sing, it doesn’t matter what country they’re from or the accent they have. They all simply harmonize and sound like one beautiful choir.
Not all American churches do that. I'm part of a small Anglican Church plant in Austin,Texas and we sing a respectful blend of old and new, mostly old hymns. The new we do sing is good new.
+Christie Thompson Visited church for the first time since I left it. What a letdown! No processional, no choir, no use of the hymnal, no dress code. A "band" urged us to "get with the spirit" and sang one song endlessly in American Idol fashion. The "hymns" were on a teleprompter and sounded like nursery school ditties and the organ could barely be heard above the drums. If god was a cell phone folks were certainly getting in touch,
Magnificent ! This represents the best of the English tradition of church singing: a large cathedral or (in this case) abbey church full of enthusiastic singers being led by an expert choir. As usual, the choristers sing a descant to the final verse, and what an exquisite sound thirty little boys make, when their voices rise above the singing of a thousand people.
It is here! Never was one of Jesus' prayers unanswered… as in "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Heaven is not a place, but rather a state of consciousness… for those who understand. God's will is actually rather simple. It merely require that we love one another. Live in that state of consciousness. You don't have to die to get there. Sent with love. CVD
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (November 24, Christ the King Sunday), I played this as the Closing Hymn. It is #855 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship. So ends the church year.
I found it very moving to see HM and her family singing this hymn. Every Sunday we pray for HM and her family - this glimpse of them at prayer completed a circle for me and underlined the unity of the Crown and people. Beautiful.
We used to sing these grand old hymns in church in the USA. We almost never do anymore, pretty much just singing "praise choruses." But what greater praise to God can be given than the singing of this wonderful old Hymn. We've lost something.
Job Orjioke thank you for saying that you will see that my first comment (above) focussed on the music and sadly forgot the LORD Who inspired it I so often do that I love traditional church music BUT some modern worship songs are very inspired as well Thank you again and to everyone else who gave God the glory in their comments (See also Acts 12.23)
1. Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne, Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, and hail him as thy matchless King through all eternity. 2. Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed o'er the grave, and rose victorious in the strife for those he came to save. His glories now we sing, who died, and rose on high, who died, eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. 3. Crown him the Lord of peace, whose power a scepter sways from pole to pole, that wars may cease, and all be prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end, and round his pierced feet fair flowers of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet. 4. Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, those wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For thou hast died for me; thy praise and glory shall not fail throughout eternity.
+radiootoo I personally rate it as one of The most powerful and anointed hymns in Christendom. It lacked the anointing here; when sung by people who have a relationship with The Lord Jesus Christ the anointing can be picked right away. I did often lead with this when I was once a worship leader.
wow Mr Taylor i love your comments which says you did often lead with this hymn when you were once a worshiper. please I want to know if You are no longer a worshiper.
I will ALWAYS, ALWAYS be a Worshiper; I have long since been a worship leader. I am now nominating for the Senate in the upcoming Australian elections with RUAP a Christian Party.
Westminster is a holy place. And you Anglicans can sing. The people that divided us are long dead. Maybe one day we can all pray together. God bless you ! Best wishes from Hamburg/Germany
@@ernst-dietmarhorstmann4949 I am atheist but if I am gonna chose 1, Its the Queen. Afterall, we need representation but its not all about holyness. Just a namesake/Leader style.👌 She is my Monarch from my birth 'till now - the constant presence of CoE.
@@JV-yd4qg As a German I love Her Majesty. She not only gives strength to Great Britain. She is an Idol for all the politicians in the world. Please respect my faith. I respect You too.
When the Supreme KING of Kings and LORD of Lords, the LORD OUR GOD, who reigns forever in the Heavenly Realm above the Circle of the Earth, ascends to the Heavenly Throne in awesome Majesty and in great Glory, HE is indeed crowned with many Crowns!
It is so wonderful to hear God's Children Praise Him at once! Beautiful and Majestic hymns picked for the Queen's 50th Anniversary Service in 2010! Blessings to All! Lynnae Larson CT USA
"Com Cristo coroai, Cordeiro vencedor!"... em português do Brasil. Lindo, lindo. Maravilhoso esse hino. Obrigado pela partilha. Louvado seja nosso Deus Trino!
Great hymn done beautifully. I can't help but notice all the woman's hats. I wish we wore hats like this in the states. You see a few but not many, even at church.
This is what please the Lord, not contemporary music which may imminently turn the church into a carnal one. These hymns shall never cease and they will be in heaven
Hope you are well after these many years. I must disagree with you on what you state about contemporary Christian worship being somehow inherently invalid. These songs have a beautiful focus on God but contemporary music has its place too!
This is a beautiful Catholic hymn, Matthew Bridges wrote it and set it to music written by Lord Elvey. He converted to Catholicism in 1848 and wrote the hymn in 1851, I believe.
I so enjoy the excellence of British Choirs and Pipe Organs, and am continually amazed at the dispassionate looks on the faces of the Royal Family as "worshippers" Great, great song! Amazing arrangement! Awake my soul and sing!
By the way, I forgot to say that Jesus Christ is the Eternally Begotten Son of the Father Almighty. Yes, He was anointed to become incarnate in human form to pay for the sins of all people throughout all the Universe. I truly believe in Him as the Son of The Eternal Father! He is Christ, the Son of God, eternally begotten of God the Father, as is confessed in the Nicene Creed!
I'm not a theologian--but the Bible says that Christ is both the Son of God and also man. As you know, man does die. This may seem complicated but we're talking about God. The prime point to me, of all of this, is that Jesus was/is without sin and only He could redeem a world filled with lost people, and so He did, thankfully!! And He rose again on the third day, conquering sin, death, hell, and Satan, for us.
@@nigelc.b.durrant8206 the point is that when He became INCARNATE -- literally, en-fleshed -- He took on our humanity, while losing nothing of His divinity, so that He could die to redeem us. @chidlers99, same thing -- His human body died, the ultimate sacrifice for our salvation; but obviously that wasn't the end, because He was also God -- so "He rose as He said He would," on Easter Sunday.
May God Always Save the Queen! May God Aways save the United Kingdom! This is one of my very favorite hymns. Our Lord Jesus Christ is indeed King of Kings and Lord of Lords, anointed by The Father Almighty Himself. Thanks to Alexander Hersh for his lovely post.
A great hymn as I have mentioned previously in another sentence. What a great Choir at Westminster Abbey and Organist. The descant was superb from the boy trebles.
have missed my church choir seen when have lost our great organist and most of members of the choir have gone to another churches, wish everyone happy easter..
I always like the looks on the Royals faces as they look around when those sopranos are reaching those high nots at the top of there lungs. Its kind of funny.
***** The True and Only God IS Just, Merciful, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Almighty, HE restores, HE Heals, HE created all things and filled with HIMSELF. All things was created by HIM and there is nothing either visiable or invisiable that was not created by HIM. HE is The King of Glory!
Oh what a breath of fresh air! You are absolutely right - the ritual, the colour the mystery, the symbolism - all lost by the current obsession to be 'with it' I attended church as a young child and didn't understand very much at other than it was important to my mother - little by little as I grew older the meanings began to dawn on me and I became a believer. There has be a challenge, otherwise the church simply becomes a performance - it's message lost in banal clapping and twanging.
This beautiful hymn goes right into the soul. So powerful. Love my Lord Jesus with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind and all my strength. Wow! 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Nice to know that by singing that hymn that the English Monarch knows that her crown is a temporary thing and that the crowns that Jesus wears are eternal!
That God considers the heart is true ! That man looks at the outward is also true ! God has no objections against people that dress appropriately, so we might as well dress good instead of anything goes. Respect for man is important as well !
To be Clear : ''Him" is in reference to The Lamb of God: Jesus Christ of Nazareth / Yeshua Ha' Mashiach - All Praise, Laud & Honor be unto Him!!! thank you for posting this gorgeous rendition! ` 'Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures: And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures" 1 Cor.15:3-4
These voices are selected from the heavens! My God, how great is your presence on the praise offered to you at Westminster Abbey. What a whim! What love the things of God! Excited over this video so beautiful!
Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne. Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, and hail him as thy matchless king through all eternity. 2 Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed o'er the grave, and rose victorious in the strife for those he came to save; his glories now we sing who died and rose on high, who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, rich wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified; no angels in the sky can fully bear that sight, but downward bends their burning eye at mysteries so bright. 4 Crown him the Lord of years, the potentate of time, creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me; thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity.
The one whose estate only pays taxes they want to pay? Whose son is a moral degenerate who cheated on his wife and harasses parliamentarians which rambling letters urging them to vote how he wants them to vote? Whose grandson married a woman with an abortion, human, sex and drug trafficking and terrorist welcoming open borders agenda?
Music from Westminster Abbey, unmatched, best in the world. Love those old standard Anglican hymns as seen here. Also, seen on youtube from Westminster Abbey: There Is A Green Hill Far Away & Christ The Lord Is Risen Today (Easter). Thankyou for the post.
That day may only dawn when all Christians are faced with the powers of darkness. Who can possibly believe an omnipotent God is concerned with whether one crosses right to left, or left to right - whether one kneels or stands for parayer? You are absolutely correct - amen and God Bless you.
Can you imagine what it will be like in heaven singing this with all the angels and saints? I also love how the ROYALS are singing, humbling themselves before the True King of Kings.
LOVE is far above sexuality, race, cultures etc. LOVE is divine, without it the world would cease to exist. The day you will discover yourself and your love, it will change your life forever and you will become new! Just free yourself of all these bonds and be the spiritual being that you are, may God guide you to LOVE unconditionally! If my message has offended you, then I am sorry and thanks for reading it!
I Remember the Westminster Catechism which inquires " What is the chief end of man? " and it answers " man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever". This video clip is a testimony to that, and is supported by 12 scripture verses from the old and new testament of The Bible, found in the Westminster Catechism. What fragrance indeed in this praise given from the lips of those who form the kingdom of God, and are the salt of the earth.
