How Great Thou Art - Tribute 4 Audrey 

2024… anyone!?!?!?

Not one Maori can hold back tears when this song is being sung. We automatically get taken back to our past loved ones being carried out in a casket. 😭

Who is here during Covid 19.. blessed

My mom surrendered to cancer after a 30 year battle... and went home to be with The LORD in 1992. Her name was Audrey. Thank you for this beautiful song.

Audrey was a neighbour of mine as kids growing up , her nickname as a kid was poodle because of her curly hair , I’ve lived overseas for 40 years , it’s amazing the things you stumble across on the internet , RIP

Is it just me or is it that everyone in New Zealand and Australia knows how to sing period?

Not gonna lie, I've probably contributed around a thousand of the views. Amazing tribute from a beautiful whanau!

When Christ shall come, With shouts of acclamation, And take me home, What joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow In humble adoration And there proclaim, "My God, how great Thou art!" … Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art! Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

Whakaaria mai Tōu rīpeka ki au Tiaho mai Rā roto i te pō Hei kona au Titiro atu ai. Ora, mate, Hei au koe noho ai

Anyone here November 2019? 😁

You know these guys are blessed with God given voices! No suprise with hearing a beautiful song sung by Samoans and Maori together! Voices of Polynesia or the South Pacific

Oct 2023 - Still playing this Heavenly Master-piece. Stan and Vince, 2 of NZ's most beloved Taonga's/Treasure's. I'm Samoan🇼🇸 but I have a deep love for the Maori culture. Dear Heavenly Father... if my soul-mate ain't Maori Wahine, just let me be single forever 😂🌹🇳🇿🇼🇸

I listen to this Version often. So Glad I accidentally came acrossed it! What a Blessing! Much Love

Such a beautiful rendition of that beautiful hymn "How great thou Art " ! How I love my Savior My daddy got his Angel wings in Heaven !! after a long battle with Prostrate Cancer !! He served his Lord and Saviour all his life !! and such a wonderful reception He must have felt when he finally met His Heavenly Father Jesus and his mammy who died when he was 10 yrs old I loved my daddy more that any descriptive word I could write on this page He was my everything I cried so hard when he died !! I was so broken He was my everything !! He heard my cry and came back from another 20 mins ! Then went to be with his Lord and Saviour I can’t wait to see him again also my mummy who is now dementia free !! God will keep them safe till I see them all again ! Thanks so much for this beautiful rendition of "How great thou Art " ! I will play it many times Hugs many Hugs I send to you all from N.ireland

Aloha from a Hawai'i, we love this rendition and it always moves us and touches our hearts. Beautifully done Ohana. Praise to You Lord Jesus Christ! Thanks be to God!

ummmm. when you guys sang this song, and made this video, i don't think you knew the impact it would make on some of the people who watched it. your rendition/version of this song is so beautiful...from the family aspect, to the voices, to the harmonization, to the inflection...that it can easily bring tears to one's eyes. it really was a gift hearing/experiencing this video. ) =)

Gosh Im still watching it in 2018 .

I lost my wonderful daughter 39y9m old to cancer 13/04/22 and this gave me some closure - thank you

They are amazing! Stan Walker is awesome

This is soooo BEAUTIFUL!! What a joyful sound unto the LORD!!! 🙏🏼✝️🙌🏼

The last girl gives me the chills!!! wow

This version still gives me chicken skin (goosebumps) six years later. Great rendition ♥️

Hearing this song growing up at the marae, during the funerals and hearing the nannies wail. Ahhhh brings tears to my eyes and ache in my heart every time I hear this song

A glorious rendition, sung as if they meant every word! Have had this on repeat since I found it earlier today. Thank you! May the truth of it continue to reach many hearts ♥️ “Show Your Cross to me, Let it shine there in the darkness. To there I will be looking in life, in death let me rest in Thee” 😍

Thoughts are with Christchurch Today Whanau. . . 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

Dealing with homeless rn, got this song on repeat. Gives me hope and reassurance that things will get better for me during this difficult time in my life

o...m....g... I'm not a Maori.. but, I too could not hold back the tears. This is absolutely glorious, and so humbling to bear witness not only to the love of your lost one, but your collective love of God.. What a privilege it has been tonight to be able to hear this!

Wow. Audrey would have been so blessed to hear such an outpouring of love and passion.

I wish they sang for christchurch victims, they need this right now, New Zealand has a heavy heart at the moment. RIP 🥀

3:19 omg i love her voice

This was sung at my father in laws funeral too. Growing up as a kid in church there was always something about this song that made me listen. It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end like no hillsong EVER will.

My dearest Uncle just passed yesterday. I'm here listening to this as due to Covid I can't be in New Zealand for his tangi (funeral). This will be sung first in Maori and then English as he is laid to rest, no doubt. Rest easy my sweet Uncle xxxx

My grandmother was fighting breast cancer and she eventually won. Years down the line the fight came back and it was so ugggghh.... it was so much pain for her. Her might was still oh so strong. The night of her passing she called to me but I had told her I had things to do. I went to sleep and all I could hear is my mother calling out for my grandmother. All she wanted was a hug from me. Uggggh ma I love and miss you... your home now and I couldn’t be more happy for you Aulelei. I’ll see you when I see you ma!💙 stay strong to all those in the war against cancer. We aren’t promised tomorrow, but we are promised Heavenly Fathers love. Aloha and Alofa to all💕🤙🏽

iheard this when it first made its way to youtube years ago . icried like a little kid for mymummy who had passed away 2yrs prior to me hearing this version . ijust listened to again tonight and icried like a little baby once again for mymummy . this song will always reach mysoul in the truest form of love xo thankyou all so much for singing this song 🤍🕊️

As I face my own battle with cancer and losing my mum to cancer, this gives me strength and hope

When there are God blessed singers like this in the world, nobody needs radio . I come to RU-vid for God given talent. I love this

this is one of the most beautiful renditions of this song I've ever heard.

Girl in the black dress killed it at the end! WOW! So beautiful!!

from 3:42 Mr Zoo York you had me in tears I was gone and you was sangin to the almighty... God is great God is good..... Amen

Rest in Power, Audrey Phillips. Stunningly beautiful performance. Mahalo and blessings from Kauai.

I was 12 years old when I first watched this. 10 years later still get the feeling I got when I first watched it 💯 Beautiful Vocals

Praise the Lord for such an amazing gift that is music. Congrats guys, you for sure did Him proud!

Beautiful, beautiful beautiful both my mother and father lost to cancer, and this my favourite hymn too. We sang this for them. Love from UK.

this was so powerful and uplifting. How great thou art indeed!

Let me a get a thumbs up for the people here in 2020. 🤙🏽🤙🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Beautiful, all of you.

Brutha's & sister's Woaaa my heart bends & weeps at the sound of the joy of this hymn. Praise be to GOD. Thank U all for sharing. Arohanui

Ah i came here from England in 1986 to have a look around and this video highlights precisely why i never left! Moved to tears at the beauty and emotion of this sound that is uniquely honest, uniquely Aotearoa and as fine a piece of gospel as anything worldwide! So sorry you lost Audrey but so thankful and joyful to hear this..

Them fortunate harmonies was 🔥🔥

Wow! I'm crying again. It's been a while since Audrey passed but this video still reduces me to sobbing and tears every time I see it. It is so beautiful and emotional. One, because of the powerful singing by some extremely gifted and talented people and two, because I knew Audrey and her family well back in the day in Christchurch, and that photo of her at the end of the video overwhelms me with emotion. Audrey played basketball for Minties and I played for a different club, Halswell and we struck up a friendship on and off the court. I have photos of her and her whanau. Audrey was a beautiful wahine and is still remembered with love by the basketball community in Christchurch. RIP Audrey.

If you want to understand the history of Stan Walkers family with cancer- watch Stan walkers story. It’s amazing what this family has been through. Bless you all and thank you for such an uplifting song 🙏🏻❤️

These singers that sacrificed their time, have a major healing quality. I think it’s not only angelic, but loving and complete.

Having Pacific islander blood makes my heart just grin from ear to ear hearing this

We have sung this in our Baptist Church all my life, makes me cry every time I hear it , it's such a beautiful touching song. Don't know who really wrote it can't believe the history books

Am I the only one who noticed Stan Walker and Fortunate..? This is so beautiful!!

2020 still in love with this rendition.. Stan walker, Vince Harder OMG .. u 2 are amazing everyone here are all talented and blessed with GREAT voices.

yo....this. I'm in tears right now.

im indigenous Australian and i dont know the words are exactly. But i feel every chord. Wow. Thank you for sharing. xo

Still listening to this on a daily base! One of my favorites...

Love n respect from Mandurah, Perth West Aussie

Anointed!! I felt God's spirit all around while hearing this song!! God Bless all of you!

My 1.6 millionth time watching. So blessed 🙏 RIL Audrey ♥️

This is my favorite hymn, and this rendition...goosebumps and tears! Wow, how great Thou art!

I lost my mom this mother's day she was my example of faith. Cancer can't hold her anymore her joy is complete in Jesus

Whakaaria mai Tōu rīpeka ki au Tiaho mai Rā roto i te pō Hei kona au Titiro atu ai. Ora, mate, Hei au koe noho ai Show your cross to me. Let it shine there in the darkness. To there I will be looking. In life, in death, let me rest in thee.

2021 anyone?❤ Blessed the voices Praise the Lord

WOW.... You guys are amazing and have really just blessed my soul!!! This is my 99 year old grandmothers favorite song! She turns 100 on March 29 of this year.......

I keep coming back to this video. I’m not even a Christian, but there’s something special about this song and the way it’s performed in this video. ❤️

OMG, are the singers listed??? Btw its a blessing to see Poly talent praising God and uplifting those in similar situations. MUCH love your way!!!

Amazing voices!! Jesus gave these gifts to you all! Thank you Jesus! Thank you for sharing your God given talent with us!😇🙏🙏

The guy with the hat behind the guy with the guitar I LOOOOOOVE HIS VOICE

This exact song has one heck of a strong punch with both the Maori and English version. This is what talent really is.

So proud to b a Maori an one of my favorite hyms aswell beautiful

This is both of my grandmothers' favorite song...one past away last year, and her funeral was on my birthday which is tomorrow...the other had an exploritory surgery done on her brain roughly 10 years ago now....they gave her limited time, and its been almost 10 years. When i lose her, ill lose everything. That woman is my life but it caused her to have a stroke and be full paralyzed on the right side..her speech is still only MAYBE 10% of what it was. I left church several years ago because i gave up on a LOT. I was angry. I was hurt. I was devastated. Id lost my best friend..the woman who raised me for a huge chunk of my childhood. Thank you for letting me be able to breathe through the rough time of always having the thought of the possibility that i could wake up one day to her being called home. Very much so needed. Love you all..god bless

Naaw, love you Audrey. You're gone, but never forgotten. Only time separates as we continue to run the race here on earth xx

Absolutely awesome

This is the most amazing and best How Great Thou Art out there.

This was so beautiful. 😢😢😢

I've been watching this for like 2 years and am ALWAYS blown away. Absolutely stunning version of a beautiful hymn. RIP Audrey xx

This video means so much to me. Just a month ago, my family received some heartbreaking news that my mom has Neuroendocrine cancer and that it is in a Terminal stage. She was told that she should get her affairs in order and that in their professional medical opinion she has 3 to 6 months. 2 of the Docs said afterward, that despite their medical opinion , God is the Only one who can make that decision and that we must not waver in our faith in Him. Such a blessing to have docs that believe that and encourage us to have faith. This just hit my heart in such a beautiful way. I felt the spirit very strongly.

I don't think I can even begin to describe how much you all just touched me. I am literally in tears. Thank you so much for sharing this. You blessed me today and I didn't even know I needed to hear this!

A wonderful tribute to Audrey Phillips and God. Touching and filled with love.

This is one of the most beautiful versions I've ever heard

I start and end every day with this video ever since 2020

They all sung very beautifully but Stan Walker just seems to be on another level! Well done to you all. My condolences!

Still listening to this, one of my fav renditions 😇

Nothing is more beautiful then listening to a song sung in Maori. Literally! Use definitely took us to church and back. Tino Ataahua. Perfect!

lost mom to cancer 6 years ago...thank you for this upload, it reminds me that GOD is still on the throne..GOD bless my pacific Brothers and sisters.

This was absolutely beautiful! God bless

OMG, how beautiful, such sweet harmonies, crying......

I've listened to this song so many times...To God be all the Glory

fuck, how do you pack a whole room with talent and soul? thank you guys.... thank you for the song...............

So much soul I cant handle it! Too much soul to only listen to it once. On repeat

Omg...I can’t... This group... I just watched again and just when I felt everyone’s spirit I find another persons voice like WOW!! Can they play this video at my funeral...and then just AMEN and bury me...this song and these talented people are like 😳😳😳 I think these people with this talent have NO IDEA HOW MANY HEARTS THEY’VE TOUCHED JUST BY SHARING THEIR TALENTS....man, the Lord has blessed y’all so much that this song is so STRONG that Satan himself bowed his head in reverence. No words to describe Beautiful and Majestic

May our Lord Jesus BLESS YOU guys . This was just amazing and brought tears in my eyes . God bless you

Tears every time
