O Boundless Salvation (The Founder's Song) played by the Northern Youth Band, to accompany the entry of the flags at Sunderland Millfield's 122nd Corps Anniversary Celebrations.
The Lord asked me to sing this song in my Non Denominational church. I will though I don’t usually solo. In listening to this and other SA songs just balling; the Lord set my perspective right…He corrected me in great love, “Daughter, your covenant is with me…not The Army. It has always been with me.” He’s so good
Yes & no. I played baritone, and coronet. But ended up as the pianist for 15 years. Also lead timbrels for 3 years. Quite unusual for a guy, but there was no one else.
I Really Miss the Really Really old time Army Songs that are Hardly Sung now days and Also miss the Open Airs on a Sunday Night and the Marches Back to the Army Hall and the Evening 6pm Meetings
ONE OF MY MODT FAVOURABLE HYMNS...GROWING UP AS A SALVATION army SOLDIER...this makes me cry but it,s joyful TEARS.I still feel from the hymn what I felt growing up in Northern Newfoundland in the fifties.God bless you all.Never give up!
Have always loved this song of praise. It stirs the soul no matter what situation you are in at the time of hearing it. So thankful for my Savior and guide. Jesus.
May this tune and these words burn themselves into the hearts and souls of many of Christ's people, and so prepare them for His soon coming. Maranatha!
When it was the centenary of Rochdale Citadel the corps marched through the town up the hill to the Parish Church. The senior band led off then, slap bang in the middle of town the YP Band, in which I played E flat bass, struck up this song.It was one of those hair raising moments. The entire corps Marching along to O Boundless Salvation. Just the simple hymn tune arrangement played by these youngsters in the swinging sixties. Hells foundations must have been shaking. Our Saviour rejoicing. Simple arrangement occasionally imperfectly played and believe me, the Staff Band could not have moved the Spirit more.
My favourite song it was sung at my fathers funeral at Easter of this year. Was also a request at our farewell meeting before we moved to the other part of the country. It’s a killer for the band though if all 7 verses are played 😝
Che dio vi benedica grandemente tutti ora e in eterno gloria eterna a dio padre gloria eterna a Gesù cristo gloria eterna allo spirito santo nei secoli dei secoli senza fine amen alleluyia
My father use to go to the salvation army in idle uk he could sing o boundless salvation ,he got a bit disolutioned not with the old general but with some of the soldiers remembering what the old generaluse to say many a Saint under a bowler hat and many a devil under a salvation army bonnet , that was the company guard
As and ex salvo, I haven't lost my faith in Christ, just in the army. I've seen too much in my corp to ever think of being part again. Too much theft of property & money by staff, and denial of help for the needy because of lack of said property & funds. Turned my stomach.
JF////// I was an officer once but was a 'fish out of water'. No spiritual input as promised. Then I found out Jesus was a composite person, so left Christianity. Growth means you sometimes have to leave the past behind.
The founders song just watched a interview with General Linda Bond screemimg get back to basics make the crest the central focus of the hall oh and the bonnet needs to be revived it goes make me laugh that the Bible says women must have their head covered in church yet the men always have their cap on!new and Old Testament gone wrong
