Onward, Christian Soldiers arr. by Samuel Metzger 

This is the music that should be played in our places of religious worship

Nice to see so many parishioners! Years ago, most Churches were this full when the Sabbath Day were more fully observed, that's why Church buildings were built this large.

This is one on my favourite hymns, My late father who served in the British Army was carried out of our church to this hymn on the day of his funeral to be taken to his final resting place.. God Bless Dad Miss You

This has to be the most moving and inspirational version of this marvelous hymn I have ever heard! This instrument and rendition in the supremely capable hands of Sam Metzger is absolutely awesome.

Glorious! We need these hymns in our temples, not the world music that we listen at now.

So thankful my grandfather, a former Lutheran pastor, taught me so many great hymns! I will have them in my heart forever! Truly beautiful and deep lyrics compared to our churches nowadays!

I'm a devout Catholic, and I have to admit, I'm kinda jealous of this Presbyterian church. It's got an enormous organ! God bless you all!

So good to hear this old hymn. I love it dearly. The Marxists who have taken over most of the mainline Protestant denominations have mostly banned it. It's why I don't go to church anymore. Instead, I just watch RU-vid videos.

Convinced!! I love anything that Samuel Metzger plays. This organist is on my favorite list.

I grew up at CRPC. Samuel is an amazing organist. The gospel went from this place to all nations on earth. God bless the legacy of D. James Kennedy.

Best arrangement of this hymn I have heard in a long time. Thank you for posting!

Congregação e coral cantando em perfeita hsrmonia com a orquestra. Glória a DEUS.

What an organist!

Christian music is the soul of the church undoubtedly .

AMAZING! As my father, a minister of 35 years, said, "If that doesn't light your fire, your wood is WET!"

I miss Dr Kennedy and the beautiful uplifting music and messages every Sunday morning... Beautiful Organ... Worship service the way it should be....

A beautiful hymn that is not sung enough.

MAny world religions, but NOBODY comes close to Christian music. These compositions must come from God via the composers.

ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS (Sabine Baring-Gould/Arthur Seymour Sullivan) Eton College Press, PRS is one of those pieces that has me thinking of how to arrange it in a style compatible with standard military drums. Originally released for a Whitmonday procession, it became one of the selections in Barnby's Hymnary and has been reprinted in numerous hymnals since.

Love the way Samuel keeps them up to tempo. It's a march, after all.

I loved the modulation and the descant sung!

Waiting to see Dr. Kennedy again when I get to Heaven............

Our Arch children's Presbyterian Sunday School teacher for years had us singing this every Sunday!!!~ of course, many in the town(such as myself) were descendants of Soldiers who fought in The American Revolution.

nice pipe organ, nice choir, nice congragation all singing and praise the Lord. thank you and welldone. Peace be with you.

Metzger is my kind of talented man. Most inspiring.

One can only wonder what Arthur Sullivan, a man who was born and brought up in Lambeth, a poor, working class suburb of South London, would say if he could hear his possibly most famous hymn tune sung so beautifully and with such verve and commitment - and accompanied so magnificently by a truly fabulous organ and organist. He would shake his head in disbelief!! Arthur Seymour Sullivan: 1842 - 1900.

I really miss this Pastor James Kennedy, Very sorry to hear his loss. May God Bless his Family and the Church he build to Great Father God in Heaven.

Where in the world is thus church? I wish I was in the choir too and the organ is so powerful. Can you imagine what it will be like when we all get to Heaven? Oh my word!!! It will be so awesome!!!! I want to be made ready by the hands of my Jesus.

So good to hear this old hymn. I love it dearly. The Marxists who haven over most of the mainline Protestant denominations have mostly banned it. It's why I don't go to church anymore. Instead, I just watch RU-vid videos.

@Kr Mcay I loved that comment your father made about if that doesn't light your fire your wood must be wet.

Glory to almighty GOD. Baruch haba b’shem Adonai - אשרי הוא כי יבוא על שמו של אלוהים From Manaus.Am.Brazil.

Magnífico!!! GLÓRIA À DEUS!

American needs to contemplate the meaning of the words of this hymn "with Cross of Jesus going on before "since America has lost sight of the fact that it He who bore His cross for us as many as are saved.

Awake thou that ye sleepest, and arise from the dead, and the the Christ shall give thee light. Ephesians 5:14. Now is the time to awake and stand for your Faith and take the Glorious Name of Christ to the nations than ever before.

A bit over the top, don't you think? I kept waiting for the Blue Angels flying down the nave. What a sight that would be!

This was played by the US Navy band as they brought President Kennedy into Arlington Cemetery. You could hear their playing a mile away.

Fantastic and inspiring arrangement of this great hymn

I would not have recovered if I had been there for this. Absolutely spellbinding.

I love the pipe organ in this video.

It is SO nice to see EVERYONE with a hymnal in their hands, singing.

We shall overcome! I look up through gates of heaven every time I hear this, marching in their rank of millions with tears of joy!!😀 ML 11/15/20

Thank you for sharing these hymns of Praise with the You Tube world.

This is one of my all time favorites. Thank you for sharing it on RU-vid.

Wow, Onward Christian Soldiers in church. That's a rarity nowadays. Many think it's too militaristic. I love it, and it is a hymn I grew up with. As a church organist and music director, I must say this arrangement is spectacular! From the percussion stops to the large enchamade golden trumpets that knock you backwards! I'll look into ordering the music through my music store where I work.

When i was Little Boy My dad was in the United states Navy military band . and they played this at President John F Kennedy's Funeral . My Daddy was an Honor guard for the USN

If I was in that congregation during this rendition, I'm sure they'd have to escort me out of there because I'm sure I would not be still after that! My gosh; what a gift God has passed to man!

A greatly popular hymn at Anglican Mombasa Memorial Cathedral. It made it to the recessional hymn at Matildah and I's wedding on Wednesday 29th December 2010.

Amen love to hear the congregation sing. Amazing 👏

I used to watch Dr. Kennedy's show, he was certainly very good. As I watched him I'd look @ that magnificent organ behind him & wish I had more opportunity to hear it played. Naturally, the emphasis was always on HIS preaching. I am sure they played it often for many hymns in his actual services. I guess this is an example of how Protestantism is the cult of the preacher. Listening to someone talk about God is more important then actually worshipping him w/ songs & prayers.

I see zimblestern

popular hymn in my school days at Nairobi School formerly called Prince of Wales School

Other than the Crystal Cathedral, this church had some of the most awesome music. Sam's playing and arrangements made it even more special. And still glad to see little Diane Bish playing at so many different churches. I would have loved to attend a service.

Thanks for singing an Anglican hymn so well. God bless you all.

Grandiose ! Arthur Sullivan nous a composé là une oeuvre d'anthologie.

What would the former Organist of Coral Ridge, Ms. Diane Bish, think of this arrangement? I LOVE IT!!!

Wonderful harmonious sweet voices very influencing

Mr.Matzger orgaist is very awesome ~

To God be the glory

UKRAINIAN: Вперед християнські солдати ! Йдучи як до війни, З хрестом Ісуса Йдем же во перед. Христос, Царський Господар, Веде проти ворога; Вперед до боротьби, Бачте, хоругви Його йдуть! ПРИСПІВ: Вперед, християнські солдати! Йдучи як до війни, З хестом Ісуса, Йдем же во перед. На же Іменем Ісуса Сили сатани втікають; Тоді вперд християнські солдати! Тоді вперд на перемогу! Твердини пекелні хитаються На виклик похвали: Брати, піднімаийте голоси, Гучно піднімайте свої гімни! ПРИСПІВ. Як могутня армія Рухає Церква Божа: Брати, ми проходем Там, де святі пройшли; Ми не розділені, Всі же одне Тіло ми - Єдині у вірі та і в Дусі, Одиі на віки вічні. ПРИСПІВ. Корони і престоли можуть зникнути, Царства піднімаються та і згасають; Але Церква Ісуса Постійно залишається. Ворота пеклелні ніколи не можуть ’Проти Церкви переважати; Маєм ми обіцянку Христова, Яка ніколи не щезне ПРИСПІВ. Вперед тоді ви, люди! З'єднайтесь з радим натовпом; Єднаймос голосами В пісні перемоги. Слава, хвали і честь До Христа, Царя; Це через незліченні віки Люди і ангели співають.

1 Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before! Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe; Forward into battle, see his banner go! Refrain: Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before! 2 At the sign of triumph Satan's host doth flee; On, then, Christian soldiers, on to victory! Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise; Brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise! [Refrain] 3 Like a mighty army moves the church of God; Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod; We are not divided; all one body we, One in hope and doctrine, one in charity. [Refrain] 4 Onward, then, ye people, join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song; Glory, laud, and honor, unto Christ the King; This thro' countless ages men and angels sing. [Refrain]

I love this type of song.The Bible says we are more than conquerors.

Father's hymn..jtw a hymn againt spells and curses helped my dad get through world War 2 and raise a family of 14 children Foster care and me JOHN THOMAS WINKLER AND DANNY LEE WINKLER JEAN WINKLER MARRIED RILEY NUL MAXWELL IN CHRISTIAN CHURCH AS JESUS LOOKED ON ARE FAMILY STARTED OUT WITH LOVE WRITTEN BY SON

somgs like this lift up my spirit. Our church does not own an organ or piano all electronic an mostly newer song. Though sometimes a classic is played.

Proud to be an anglican. I must hear an organ playing every sunday. Your name be praised o Lord.🙏

That beautiful organ and the lovely soprano’s.

If memory serves me correctly, in the early and dark days of WWII when Winston Churchill met Franklin Rosevelt Onward Christian Soldiers was part of the service.

Don’t forget music by sir Arthur Sullivan of Gilbert and Sullivan micado pirates of Penzance and loads more

We use to sing this at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, Detroit, when we were kids. Not played by the LCMS any more sorry to say!

I love leading hymns on the organ in this bombastic, dramatic style, but I've never done something quite this extreme. I sometimes play this vid for my music director at the church to remind her that it could be worse!

Didn't Arthur J Nobile Jr., used to be one of the Organist here and play regularly? Whatever happened to him?

I attended local public school through 4th grade. When I was in second grade I came home singing this song. My mom wondered where I heard and replied at school. She told me sometimes it was thought of anti-Catholic, which in the mid-1940's it may have been. She also counseled me to sing it at will. My parents were intellectual Catholics and supported ecumenism before it was proclaimed by Vatican II.

The Knights Templar Hymn! What a wonderful version of it too!

This used to be my father's Favourite hymn so beautiful

I used to sing the first verse of this Hymn daily in infant C of E school at age 4. Now in 82nd year!

This is one of my favorite christian song.We used to sing this song during sabbath srrvices when I was still a member of the worlwide church of God.The church founded by the late Herbert Armstrong.

Really GREAT arrangements and I'd like to buy some sheet music but his website is so out of date and poorly designed. I'd like to see sample pages and hear sample songs first. Marvin Webster San Diego/Canyon Lake CA

Bravo

I was brought up in an AME Zion Methodist church, and we sang most of the hymns that I a. hearing on this channel. It brings back memories. We need more of this music in some of the churches today.

amazing. tears to the eyes

My Favourite one! Also I'm playing this piece at my church as service opening.

I wonder if this was William Booth's favourite song. We'll never know, but it certainly shows what his values were!

Thanks 🙏, this is a real fighting song, and is it any different than that of today? May God have mercy on us ! 🙏✝️♍️🎄🎵💟

GLORY TO ALMIGHTY GOD. From: Martin Castilho. Manaus City-Amazonas -Brazil.

such an amazing organist and awesome hymn arrangements!

Wonderful to hear Christians in churches all over the world singing to glorify God our creator.

What kind of stop is it with the rotation of the star on the top of the middle section of the pipe? By the way is magnificent indeed! Great arrangement with that marvelous organ.

Such a wonderful hymn. A real pity that the "politically correct" people find it offensive.

Great

wonderfull, its amazing

This hymn no longer in Presbyterian Hymnal... disgraceful!

May God richly bless you. I will pray for you and all brethren here. You are Bible blessed passing on it's truth in genuine praise. Jesus sang praises with His disciples at His last supper on earth before He was crucified. Psalms 113-118. God rewards faithful works. There is a crown in Heaven awaiting all who share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and a soul is saved. ( "THE GOSPEL SAVES" below) See 1 Thessalonians chapter 2:verse 19; Philippians chapter 4:verse 1. Another crown is awarded in Heaven to all who are ever ready for Christ's coming to call us and meet our Lord & Savior in the air (the Rapture) . The apostles and saints looked for Him in their time and their greeting to one another reflected it: "Maranatha" "HE COMES". Proofs: John chapter 14: verses 1-3; Titus chapter 2:verses 11-14; Rev. chapter 3:verse 10; Romans chapter 5:verse 9; 1 Thessalonians chapter 5:verse 9; The Crown: 1 Peter chapter 5:verse 4; 2 Timothy chapter 4:verse 8. This praise resounds across the earth the light of His truth awakens. "Jesus is Lord and only He saves". 2 Samuel chapter 22: Verse 50 "Therefore I will praise you, O Lord, out of the countries, and I will praise your name." There is no greater praise than the blessed truth of God's word of the glory of God. THE GOSPEL SAVES! God the Son (Jesus Christ) has given us the gospel to share with the world. Mark chapter 16: Verse 15: "And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." How can anyone hear the "good" news? Romans chapter 10: verse 17 "Then faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God." Isaiah chapter 7: verse 14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel." Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל, "God with us" in human flesh but without sin. The Savior of the world was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal; body mutilated; blood poured out, finally died and was placed in a tomb and rose from the dead the 3rd day ! "HE IS RISEN" Matthew chapter 28: verse 6 Isaiah chapter 53: verse 5 "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." - IT IS FOUNDED UPON GOD'S LOVE FOR MAN AND WOMAN HE CREATED John chapter 3: Verse 16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans chapter 3: verse 23 " For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans chapter 6: verse 23 " Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.."John chapter 14.verse 6 "1 Corinthians chapter 15: verse 3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" THE PAYMENT BY HIS BLOOD FOR ALL SINS EVER! (the life is in the blood. He had to pay with His life) "And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." 1 John chapter 2: verse 2 Romans chapter 5:verse 8 "But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him." “For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians chapter 5:verse 21. " In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;." Ephesians chapter 1:verse 7 Matthew chapter 26:verse 28 "For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." (the life is in the blood. He had to pay with His life) "And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." Hebrews chapter 9:verse 22 BY GOD'S GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE IN JESUS CHRIST ALONE ARE WE SAVED (Not anything we do but believe the word of His truth !) Ephesians chapter 2:verse 8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast." Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins and rescue us from eternal death. Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, all we have to do is believe in Him, trusting in His death and in the shedding of His blood as payment for our sins, as well as in His resurrection from the dead, and we will be saved! WHOSOEVER BELIEVES SHALL TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH Romans 10: 9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart man believes in righteousness; And a confession by mouth is given for salvation. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. TO DIE IS TO REJECT SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John chapter 3: verse 16 above, "perish", which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the "second death". Revelation chapter 21: verse 8. THE SURE "PEACE" IN JESUS CHRIST "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ". Romans chapter 5:verse 1
