The church is famous for the huge carved altar (known as "Golden Miracle of Dortmund"), from 1521. It consists of 633 gilt carved oak figures depicting 30 scenes about Easter.

When one knows the sad story behind the writing of this hymn, the words mean even more. When we are in God's loving embrace He will never let us go! I encourage you to Google it and learn the story! Its very moving!

I've been singing for the better part of the last 30 years. This performance, even through this venue... a posting on youtube with only a meager pair of earphones, has absolutely enriched me beyond words. The artistry, beauty, and conviction put into the music here transcends emotion. It is simply life-altering. God bless you all and thank you for the gift.

I have watched this about 100 times over the last year. To me, this moment in singing is a classic representation of what happens when preparation, acoustics, a good arrangement, and spiritual truth come together. The singers and the conductor are on a wild ride of the moment that they did not see coming, and it is absolutely thrilling.

(Lyrics) Oh Love that will not let me go, I rest my weary soul in Thee; I give Thee back the life I owe, That in Thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be. Oh Light that foll’west all my way, I yield my flick’ring torch to Thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, That in Thy sunshine’s blaze its day May brighter, fairer be. Oh Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to Thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, And feel the promise is not vain, That morn shall tearless be. Oh Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from Thee; I lay in dust life’s glory dead, And from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be.

Amazing beauty. Amazing Love. Amazing Savior that will not let me go; for we like sheep have all gone astray I am so thankful. The only way this piece could be better is when we all sing it with the angels in heaven. I’ve saved this & listen to it regularly. It centers me on the most important Person of all time, the Savior of the world, King Jesus. Thank you.

I’ve listened to this many times over the years and came back to it this morning.

Thanks for this slice of heaven.

Chills, goosebumps, almost to the point of shedding a tears... I first heard of this hymn when I heard a simple upbeat guitar arrangement of the hymn from Chris Rice on my Spotify and I was just coming across some other arrangements here on RU-vid. I came upon this one and something just told me to stop scrolling and listen to it. Sure enough, it was worth me to stop scrolling! God's Presence is surely felt through the Westminster Chorus's powerful singing!! God is good, all the time! May we forever praise and worship Him and His amazing glory!! Hallelujah!!

He needs to get out of the way - the words of the song speak for themselves - he's rehearsed the song we do not need to see but only hear his interpretation - which is to his taste. For my taste I would prefer a less complicated interpretation that sincerely expresses the words; I'm delighted though that so many have found it a blessing.

It is truly something to create and be part of a moment as special as this. Thank you for sharing it with us.
