X Factor singers !!! This is the voice of a true artist no raunchy crap to endure this lady needs nothing more than her own magnificent voice...Superb

Truely a magnificent performance. The best I've seen her do. Her voice is like a heartbeat. Needed. I love the natural quality. The simplicity. The movement of her hands. The look in her eyes. The abandon of her performance. This is the purest performance I've seen done....ever. At the deepest level. It is loving and fearless. The essence of the song. The essence of God. She must be an interesting person.

Can't cry since mum passed, but this can bring a tear to my eye wish I could cry but afraid i won't stop

She sings this so beautifully she could almost make me believe in God!

Without a doubt, this is the most beautiful rendition of this song I have ever heard... and I have heard many. Thank you Eddi.... for making this grown man cry. xx

want this version played at my funeral. Incredible voice

Only recently heard this song, it was chosen for my father's funeral. It's now one of my favourites. Eddi sings it so beautifully.

I have known this Hymn for decades and this is got to be the best and most fervent singing of it I have heard. Eddi does appear to be singing this not as a performance, but as a genuine appeal to the Lord

I'm not a religous person but hearing Eddi singing this makes me want to believe so that I can connect on another level. Saying that....musically it's simply gorgeous.

My mum's funeral song, April past, anyway heard elvis and Johnny cash sing it there but eddi reader absolutely kicks their arses when singing this, infact they murder the song, as much as i like them both

I needed to be reminded of the beauty, light and love thank you...

I have seen Eddi Reader live many times in various settings, both small, intimate gigs and in large concert venues and I can asssure everyone that her voice is far from weak. It's a most wonderful musical instrument and her interpretation of this song is beautfiul in it's simplicity. God, whoever he, she, or whatever it might turn out to be should be proud of their handiwork with the creation of this voice.

Beautifully sang. This hymn means such a lot to so many people

I have my doubts about the greatness of god, but there is no doubt about this voice... how great it is.

Good song and good singer , brilliant....Great what else ??? ..

this song always put 's me to to remind me of my mother

How I love Eddi Reader! She is as fantastic to listen to as to see perform! Hope she returns to America soon!

My favorite version of this song. I could listen to it all day.

Absolutely beautiful.

this is THE best rendition

Love it. Beautiful in it's simplicity and innocent in it's understatement. Eddie Reader: One of the jewels in the crown of Scottish music, and a credit to her country. God Bless, NMK

Voice of an Angel

This is the voice of ALL WOMEN SCREAMING TO GOD FOR HELP AND TO BE HEARD BY HIM FOR ONCE AND ALL....He did surely hear it....God bless All Women, mothers, sisters, daughters, dead or alive, tortured or raped or simply loved... Our God Jesus Christ has a very special place in His Holy Heart for ALL of them. Amen

Beautiful….

she has such a beautiful voice and also beautiful song.

I'm an atheist these days, but I have fond memories of standing next to my mum signing this in St Ninians Church, Menzieshill Dundee.

How beautiful Eddie x

Eddi Ryder use to head a group called fairground attraction in the 80's - I could listen to her sing the telephone directory - I think she has one of the most smoothest and calming voices -

Just noticed after listening to her other tunes....her voice seems more beautiful in the lower registers. It has a breathy quality that is gorgeous.

I love this so much it's the most tranquil hymn I ever herd ❤

Great performance - truly wonderful - and appropriate this Christmas Eve, while waiting to go to Midnight Mass!

What a beautiful voice ❤

Beautiful version from you Eddi you really are a very talented singer keep up your good work.

Eddi you are bird that sings sweetly through the trees, your soul sings.

Truly wonderful rendition by a marvelous singer.

O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder Thy power throughout the universe displayed [Chorus] Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art When through the woods and forest glades I wander and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees; when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur, and hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze Chorus [Music] When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow in humble adoration And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art Chorus

I love an artist that puts song first. I feel many versions are "listen to how great I sing this song" or "listen to what a great voice is". I feel this version is us overhearing someone praying. Amazing

this woman never ceases to amaze me...deep and heartfelt this is

Without doubt the best rendition of this song. Eddie can do no wrong she is brilliant! A propper entertainer not Xfactor want to be's.

Soft Adoration Masterpiece!

No one can sing any this better, this is best by-far

I have this on my favourites as it is the best version i have heard this lady is a beautiful, & fantastic singer I could literally listen to her all day there is no airs n graces with her she does not think she is a deva but omg she could give most of the so called singers these days a run 4r their money - all round brilliant performer & person wish her every happiness love her voice xx

Simply stunning. I love this song, and this version is definitely my favourite. Hauntingly beautiful.....

Eddi Reader, your praises shared through this song are a gift. Thank you

How Great Thou Art !!!!!

i have asked for this hymn at my funeral when it comes.

Wunderbar,vielen dank dafür!

I sent this to my mum,and guess what it is her favourite hymn and she wants it played at her funeral,i am not sure how too take her wish.

I've got chills in every part of my body, Oh Eddie Thou art amazing !

Eddi Reader truly sang this with her whole heart. What a beautiful performance! Thank you for posting this wonderful video and thank you to my friend amethyst2001 for sharing it with me.

I was up as a good Alter boy,but after all the s-it i have put up with i truly if God does exist/

I could listen to/watch this all day

Haunting and beautiful , truly a most gorgeous version , in fact it's the best, what a voice.

I can't stop listening to this beautiful version of this hymn, and every time it brings a tear to my eyes. I intend to have this played WHEN I finally pass away.

Beautiful. She sings with feeling and beauty, not trying to dazzle with vocal effects that have no feeling. I could listen to this all day.

This makes me sit back and take stock of my life. Beautiful version.

I love this version of one of my favorite songs

One of the best versions I have ever heard

As i have said before this is by-far the best version of the song i've ever heard like it or not for,but for me Eddi you are the best singer of this i've heard, good fur yoo.

So beautiful Edde you sing this hymn from the heart now iam crying

Thank you Eddi for this and all the others that have given me & my Happy many great nights out at your gigs.

This special song takes a special voice and you have that.

Thank you for this, it reminds me of my aunt who passed away back in '97, but i know she's in a better place, miss you Tuula, xoxo

just absolutely adore her voice.....in fact i love anything she sings|!!!

Then sings my soul !!! Beautiful Eddi

I could literally listen to that all day and must tear myself away. My favorite rendition of that song ever. She's also a lovely lady. If there were anything I'd change about the video it'd be her outfit -- it detracts a bit

I personaly think this is by-far the best version i've ever heard, just fantastic

how beautiful

just listened to this for the 126,984th time

Beautiful song, beautiful voice

wow. . well that made me cry. . . she hits the notes so well. . .

What a lovely performance of this hymn!

I have heard it so many times but Eddie your version of a great hymn is awesome.

Beautifully Sung!! Love It!! Bless Us All. ^_^

sung straight from the heart, beautiful

still the best version i've ever heard, best by far.

Amazing voice 💕

Soothing and beautiful...... well said yt102008. people that don't know what to say, should seriously not say ANYTHING at all.

Beautiful song and beautiful voice

Dearest Eddi you are the most under rated singer in the world, what joy & pleasure your wonderful voice gives to us all. Saw you last at Pockleton -York, even gave you a lift to the show on my birthday ! My own 'car-share' eat yr heart out Peter Kay. 😊 Can't wait to see yr shows once again. Joy..xxx

She's not singing to preform--she's just singing for herself. It's very profound.

Eddi truly has the voice of an angel. This is not my favourite version of this great hymn as prefer powerful male voice covering it, however Eddi could sing a shopping list to me and i'd be in awe of her voice. Eddi Reader is a songstress few can match and in my humble opinion none can beat.

absolutely beautiful

I agree with so many, this is amazing, the best that I have heard. God continue to bless and keep you..Debbie/Child of God/South Georgia

such a beautiful song, sung with body and soul, thank you, mrs Reader

A pure rendition. From the heart. Just like the deeper toned version from Elvis.

As a good catholic boy I was brought up with this stuff,about how great god was ,I still struggle with that concept,Eddie and how great though art,doesn't help

Eddi Reader is not just sing the song.... she tells the story!

this was my husbands funeral song, he passed away 2009 aged just 40 xx r.i.p william

Great voice eddi, ive been listening to your voice for a long time now. From the patience of angels to the presant day you just get better and better lol Adrian xxx ps south of the border ok

Perfection.

What a beautiful and different arrangement...very unique--just like Eddi herself!

Beautiful Eddi.. she certainly moves me.

I hate to appear like a fawning fan ....but hell this is so good!. ER is an stunning talent.

Hope God was listening,she was singing it to him.

EDDI you are a gift from heaven

wgl1964: This version is magnificent. It's fearless. Carrie Underwoods opry version, done by herself, is also a magnificent performance. Especially towards the end where she closes her eyes and is totally in the moment. The audience disappears and it translates across to the listener. Both are very powerful.

Amazing!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice; the world is a better place because you sang this song!!

Mickc26 Your so right on my friend. I couldn't have said it any better. A truly inspired performance.

mmm many thanks for
