this song remminds me of God's glory, no matter who sings it! Fav song all time !!

It's just phenomenal.

I sang this every Sunday in the Congregational church as a child then as an adult, the Doxology. But Williams adaption still give me goose bumps.... Wonderful.

NO ONE does a Hymn quite like the Church of England.... God Save the Queen

England sure knows how to do those hymns right.

My Anglican ears just died and went to Heaven.

The organ at the beginning is truly awesome!

May The Name Of The Lord Forever Be Praised. Amen❤

Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work or watch or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ, give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous-and all for your love's sake. Amen. - Attributed to Augustine, Book of Common Prayer

The National anthem of Irish Presbyterianism - my heart soars

GOD is awesome! This version captures the essence of the Psalm. Praise be to God!!!

All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice. Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell; Come ye before Him and rejoice. The Lord, ye know, is God indeed; Without our aid He did us make; We are His folk, He doth us feed, And for His sheep He doth us take. O enter then His gates with praise; Approach with joy His courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless His Name always, For it is seemly so to do. For why? the Lord our God is good; His mercy is for ever sure; His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure. To Father, Son and Holy Ghost, The God Whom Heaven and earth adore, From men and from the angel host Be praise and glory evermore.

We sang this when I was in the Choir at Coral Ridge Church when Diane Bish was Senior Organist .It was a Unbelieveable time in the Music Legacy of the Church.What has replaced this Saced Music is a Praise Band How sad what is happing to the Music is some American Churches I Pray that some how the Music of the churches will once again resound in Worship Services again. What a Beautiful video Thank you Westminster Choir and Organist

God Bless Her, long life to our good Queen!

This performance really rocks! As does anything that English Church music will do.

My favorite hymn.

Goosebumps. Wow that organ. Holy smokes. Amazing

Always have loved that hymn. England does it right! I guess Ill just have to be happy singing the doxology here in the USA. That's one of the best hymns of all time.

40 years ago, when I was a seminarian preparing for the Catholic priesthood, we used this hymn and this same arrangement for particularly solemn or festive occasions, such as the visitation of Cardinal Krol to our seminary. We also used it for a pilgrimage to the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC in 1976. Unfortunately it is regarded as too "formal" for use in parishes but cathedral and basilica liturgists still rely upon it for great occasions.

Really impressive and historical. I am neither Anglican nor British, but i am bound to resect this moments of grandeur and reverence.

@idle44 It works out, I was a Roman Catholic now I'm a member of the Episcopal Church and very happy and proud in my new home. And music like this still gives me a shiver. The praise of God thru the making of a glorious noise to His honor and worship.

I was anglican- now a Catholic: but this gives me a long forgotten shiver.

I know how you feel. Former Episcopalian-this was sung as the Doxology every Sunday. Still, as a Catholic, you've got to hand it to Williams. So...regal!

Fanfares layered over fanfares love it!

But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long, though I know not its measure. - Psalm 71

The arrangement brings a tear to my eye. It supports the original tune without overwhelming it or devolving into melodrama.

ANOTHER GREAT ANGLICAN HYMN SUNG BEAUTIFULLY AT WESTMINSTER ABBEY

Prince Philip's Funeral today at Windsor. Prince Philip was wonderfully supportive of the Queen and gave many years of service to her a many worth causes. A wonderful piece of film for the 50th year of her Coronation in 2010. Here HM The Queen arrives with Prince Philip at Westminster Abbey to a really great 500 year old hymn from the opening words of Psalm 100 in English (All People that on Earth do dwell). This hymn marks the terrible fight for the English language. The hymn was written around 1562 by William Kethe who was hiding, exiled in Geneva during Queen Mary's dreadful period of burning over 300 English Protestants to death. The first person Mary ordered burnt to death was burnt for translating the Bible into English. To read and speak the Bible in English is a right we all take to easily, without thought and for granted and enjoy to this day. Kethe translated the Geneva Psalter Bible into English... a capital offence with punishment of burning alive. Kethe went further... He translated the Bible and working with printers produced the very first small Bibles... ever... and in English... so that a man, woman or child may be able to read a Bible within their very house or carry one with them. This is the precurser of the very bookshelf Bible in your house this morning, and was the Bible carried by William Shakespeare, Oliver Cromwell and John Knox. It was a massive move forward in education and the need for the English poor to learn to read and speak the Bible in English. Kethe returned to England and died in Dorset as Rector of Child Okeford.

The Lord, ye know, is God indeed; Without our aid He did us make; We are His folk, He doth us feed, And for His sheep He doth us take. 3.

To Father, Son and Holy Ghost, The God Whom Heaven and earth adore, From men and from the angel host Be praise and glory evermore.

Thank you. My girlfriend's mom turned 100 this week and this was the first thing that came to my mind.

We sang this song in our church for the installation of our pastor. We sing these old songs and also sing praise songs. We try to blend the old and the new. I love it all! It's for the glory and honor of God.

Simply spectacular.

That organ introduction gives Bach's whole catalogue a run for its money. (hot take)

Yes, bless His name always. Praise ye the Lord

God ßless & Keep You Good Queen ßess!

My first time to hear this hymn sung in a procession. Every sunday we used to sing the doxology for the offering procession to the altar. our identity as Anglican, I love it.

Its so beautiful and DISmundane. STUPENDOUS. Eternally GLORIOUS. Heaven will be megillions of times more glorious.

The Anglicans broke away from the Roman Catholic Church at the time of Henry VIII, but over the years have retained more of the tradition and worship than my Roman Catholic church which has giving itself over to guitars and tambourines.

BBC: Please make this event available (again?) on DVD - it was one of the best concerts of British music ever.

This is why I love the Monarchy. The culture! The cermoney! The grandeur! The historical power! It's worth the money, and I'm not even a Tory.

From the US - hail to the Queen and Prince Phillip. If only the two of you knew how we look up to you both for your grace, dignity and humanity. The people of the United States have nothing to look to and we are sorry with the leadership we have. Don't ever let Prince Harry and his wife move to the United States - they will not have a happy life together if they move here.

This hymn was sung in Mark Twain's "Adventures of Thomas Sawyer". I just came to check it out, and boy! did my hairs stand on end. It's absolutely majestic. Heavenly.

This will always remind me of Home.

I love this hymn and especially this arrangement by Ralph Vaughan Williams. No one, but no one, does splendor and majesty better than the Church of England. Thank you very much for this video! Gave me awe and fulfillment.

My high school did this c.1970 for speech night in Melbourne Town Hall with (me in) fanfare ensemble, organ and 1000+ male voices.....tingles-down-spine stuff!!

Love @3.36 . The music's kicking off in a magnificent way and HM isn't even slightly fazed!

UND1989, actually the Church of England predates the Roman Catholic presence in England by several hundred years, according to historical records. When the Bishop of Rome sent St. Augustine to England to perform missionary work, Augustine found a church already in existence.

It was nice seeing Richard Dawkins leading the group in the beginning. As he said... a cultural Anglican, indeed.

Majestic! As another convert to Catholicism, I have to agree that, whatever about theology, no-one does hyms like the Anglicans, especially from Hymns A & M!

0:12 where the trumpeters above the choir screen lowering their trumpets altogether.❤

Impresionante la majestuosidad de la ceremonia. Ayuda a experimentar la presencia de un espíritu superior

Walking slowly in a totally forward motion is VERY difficult. So a bit of "sway" is required. In the UK we process we do not rush like through a shopping mall!

The name Williams itself has a grandiose, trapezoidal majesty, crownshaped and noble.

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (April 29, Easter 4), I filled in at a local Lutheran Church. I played this as the opening hymn. It is #883 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.

Thanks for posting. All glory be to the Father, all glory be to the Son, all glory be to the Holy Spirit, ONE in the Most Holy Trinity now and forever.

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (July 28), I played a hymn for Sunday School Assembly set to this tune. It was How Blessed Is This Place, written by Ernest E. Ryden.

Praise God INDEED!

This is a blatant representation of but a taste of the Glory of God.

God Save the Queen ........

Magnificent. And many thanks for the 'Ravenscroft' verse!

RIP Good Queen Beth II. On of the greatest generation.

To owe truly owe God is to be a servant to all peoples.

O Praise Ye the Lord in the Highest!!!!!!!

Praise God, indeed!

I think it is matter of choice whether you do or not. On the other hand those who are invited to Royal Services in Westminster Abbey or St Paul's should pay their respects to the Sovereign as she passes regardless of whether they sit on the 'blind' side or in full view of her.

Played this today-trumpeter great play

Simply magnificent

Beautiful! Stupendous!

excellent! Thank You!

The spectacle begins to overshadow the presence of the Spirit. Oh God forgive us , your children, for we have sinned. Bring us together to live in the peace you have given us as shown in the life of Your Son.

Vive la Monarchie ! Vive la Reine !

@NJFordPops08005 Many People on the left bowed as well. Those that did not on the left, if you notice, were either non British or of religions that did not permit them to bow to the Queen.

How absolutely glorious

This is being sung at my funeral for sure.

Those Poms really know how to put on a show!

HRH Philip's face's as he walks down in the aisle... we will never see this again... rip sir

@idle44 I'm not English and was never an Anglican! But let me ask you in short: what makes an Anglican turn a Catholic! I'm amazed!

Her Majesty looks petrified in that flashback video to her coronation. I don't blame her.

Only in England can you hear hymns sung like this! WOW!

As I have said previously..Judi Harbin..Your comments are fabulous

Glory be to God

We all owe ourselves to God, now shut up and listen to the music.

Pride swells the heart

Awesome Psalm, Taken from the Scottish Kirk and sung from the psalmody Psalms of David in Scottish Metric Form.. sung in Scotland since 1600’s 🎉

I always marvel at how attractive the Queen was in her youth, attractive in the uncommonly attractive way.

Wow, kick ass tempo. Good for them. I'll do it like this next time.

Now I know what you're talking about....I got the shiver too, about 2:21 into the vid. I'm also a trumpet player so that didn't help :)

Who's that lady walking behind the Queen? Fabulous.

@Gregg825 the tempo must be tweeked slightly faster or slower depending on the space and acoustics of the sanctuary. Obviously in a sanctuary as resonant and large as Westminster Abbey (or St Paul's Cathedral) it must be stretched slightly). In an acoustically 'dead' sanctuary, the tempo must be picked up slightly. Either way, it must be done maestoso and stately

RIP Queen Elizabeth II

I love this arrangement of the "Old 100th". I wish the churh ( Episcopal ) that I attend, would sing the Hymns at about the tempo as this hymn is sung. They sing hymns what seems to be at racing speed I barely have a chance to catch my breath between verses.

Another lot of fantastic comments from Judi Harbin down the page a little. Always great to read your comments Judi

The Brits have grand churches!

The day before good Friday

I like it. Wish someone had captured the audio in better fidelity/stereo. But very good

This is the type of music that will live on. Not the head smashing garbage.

From 3'.11", RVW nailed it yet AGAIN! :O

May the God of Israel bless, preserve and save HM The Queen.

I think RVW's arrangement for her coronation? Doesn't get much better than this!!

As an American, I do not bend a knee, to another person, however British customs are their own. Much respect for the music.
