And it certainly laid the foundation of our lives at that school. I have played the organ in Churches of various denominations, and currently still play once a month on a roster at a very well attended Church, Penang Wesley.

I did not grow up a Lutheran, but a different protestant evangelical church. Later in life I came to just love the Evangelical Lutheran Church. I was a guest instrumentalist in many over the years across America. These indeed are great examples of some of the great Hymns of the Christian church, and have lyrics that both preach the gospel, and doctrine, but raise us up in times we need encourgement.

Luis Enrique you're absolutely correct

I'm almost 60 years old , I've seen quite a bit , As a Full Gospel Pentecostal , I loved the old Golden Standards . They are what we need to hearing church today !

Music is not worship in and of itself, but rather just a tool for worship. The instrumentation are just tools. Music styles are also tools - tools to convey emotion. Often times we associate musical styles with experiences, but that does not mean those styles are intrinsically good or bad. Many of the hymns are old bar tunes with different words, yet we associate that music with worship. Please be careful not to associate modern Christian music with something of the world. You can use a hammer to build a house, or tear one down. Let us use all our tools for worship.

Daveinet , thank you for an interesting appraisal of hymn singing. Yes, before I point the finger at a fault in a hymn I should remember that Jesus sees the heart , and someone can be drawn to Him in different ways. I do like the marching hymns. Everything s bold , and good and bad is seen as black and white. Lord Jesus ,give us boldness to speak out against abortion. You said, Lord Jesus ‘You shall not kill ‘. Every child is precious in your eyes. What we hear in whispers, let us shout from the rooftops. Amen ? Maranatha, come Lord Jesus save us from our sins. Save the babies, help the ladies and motivate the lazies to act .

.To God be the Glory I love the song &I'm inpired and Blessed ijn amen ELD AKI NGUN GABRIEL

True, but remember that these services were televised so the congregants knew they had to look their best.

+KR McKay Amen and Amen! My full agreement.

awesome....could I borrow that?.....

Good philosophical talk

True, if that doesn't light fire, your wood is wet....

Treasures for us and for the children of KINGDOM of God

Hi, you don't have to be jealous; just come over here and join us. Not because of the musical organ, but to be part of the Body of Christ, for His pure and holy doctrine. That's enough!

Your prayers have been answered - it's a RC Cathedral now!!!

There are bigger don’t worry.

​@@wurlitzer895 Actually, it was the late Robert Schuller's Crystal Cathedral that went bankrupt and was bought by the RC church. This church (Coral Ridge) is still very much Presbyterian.

I'm a Devout Catholic too Its not the Organ what makes the Church its the People with all due respect

Are you Anglican as in the Church of England? I had English friends, now both deceased, and we would talk of similarities and differences in our faiths. I was raised in Southern Baptist churches. One big difference is that the Anglican Church furnishes the ministers to the churches, where in the Southern Baptist Association, each minister is hired by that church. He is their employee and they alone have the power to hire or fire him. So we had some long discussions over faith in God and the role of the church in that faith.

+pablo curley Halleluiah』Amen

You are so correct. I just left the PCUSA and became a Roman Catholic. What a breath of Fresh air to hear the word of God again!

There is no such thing as a Protestant church. The only true Church is the Catholic Church.

@@MarkWilliams-gy9bi That is a matter of opinion, not fact and somewhat bigotted view

We in the UK generally LOVE this hymn whether Anglican / Methodist / Baptist / and particularly Salvation Army -

It has nothing to do with the military.

We are an Independent Baptist church and we sing it along with "The Fight is On".

+Mi Picasso Halleluiah　Amen

IMO, Samuel is the best organist they ever had there, bar none.

Did you all know Diana Bish Built and dedicated the pipe organ to the crystal cathedral yrs ago when they opened this congregation

If you feel this way, you wouldn't feel very comfortable in the Early Church either where the proclamation of the world was the centrepiece of worship and evangelism. In Protestantism, the purity of ancient worship has been (to varying degrees) restored with the renewed emphasis on the word. Even Protestant hymnody is squarely based on the scriptures, which is why they are so powerful.

jlandles B/4 you talk about the Early Church Fathers, you'd do well to...like...actually read them. No. You could not possibly be more wrong. The center of Early Christian worship was the sacrifice of the Eucharist. Actually read the Fathers. As Newman said, "Do be deep into history is to cease to be Protestant." That is why the leaders of the state churches in Europe (Protestants of course) all went to Liberalism. If you can't find any real historical basis for your nations official religion, it will naturally be a scandal to many & many did indeed loose their faith, even as they made their living hypocritically as clergy.

Its a well known hymn. Well known in the Christian world. I have not heard that it was regarded as anti catholic. As a protestant growing up in the Dutch Reform church and later in the Church of England it remains a favorite.

mary jane Prouty Dear Mary Jane, thank you for the information. As a protestant who has a deep admiration for the Catholic church I am glad to hear it. To me it's a lovely hymn.

+Gerhardus Van Rooyen Amen

+abe tadashi Amen

+mary jane Prouty I sang it at my Episcopal Country day school, most kids there were Episcopal and Catholic . This was early 60's. Our School Vicar came and called emergency Chapel to tell us the President had been shot in Dallas Tx. I think I was the only kid in the school that went to a Full Gospel Church, but I loved the music as a kid, and as a adult I joined the Episcopal Church ( most my friends growing up, were Catholic) The Masonic group" the Commandery " sing this as their march song, but again its not in any way, done to be anti catholic. I still love the song

Just do it! :)

My Dad was in the US Navy band Back then . he served in the Navy

But Christians have a message that should be heard....to the ends of the earth!
