My father's favorite hymn. I'm sure he is singing with the angels.

This hymn gets better and better each time I listen to it. Congratulations and thank you so much Rob. Cheers Patx

My favorite Hymn to, many thanks for introducing this great Hymn to me, it has great meaning to me!

I have played this over and over and it seems to get better every time. Very stimulating but also comforting. Thank you very, very much Rob. Cheers Patx

I love hymns

If only the Church would heed the message of this anthem!!

Magnificent! I especially liked the Tuba (?) solo at around 2.10 and the thunder of pedals on the last verse!

Thanks for watching! :o)

3. Though with a scornful wonder we see her sore oppressed, by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed, yet saints their watch are keeping; their cry goes up, "How long?" And soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song.

Absolutely Phenomenal!! This is one of my favorite hymns and the favorite hymn of the old organist at my church whom I miss so much. Every time I hear it, it reminds me of her. Thank you for sharing :-).

Oh, so well played, so close to what I grew up with listening to and studying with Dr. Richard M. Peek.😃

Rob this is a very beautiful hymn and you play it so beautifully. The Lord has used you as such a blessing to us all

Tremendous trumpets, sir!!! That building has amazing acoustics...... Thank you for sharing!

O, Rob, what do I know - I'm a Reader, I just listen in awe to you chaps who use ten-fingers and two feet to make such wondrousness music! :-)

As a Seminarian, this hymn helps me in my meditation and prayer

The music is lovely and uplifting

Beautiful Rob. Thank you.

I heard this as the closing hymn to today's church service at a Catholic church here in Chicago; it's a shame that their organ wasn't as good as this one... Great playing Rob, as usual! -Daniel

Lovely playing, the way a hymn should be played, it should stir the soul. Enjoying it in South Africa. thank you Rob Charles.

love your playing, listen to you for hours, i was speaking to the organist at our church about when they were looking at replacing ours with an electric, he looked at the bishop and said electric merely vibrates the air, but the pipe organ, as she is, makes the wind sing.... we still have the old one, love how you make it come to life.... May i request "on eagles wings" if you do not already have it. Thanks

Absolutely one of the greatest tunes ever written. I looove Rob's unique three-note Amen, Never heard anyone else do it.

We really enjoy your hymns Rob. Thank you very much, Patx

James Odo from Nigeria enjoying the angelic composition, your style of playing and choice of instrument

Quite lovely, and at the proper tempo!!! Thanks

One of the many memories of communion hymns at church growing up. I’m a Lutheran

One of my faves, as well. Thanks for posting. I like your tempo and your registration.

Absolutely beautiful!

Outstanding video of one of the grand auld classic hymns, Rob. Pax☦ Slàinte🥂

Beautiful Rob! You and that organ sound so good! Delightful video Rob!

Great Rob just great. I have played it many times.Thank you so much.Cheers Patx

Magnificent, Rob. Sublimely played.

The Church’s one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord, She is His new creation By water and the Word. From heaven He came and sought her To be His holy bride; With His own blood He bought her And for her life He died. She is from every nation, Yet one o’er all the earth; Her charter of salvation, One Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy Name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, With every grace endued. The Church shall never perish! Her dear Lord to defend, To guide, sustain, and cherish, Is with her to the end: Though there be those who hate her, And false sons in her pale, Against both foe or traitor She ever shall prevail. Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore oppressed, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distressed: Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, “How long?” And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song! ’Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore; Till, with the vision glorious, Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. Yet she on earth hath union With God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won, With all her sons and daughters Who, by the Master’s hand Led through the deathly waters, Repose in Eden land. O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee: There, past the border mountains, Where in sweet vales the Bride With Thee by living fountains Forever shall abide!

Magnificent solo on the trumpet. Reduced me to tears!

Nice song brother

Your three-part codas are fantastic. I have never heard one before. Where did you get the idea? I need your help. In some of the great old Welsh movies they use the tune which I know as "The Christian War Song." I can't catch the words sung in the movies, but have you recorded the tune. It is magnificent.

I have, have a look I know Huw Williams too! :o)

Why are the ratings disabled? I'm trying to give you a thumbs up!

;o) But of course Sir!

???

Do you have other hymns on this or other BIG cathedral Organs?? My friend Huw WIlliams from London is from Swansea. Warm wishes, David

Sorry about that I keep getting a couple of dumbos with nothing else with their time sorry maybe Ile bring them back soon.

:o)

Nothing like highs church

Use Your Own Inititave! ;o)

And the gates of Hell shall not prevail.

*Todays churches are sad to say are functioning like a congregation or social club !*

Very rude...now I won't
