Those windows are truly beautiful! I’m glad my music could help set the mood for viewing them. 🙏🎶🙏

This is great! I’m very honored! 😊🎶😊

I was over the past 3 days cast down and dejected, seeing my many failures, shortcomings and sins,and as a result my soul refused to be comforted in me. God then by His Spirit led me miraculously to hear this hymn and as I sang it, streams of tears ran down my face. I then felt Gods wonderful, unchanging and eternal love embrace me. My God so lovingly restored me. This is a most beautiful psalm set to a most beautiful tune.

This is a new melody for me, but I absolutely love it! Thank you for playing it! 🙏🎶🙏

Joyful,

This is beautiful, both musically and visually. I pray that this lovely stained glass can find a new home! 🙏

Lovely, almost hypnotic.

So beautiful

❤ Thank you for sharing this, Peter. I remember when this was recorded and I have a copy of this CD on my music rack. Derek was an extraordinary musician, the best organist I ever worked with. One of the things I enjoyed especially was his incredibly sensitive way of accompanying the psalms sung to Anglican chants. The way he would illustrate Psalm 46 (always sung on Remembrance Sunday as well as at other times) was particularly memorable, and as I read the words of that Psalm again, I can hear his pedal notes resonating through verses 2 and 3. His music was a gift, and I felt really blessed to have served 12 years at St John's during a time which was musically very rich mostly because of Derek's musicianship, and because of his generosity of spirit in enabling a team of organists and choristers to work so well together. Thank you for remembering him in this musical tribute, and thank you for the way that you continue this tradition of excellent music in St John's.

Very moving thank you x

The music is beautiful and the pictures stunning.

Don't know the originals but your arrangements are beautiful.

Not the finest sounding instrument!! Give me a real pipe organ!

❤❤❤Wow! I don't know this hymn fully yet, but I will. I was so overjoyed with gladness that I wanted to cry. I couldn't help but sing it again and again. Thank you for sharing such a lovely hymn. All you guys and gals did such a fabulous job. Thank you again and God bless you. Penny D. ❤❤❤

thank you for the video. do you know where can i get the organ accompaniment pdf for this song with this arrangement?

Beautiful music and a lovely church. Sad to know it's closed. It's history must live on.

Lovely music and a beautiful church

I’m playing this soon as well! Lovely playing, Peter! 🎶🙏🎶

Love this hymn.

My favourite hymn.

Covers all the emotions and what a joyous conclusion.

I love your work on this channel. I'm doing a singalong video right now of the tenor part to "Star of the East" from The New Oxford Easy Anthem Book. I'm tracking my vocal over your audio. Nice product. Sounds good. I'll use your stuff more and give credit to your music and channel. - Dean Crabb

Wonderful so uplifting I'm in AnE chest infection pneumonia, just what needed to hear today

I know Charles Tournemire isn't to everyone's taste, but I think he was a genius. One of these days I am going to sit down with Thomas Traherne and try and pair some of their work, which I know isn't what either intended, but they both remind me so much of the other one. Thank you Peter for sharing with us more of Tournemire's ethereal music x

'Jan Struther' was of course Joyce Anstruther, alias 'J.Anstruther', using a version of her maiden name as a pseudonym. I had no idea she had written other hymns! Thank you.

A lovely piece, thank you! 1935 to 2003 - an astonishing achievement! The window from the C of S church is surprising: Presbyterians with a window depicting Mary as Queen of heaven?

Beautiful

Fantastic, Peter! I didn't know this arrangement, so will look out a copy online :) Good wishes to you and the good folks of St John's for a blessed Advent and a very merry ChristMass.

I play lots of Dale Wood’s arrangements, as they’re always so well-crafted and lovely. Beautifully played, Peter! 🙏🎶🙏

Do you have a playing of Suite 4, "Thanksgiving?" Our late church organist, who studied under Virgil Fox, played it. What an active, stirring, bold piece! It would be wonderful to hear it again, but I can't find it anywhere on KZfaq.

Very touching...bravo....¡

This is definitely NOT Cuddesdon! (But whatever it is, it is rather stylishly played!)

A beautiful and great recording! Very well played! I like it very much! Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Germany! 👍

Mijn bijzondere dank: u hebt dat goed gespeeld , knap geregistreerd op het orgel en de beelden van de video zijn onheilspellend en dat past - helaas - bij de mens die zich in toenemende mate vergrijpt aan de medemens en aan de natuur.

A masterpiece indeed and all in only 6 minutes.

Fascinating. The key changes really pull you in.

Thank you for posting this calming atmospheric piece, which is an antidote to the commercial aspects of 'Halloween', as I write ! I came across this a few years ago in my coll. of ' The Village Organist' volumes, playing it with ( hopefully) good effect one Easter morning. Certainly, I shall revive it next year, if I am spared, at the appropriate time.

Another translation is "Dearest Jesus, we are here. " Both are lovely.

Beautifully played! I love playing these as well.

This will always be on my top ten list of favorite hymns! Thanks for playing it!

My favorite! Lovely. Even playing Bach's harmonization first!

Best hymn in my life

geoffrey grifgith in philadelphia usa formerly of all saints anglican church choirs in st peter in the 1960 ties this is one of my favorite hymns i sing it every day and when i hear it at other services i am so very hapoy amen

Beautifully played, Peter! Lovely. 🎶🙏🎶

Thanks for the music and the paintings. They are a good match!

A great recording! I like it very much! Thanks for uploading!!

Joseph Addison not only wrote his beautiful hymn but also the play Cato which influenced the founding fathers of America to think about the possibility of our becoming a republic. The better known founders could be heard quoting the play. Example: "Give me liberty or give me death" [Patrick Henry] was lifted right out of the play. Addison wrote this hymn in response to God' having saved him from a terrible ship wreck.

Lovely music, perfect photo

Lovely!

Really enjoyable. Masterful playing.
