Gorgeous hymn performed in a really sprightly fashion

Thanks!

Remember this hymn was played at Canterbury Cathedral as Pope John Paul 2nd and Archbishop Robert Runcie were leaving in 1982 , a day that history was made. The pipe organ is the only instrument I love hearing in a church, it is truly the king of instruments.

Tom Ryan yes , I agree with that. So many churches these days are far too contemporary, if it’s one thing I can’t wrap my head around is guitar, synth and pre recorded music. It’s tacky . The organ is an eternal and ethereal musical instrument

TheRenaissanceman65 l loved the “hymn sings” when I was a child in the ‘50’s. So many old and beautiful tunes with words that praise God.

Tom you got that right.

Makes every CHRISTIAN want to stand up and sing! :-)

I chose this as a recesstional hymn for my brothers memorial service. I received so many comments from people who attened the service, that they thought it was great hymn to end with, it was very up lifting. The orangist played it at the same tempo, and sounded wonderful while the whole congregation sang. The minster was very pleased. Great stuff!!!

This is the tempo and style that lifts this hymn to the heavens. A powerful song of triumph rather than a dirge. Thank you!

Thank you for keeping the beautiful old hymns alive! This hymn was sung at the funeral of Dietrich Bonhoeffer in 1945 in London. It is a beautiful hymn to remind us that our souls are eternal "For all the saints who from their labors rest..."

Dietrich Bonhoeffer -a true Saint! I did not know this was played at his funeral. What a great hymn -if only my family will actually sing every verse as I have insttructed!

This is one of the hymns I have chosen for my funeral. I only hope I don't arrive too late to hear it! ;-) Seriously, this is truly magnificent! Thanks for posting, Rob!

Well? Did it work?

I like this hymn for its "uniqueness", that one single note at the beginning before the lyrics begin, and people start singing.

This is a fantastic hymn; full of Life, and stimulating; Dr. Charles plays well; to the Joy of the Listener, and the Glory of God. We sing it often in our church in Athens, Ohio, The home of O.U.

Makes every Anglican want to stand up and sing !!

Very nice. Lovely tempo--a hymn always played best in a way that makes it passable as a march, reinforcing the image of a vast phalanx of Saints.

Love this. Love a big pipe organ. Love the old hymns as well. Getting older and so fixed in my ways :)

Oh , yeah I’m with you !! I’m like that as well . Must have my older ways when it comes to organ music... this is so beautiful.

Every church should be required to have one of these and a Rob Charles to play it!

It is so refreshing to hear Hymn's that are the Traditional backbone of the Church, tunes our forefathers a mothers sang with all there hearts to the mighty organ in Victorian/Edwardian Britain, a true Belter !!.. played with passion, and Pride and a love of God .. simply Beautiful, I am so addicted to the wonder of these organs, I only wish i could learn to play them ??. it certainly has inspired me.. thankyou so much for posting :) #

I've sang to this on many a church parade in my service days. Listening to this at home and having a sing along certainly stirs the heart.

You, sir, blessed me tremendously today. Thank you so much. I want you to know how much your posting this meant to me today. Stanza 5 of this hymn gave me courage. And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, steals on the ear the distant triumph song, and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Alleluia, Alleluia!

Many Thanks really glad you enjoyed this one! :o)

Same hymn played today at the state funeral of George H.W Bush as the casket was taken from the mighty National Cathedral headed home to Texas.

Awesome! Love this piece and the playing is outstanding! Blessings in Jesus Christ! Thank You! The pipe organ in our church was donated at the turn of the 20th century by Andrew Carnegie in rural St. Paris, Ohio, United States of America!

Mary Tron so was the organ in the church I grew up in Old Zionsville, PA, a 1910 Bates & Culley. Carnegie believed every church should have a pipe organ, and he was willing to pay for it for any church who asked. The one stipulation was it has to be visible to the congregation, so it could not be installed in s loft in the back of the church. Today it has been expanded from its 20 or so ranks of pipes to 70 or so ranks of pipes and Walker digital, including a 32' reed in the pedal. Perfect for this tune.

AMEN. You got it right with the upbeat beat! This is a song to celebrate a festival day - thank you for a wonderful gift to my ears! :)

Today I lost a friend who had been the chair of the Music Committee of The Riverside Church in the City of New York during John Walker's tenure as Director of Music and Organist. Melissa Wiley Geiger was a force of nature, the salt of the earth, a fine singer, teacher and pianist in her own right and a devoted follower of all the Riverside organists and curators during her membership: Frederick Swann, John C. Walker, Timothy Smith, Christopher Johnson, Anthony Bufano (decd 1994) and Robert Pearson. Had she met Virgil Fox, who preceded Melissa at Riverside, they would have been fast friends.The world is a lesser place in her absence. I can't imagine a more fitting rendition of this great hymn in her honor. Peace be with you, Melissa. Thanks Rob.

Quite well done Rob, as usual. My dad had a rather good laugh on me for not having heard this one before. But he sung in the choir at his church growing up, so he kind of has an unfair advantage though. :-) Anyway, I got a copy of that version of Crux Fidelis made into a slide show so you can see if you have ever heard it played in this arrangement before; and of course, for the rest of the world to be able to enjoy this totally unique, one of a kind, offertory version of the popular hymn.

This is very nice thank God for everything every amen

This was a favourite of mine at school some 65 years ago, & I've sung it on many good & bad occasions since. It's one of the very few that I know all the words for all the 8 verses without reference to the book. My other favourite is "go forth with God" it's hardly ever heard these days outside of major public school occasions.
