Yes, sung at my wedding and also my parents' funerals. Just the most beautiful hymn.

Picture the scene if you will - An 8 year old boy sat in assembly at a Methodist school in Preston Lancashire. The teachers and some of my friends are attempting to sing this wonderful hymn but I am just staring down at the ground. The song is gently flowing along and arrives at the lyric/ melody " AND GIVE US WE PRAY" Something wonderful and I guess spiritual happened inside that little boys head. What was that wonderful sound I just heard!? I am now 49 and this year been offered a publishing deal for my song Over My Head. What an amazing God giving blessing music is👋

Love this hymn. It makes me cry

A most beautiful hymn to start and/or end the day. It encompasses the entire Christian belief. Would love to hear these same performers 11 years later.

Love this beautiful htmm. I sang it as a child 70 years ago. It just popped up to. Thank you God I needed it today.

You got it, Kathleen. That's how it works. Small miracles like this are all around us - thousands of them. The big miracles are more tricky, apparently. Maybe millions or billions have to want something at the same time? I don't know. Tomorrow we are supposed to pray (again) to bring the Holy Spirit into whatever soul Putin has left. This is Lent and we are to pray for our enemies, as well as those we love. It's hard so that makes it a perfect task for Lent. I don't see any other method working, but I DO have faith in that one.

This was my favourite hymn in school!! It brings such warm childhood memories. Thank You Lord and may your Name be praised always. Amen!

Morning assembly in my secondary school 1970s. I can still recall singing that hymn and others, albeit 40 years past. Beautiful then, beautiful now You just don't know, at the time, that those songs would become part of your long term wonderful memories. 😊😍💕👩🏾‍💻👨🏾‍💻💖

Absolutely love this hymn, reminds me of the days of growing up as a child, with no cares and worries.

In my opinion the most beautiful hymn ever written. Always lifts my soul when I’m down.

I so loved this hymn at school assembly some 55 years ago,, nothings changed and every word is so true.. it still leaves me with the same inner spiritual feeling!!!

This was played at the funeral the wonderful Reverend John S. Kromer, who was rector of my home church during my formative years. It's a beautiful hymn, and I am always reminded of him when I hear it.

We had this at my dad’s funeral. He loved this hymn. It is also appropriate in its lyrics with the end of the day being like the end of our journey on this earth.

Hard to imagine that assemblies did indeed take place every day, with all of us (1000?) getting together for prayers and hymns (of course kids had the right to be excused even then). No kids would ever have admitted to liking singing hymns, I guess; but there were definitely some that we sang with more gusto than others. Like this one. And as we did this in comprehensives in the 70s we were just following in the Muscular Christinaity footsteps that had for many decades prepared pupils at schools of all kinds in Britain for the idea of sacrifice in the name of something bigger and greater than ourselves, transcending beyond what we saw as our humdrum lives. The words never left me, and neither - really - did the approach. So Britain is full of atheists who in many ways act in a more Christlike way than they ever realise. It's OK.

This has given me so much peace since the passing of my father 5 weeks ago

We sang it as the recessional hymn at my Catholic church today. I needed this message this morning. It has always been a favorite. I took a photo of the song and then, when I got home, wondered if I could find it on KZread. Of course ... KZread! Absolutely beautiful!

Beautiful. We chose this for our wedding 30 years ago. My favourite hymn.

Words by Jan Struther(she wrote" Mrs. Miniver") to an amazing Irish folk melody:SLANE

This hymn keeps me going all day, every day.

My uncle recently got married and this was the last hymn sung, the whole day was so beautiful.

Lord Of All Hopefulness Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy, Whose trust, ever childlike, no cares could destroy, Be there at our waking, and give us, we pray, Your bliss in our hearts, Lord, At the break of the day. Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith, Whose strong hands were skilled at the plane and the lathe, Be there at our labours and give us, we pray, Your strength in our hearts, Lord, At the noon of the day. Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace, Your hands swift to welcome, Your arms to embrace. Be there at our homing, and give us, we pray, Your love in our hearts, Lord, At the eve of the day. Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm, Whose voice is contentment, whose presence is balm, Be there at our sleeping, and give us, we pray, Your peace in our hearts, Lord, At the end of the day.

I remember this from my childhood my mother used to sing it as she worked.

I miss singing in the choir but God knows it all. I have prayed for this day through this song. Thanks for uploading.

I am not exactly a Christian.. I have more of an open mind in terms that we can learn truths from all religions but as a child I was many times cast as Mary in our Christmas school plays and I absolutely loved to sing songs such as glory to god on the highest! I would say that I am an ever hopeful agnostic; but I love this hymn!

I would have agreed with you for most of my life, until just over a year ago. "Born again" is never a term I would have had for myself, but it DID happen - very tangibly. My story is not untypical. I was overwhelmed by a scary-looking diagnosis, and asked - not to be healed - but to be cleansed of my sins, which (just as the BOOK says) became unbearable all of a sudden. And it really, really happened. Since then I have been showing all the signs that everybody talks about - I read The Bible and kiss the pages when I read what Jesus and St. Paul and James and others wrote or said, I understand things and see things and find there are signs all around us. Yes, maybe I have gone mad, but boy is it ever a wonderful kind of madness - so productive, so meaningful, so connected. I have 500 things to do now (pressing emails included), yet my joy is to write to you instead - just as the wonderful Paraclete would have me do. And - despite the fact that I shall be giving away some of my love to you - I know that I shall have more than I had before by the time I finish writing. That's the miracle. I sure do recommend it, Teresa. I see the Spirit in music - certainly not every piece has it, but some REALLY do. Try "Hand of Fate 1 and 2" from the divinely-inspired movie "Signs" with Mel Gibson. Maybe the music starts of scary (as suits the film), but stick with it - the bit that accompanies the characters realising that they are part of God's great plan in which nothing is by chance has - many people feel - THE SAME EFFECT ON US IN THE AUDIENCE AS WE LISTEN. Just exactly the way the ever-resourceful Spirit operates! Multi-level, innovative, meaningful, forgiving, connecting. "Signs" was made to try and help people get back after 9/11 - of course the Holy Spirit would not miss such a chance, and did not do so...

Beautiful, I listen to this often. God bless you for this version.

what a hymn i want it sung at the end of my days

Spiritually and physically motivating! To God be the glory!

Praise the Lord Almighty for this beautiful song of worship!🙏 You're the all powerful one and we love you.

The text for this lovely hymn is Jan Struther. She was the author of the novel “Mrs. Miniver” which was made into a movie starring Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon in 1942.

From a taditional Irish tune called Slane. The clarinetist is also mixing it in with another irish tune 'She moved through the fair'

Beautiful Hymn, My husband and I sang this in our Church Choir.

A glorious hymn celebrating the greatness, kindness and unfathomable love of our Lord and God, the Maker of the heavens and the earth (Gen 1:1). May the Almighty continue to bless you all in the choral team forever and ever. Amen🙏.

Absolutely exquisite! I sang this beautiful hymn as a lad. Fond memories.

Love this hymn, the arrangement, and the choir. Absolutely beautiful.

what a pleasant arrangement to hear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise God

Show love to the Lord, as he loves us all....

I am an atheist, but this is such a great hymn

Beautiful! Thank you for posting. Without sounding morbid, I have chosen this hymn for my funeral. It’s a very lovely prayer of praise and hopefulness, as the song title suggests.

one of my favorite hymns - very beautiful

I really love this hymn.

Praise the Lord. Only He is good

This is so beautiful. I heard it as Mass today. Just what I needed to hear.

Reminds me of Secondary school in Freetown and Assembly at Boarding School in England

We used this in our on line worship service. It is the most beautiful recording of Slane I've ever heard. Thank you so much for sharing it.

Absolutely Magnificent. Praise Him ❤️🙏🏻

Beautiful hymn one of my all time favorites. Here it is sung A1 to me

Absolutely Beautiful!
