Does anyone else ever think as they listen to this, that if so many of the people with anger, hurt and disappointment in this world who channel all their energy into wrong and destructive things, listened to this, that the thing that underpins us all - to love and be loved - would be revealed to them, more than any therapist or self-help book could achieve, and they might actually feel some healing. I haven’t articulated it so well here (as I find it hard to do so) but I feel this quite strongly. So many people are looking for fundamental love and acceptance and when I hear this, it just completely envelops me.

I used to teach in High School (Indonesia). I once proposed to my principal that the students who were problematic be sent to the choir practice for the whole year. Although some didn't change their ways after the project, most were reported to have demonstrated at least a slight change of behavior. And to some of them, it really had a lasting impact. That was probably one of the hallmarks of my entire life.. I was inspired by the movie Les Choristes

Your articulation is fine! I use thiis piece daily as a blessing for myself, on awakening. Music, song is one of the sweetest,most powerful gift from God. It is a fast channel to our spiritual self and the other side of life. (Btw, I used to ask that question about John Rutter, then I heard he was recognized for his great work with some title. Must seek that out.)

Healing, yes. And we do well to recognize how often we can return to this "musical medicine" --- daily, weekly...There's no ON/OFF button with healing; it's a process.

The Amens are what I hope to hear one day in heaven ❤️

Rutter is a God's gift to whole Church.

Still can’t work out why our wonderful John Rutter isn’t SIR John Rutter yet. The man’s a legend.

John Rutter is truly underrated and under appreciated. His music is so inspiring to hear and perform. Imagine how many souls have been saved because of the divine messages his music delivers.

I am a tenor in Welkom South Africa. What a privilege and pleasure to sing John Rutter compositions! Exceptional beauty! Thank you Sir!

When I was a freshman in college I had orchestra practice in the same room that the choir rehearsed. We were always there early because there was always a rush to set up. The choir always ended with this song. It was my first introduction to choral music. The first time I heard them sing it I thought that's what heaven must sound like. It still moves my heart to hear it.

Some men of this world create wars and division whilst this Hymn unites us as one family of OUR world. God Bless you ALL, ALWAYS . . . .

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard of had the honor of singing. In college choir we closed out every performance with this piece.

Jestem organistą w Polsce w Zielonej Górze i od kilkunastu lat gram ten utwór na Nowy Rok - przepieknie błogosławieństwo Aaronickie. Rutter to wielki kompozytor obok Jennkinsa.

My church choir joined in this year. What a blessing and pleasure to sing such beautiful with John Rutter, the composer, conducting us. I love his music.

Thank You John Rutter for your brilliance and dedication through these difficult times !

I love this song... and it was sung by the choir when my son on their wedding day asked blessings from us the parents

My high school chamber choir traveled to England to sing with him as our conductor 40+ years ago. A truly exhilarating and spiritual moment.

I have loved John Rutters music for such a long time...classic...

...and all things come to those who wait. He promises to bless us with blessing, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, overflowing, and if you wait for it with unshakeable faith in His goodness, it will come....

Praise and glory to our Heavenly Father for this music and these words! Thanks be to God!

I love John Rutter and grateful to my High School choir Teacher for teaching us these beautiful works of Art. It will be with me until the day I die.🙏🏽

Early on, his compositions were sadly NOT very well liked by some conductors/singers. "Eccentric" being the word most often used. Those peoples' names will never be remembered by history. Rutter's name most certainly will be!

John Rutter sings through my soul. Lord, may I go out of this world with his music resonating?

Heavenly song ,Jesus Christ presence listening to this choir 😇😇😇👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This choir actually seems to believe their music, vs. Certain Other Choirs'. Rutter's music is so blessed! He got my dad who claimed he could only sing "four notes" at the deep-base end to join a choir for twenty years before his nerve disease overtook in his 90's after I recorded Rutter's recordings for my beloved parents' cassette tape player (my parents are the beloved, but that cassette player did blast a lot of great music over the years!).

I absolutely love this song!

I wish I could click the thumbs up every time this comes up in my playlist -- not only is Rutter's setting incredible in its own right, the quality of the vast number of voices here brings a wideness to its meaning. Thank you for giving this to us!

This majestic and solemn chorus is beyond description , splendid , impressive , and full of admiration and emotion , and comfortable to the ear and the mind

He is a national treasure for the British Empire. He richly deserves the honor. But what do i know? I’m only an american.

Lovely heavenly music

Thank you so much for posting this lovely, deep music.

I love John Rutter and his choir!

John Rutter directing and Fred Swann on the organ. Can’t get much better than that!

Praise the Lord.

Listen to this in total darkness, and i defy you not to weep tears from your very soul !

Voice from heaven ❤️

Amen. Thank you John and the choir. 🙏

Wonderful

praise the Lord Jesus Christ for the songs composed by John Rutter. God always bless us always.

Bravo, John Rutter!!

The voices of the women are so beautiful. High quality air flowing so sweetly from their lungs. This is the first time that I've heard such a measure of collective excellence since the Luton Girls Choir.

it is a song awesome made by God, and it gives you peace

So very beautiful and soul restoring.

Outstanding, Thank you Every singer must have been touched by God to sing as they did. How wonderful if all prayers would be so beautifully prayed to God and meant.

Heavenly sound

こんな広い場所で多くの人達と心を一つにして音楽を集えたら、どんなに素敵な事でしょう。 今はそんな日が再び巡ってくる事を信じて、生きていきたい。

Amen. Lovely performance. Classical music is the best music to listen to

Thanks

I believe in my God of the Scripture, which is genuine, and I know that He has been blessing me throughout my life.

Awesome. Beautiful piece it is.

So soothing to the SOUL AMEN AMEN AMEN 🕯🕊🕯

The Lord Bless You and Keep You is a beautiful and well written piece of music. Its also very moving and full of emotion. He has composed such lovely music its hard to know which one to choose as a favourite. Everyone has different views on music which is good otherwise only one piece would be chosen from many others.

I love it! Happy Easter

Be blessed by the LORD!

Absolutely heavenly

Love this. So moving. Thank you John and his superb choir

Such a powerful choral piece, sung so wonderfully by all the vocal members. John Rutter does such a fine job directing all to perfection. His singers reach the heart then the emotions travel to the soul!

Outstanding. ♥️💜💞🙏🙏💓🤎♥️💜💕💖

This deserves more than 1M views !!

Beautiful.. I know this song and we already sung this piece during our concert way back in 2002 as our last song to give blessings to those who are present. Good harmony.. 🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼♩🎹😍

Absolutely beautiful.

My soul needed to hear this today. Exquisite.

Just sweeps me away... Nostalgia at its best. I do so love this. One of the most beaitufl songs I have ever heard.

My choir teacher had every year sing this song since the 70s, and it was always everyone's favorite. Incredible.

The Royal Wedding 2018 brought me here ❤ pure Love and Light! Thanks for posting!

What an amazing experience it would be to be directed by John Rutter on this piece!!

A blessing from God to all.

Amen😊 Peace that paseth all human understanding

Jesus loves you

Me and my choir sang this on the funeral of our choir's master in march this year.

I also cannot fathom out why a sportsperson with a paltry 5-10 year career can be knighted for winning a medal, while this national (and international) treasure still waits in the wings ............... a sad indictment on the world's priorities.

Praise the lord!

Simply gorgeous! That many voices, this is just incredibly powerful!

Perfect

My daughter had this sung at her wedding ❤

so beautifully and movingly sung

Anche Il coro degli angeli per una volta si è fermato ed ha ascoltato questo canto del grande Maestro RUTTER. Magnifico.....

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION! Amen!

John, thank you.. the Playlist was a real Worship Winner with all. Blessings!

Soothing. Uplifting. Reassuring.

You're very good and Rutter is really brilliant. My choir sang Candlelight Carol during one of our last performances using a new arrangement. Write this in the search: you will surely like it. Corale Novarmonia - Candlelight Carol (J. Rutter)

I will sing this song the next 5th September in a wedding Mass

Beautiful. I know there is the older composition. It has its place as well. But this is just beautiful; just beautiful!
