When Dan works his gift on a piece of sacred music, it always brings me further up, and further in…thank you Dan!

Oh my God You are awesome

Exquisite ❤

I am the founder and executive director of the HMCS ALBERNI Museum and Memorial in Courtenay, BC Canada. On 21 August of this year (2024) we will be commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the sinking of HMCS ALBERNI and the loss of 59 of her crew with a ceremony and dedication of a permanent memorial wall listing the name of every crewman who served on the Alberni between 1941 and 1944. I've been searching CZcams for the perfect presentation of this hymn to play just before the 59 names are read aloud and this video has me in tears. I wish I could bottle everyone on the stage up in a bottle and bring them to Canada for our ceremony but alas, we don't yet have that kind of technology. This is 11 years late, but thank you all for creating such a stirring and moving version of this song.

Gorgeous stately and embracing

This is OK but you really should be listening to a Bach cantata based on a medieval chant. Much, much, much better.

Wonderful

Thank you Lord for always being our beacon of Light behind the shadows! And thank you for expressing this thought in a beautiful arrangement.

❤❤❤😢😢😢✝️🛐💟💜🤍🕯️✨🕊️🩸🛡️⚔️🔐🦺🩹😇⛵💙🙏💛🤎💖🖤🎼🎵🎶🎧💙 Just subbed. I ALWAYS am reminded of the Titanic, Second 🥈 class, Church of England priest from the East 🔚 End/White Chapel, 💒 near Toynbee Hall, London, UK 🇬🇧 (there is a plaque commemorating this Anglican priest & wife): they sang this hymn: "For those in peril on the ⛵ sea."🎵🎼🎧🎶💙🕯️✨🕊️🤍💛 on Sunday night, April 14, 1912, shortly before the Titanic stuck the 🧊 iceburg. Let ✨🕯️ light perpetual shine upon all who have di8ed at sea, of all time. Amen. 🙌💛💙 🙏💐✝️🛐🩸🛡️💟💜🤍🕯️✨🕊️🌹🐾✨🌈 🌉 ✨😇😇😇😺🐩🐕🦮🐕‍🦺

Beautifully done, is there a recording somewhere?

Dan Forrest is a prolific arranger of many hymns and he did a great job with this, giving many choristers reason enough to attend practice. 😅

a great tune ruined by a poor arrangement and prelude.

Praise the Lord, from the rising of the sun to it's setting 🙏

Truly magnificent. As a kid I heard this every Sunday morning at Bethesda Naval Hospital where my father was being treated for cancer. I request it annually on the anniversary of his death.

The best!

Dan is the best contemporary composer

My choir is doing this tomorrow. Wish us well! It’s probably my favorite song all year. These kids do an excellent job! I can only imagine the teenage eye rolls over having to stand in front of each other and hold hands while they sang it - but they were good sports. Looked like they were even enjoying it a little. 😊

watched this today live. it was awesome

❤️

Glorious!

Beautiful work, but Doc Rod looked like he was about to take flight. Study the style of Ainsworth; he conveys more with less.

LOVELY this has already become a favourite after having hearing it for the first time here. 😊

A fine performance, but I'm afraid an uninspiring arrangement which has lost the essence of the music.

Muito belo!👋👋

Belíssimo!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

i sung this arrangement in the utah treble honor choir, it's such a lovely piece.

Fantástico, tocou hoje (21/04/2024) na Rádio Cultura FM 1303,3 de São Paulo, onde o locutor comentou cada parte desta obra. 😍

so beautiful

such a surreal experience! Cant believe this was one year ago, but forever an experience I will remember!!

Very nice arrangement, majestical!

Simply beautiful 💛

Awesome! I just sang this last night with the Brevard Community Choir, Youth Choral and Brevard Symphony Orchestra in Melbourne Florida :)

First time I heard this song was at an annual band festival that is held in my area. This song instantly brought tears to my eyes. Every now and then I come back to this video to truly appreciate the beauty of this song.

Surely one of the top ten church hymns of all time--words AND tune. Millions of Christians are not learning this great music, in church or Christian radio OR Christian (or secular college.) I'll be 80 next month. I'm so thankful that my hearing is still sharp AND I have CZcams. Apr. 2, 2024, St. Joseph, MO, USA

Still here…

What a beautiful sound.Amazing!Sounds like music in heaven.

The soprano in the Agnus DEi is spectacular!!! WoW!!!

I always enjoy these wonderful hymns that are our Christian music heritage. They are ageless.

My church's choir is singing this on Sunday! I'm super stoked and nervous for my tenor solo in Lux Aeterna! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Update: I crushed it! :) Thank you for writing such an awesome composition Mr. Forrest!!

A choir wearing masks 🙄 beautiful song but yeah….

Praise the lord!! What a masterpiece! Bravo Dan!!!!

Amazing! So mistic and monumental. Would love to have it on Spotify!
