      Hi Jan. Thanks for watching and commenting. You've piqued my curiosity. We recorded the text as the composer John Rutter set it. Your comment made me think that maybe Rutter altered the hymn text to allow for a more universal meaning. After perusing about 20 different hymnal settings published over the last 100 years, I can't find a single one that lists the text as you describe it, nor can I find anything online. Can you share your source for the original text as published by Pierpoint? I'd be curious to know what other revisions, if any, have happened to the text over the years. Thanks in advance!

    • @janwade7724
      @janwade7724 Před 2 lety

      @@brianpappal i mean no disrespect in my comment.
      Pierpoint's "Friend above" version pertains about Jesus.
      While Rutter's "friends above" version pertains about dead friends which believed mostly by Roman Catholics. That when a person dies, his soul goes to hell, purgatory, or heaven.

    Out of curiosity, what is the belief, what faith do you all hold? I ask this, because the bible does not say anywhere that women use lipstick, etc ... On the contrary, her head should be covered when she does a job, especially since her hair is cut and dyed. 1 Corinthians 11: 5, 6, 13, 15
