- čas přidán 24. 12. 2009
- Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly minded,
For with blessing is His hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
Our full homage to demand.
King of kings, Yet born of Mary,
As of old earth He stood,
Lord of lords, In human vesture,
In the body and the blood;
He will give to all the faithful.
His own self for heavenly food.
Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
As Light of light descendeth
from the realms of endless day,
That the powers of hell may vanish
as the darkness clears away.
At His feet the six-winged seraph,
Cherubim, With sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to His presence
as with ceaseless voice they cry:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Lord Most High! - Hudba
Fernando Ortega's style... He leads you to the cross, and then without you even noticing... he slowly moves away so you can engage with the Lord.
This statement here is absolutely beautiful...amen, praise the name of the LORD
@@sherryannefelix3707 I saw April’s comment and thought ‘what a beautiful comment’ and then see you wrote exactly that
It's been said already, but that was truly a beautiful statement which I believe would be highly appreciated by the artist
WOW!! Beautiful @AprilJoi5!!! I just love this and absolutely LOVE this hymn!!! Beautifully sung!!
I can nothing but cry.
Come soon my Savior Jesus Christ.
Come soon.
I am tired of this world. 😢
Thank you Jesus Christ for I am under your Precious BLOOD.
From Randi in Denmark 🇩🇰
Worshiping today through this song. May Jesus be praised.Bless you Fernando for singing this song.
By some accident I have this playing in two windows simultaneously, starting at different points and it's making an incredible round.
Still a amazing hymn
How you doing now
Well composed music beautiful voice
I must try this! In "single sound" it's amazing! In double, like a round? Must be incredible!
Thanks🙏🏼❤️
One of the most beautiful hymns I've ever heard.
It's also from the 4th century. such a good god glorifying hymn it sounds beautiful
Yes, it is.
Praise the Lord.......
The oldest one
Fernando Ortega's music has helped me through my depression and my spiritual crises so many times it's not funny. God bless you, good man. Absolutely God bless you.
Same for me while I was recovering from the loss of a spouse 14 years ago
@@BobfromSalem My husband died 9/24/2018 so I know what you mean. This song was beautiful but mournful for what Christ went through for us but is now glorified at God's right hand.
Ive been wondering why God allows so much suffering. The “free will” reply is not Biblical; certainly not in it’s simplistic form, but actually not at all. We were dead and trapped in sin, as many now are and I often feel like. Bible says it is because He knows the arc of redemptive history is better than if He had no let the serpent into the garden (or even made the serpent). For example in Gal 3.21-26 and Rom 8.16-34. He gave Satan certain dominion and His heart breaks with us and the battle is real, with Christ saving. But He did that because it is better in the long run. Been listening to NDE’s and they have truth exuding from them, about Heaven. To make and set free living souls holy and blameless before Him in love is apparently no small task. I guess making real love, real joy, real freedom and meaning victory and holiness require such. Clearly the eternal can wipe away everything and make ANY amount of suffering worth it. (I am endlessly amazed at the number of Christians who speak at length about the problems of pain and evil without even once mentioning Heaven and Eternity. Almost all will do that.)
But that formula of infinite benefit outweighing anything finite is often largely intellectual and theoretical for me. However, the evidence for it is surprisingly substantial once I looked, plus faith and the Holy Spirit telling our souls.
But on a gut level, it is slowly sinking in. For example, your comment, the song they wrote, ortega’s performance of it... are all examples of a maturity and *goodness* and holiness that so clearly required the hard knocks of life in the past. God bless you for that Kitty.
AMEN AMEN AMEN.
Absolutely beautiful!! Played this on the piano for the first time in church last Sunday and it is now one of my favorites
Thank you Lord for your body and blood! Thank you for making your dwelling amongst us undeserving sinners.
I believe Fernando's voice is a secret to his unique spirit of wisdom from Jesus Christ
"Lord of Lords in human vesture, in the Body and the Blood" 😭 That's why I love singing this song when we take part in the Eucharist at Mass. It's such a calm and haunting melody that really makes us think about the reality of Christ and what we are receiving in Communion.
My exact thought too. Very well said. Our Lord loves us beyond our human comprehension.
I just looked up the word 'vesture;' it means more than just covering. "Vesture" includes the covering of the land in every crop (except trees.) Doesn't that sound like 'Food' to you? 🥖🍷 This song is my prayer for our country and world right now. Thank you.
Repent from your sins guys, because your religion is an idolatry to God. It is man made, fake Christ and fake God. The one who you should follow the true Christ and God is Christian. Repent and give your life to Christ.
Such a beautiful song it has made a difference in my life and thank you God for sending your son down to earth to free us from sin
Absolutely the most gorgeous version of this hymn I have ever heard.
All these worshipful songs
are warm, mellow, heartfelt.
Thanks for low-key meditative
music, all about Him! JESUS.
I keep coming back to this amazing song and video, and I am touched each time. I love playing along on my violin and watching the visuals, and when I do, magic happens. Thank you for this and God Bless everyone listening/reading
“At His feet the six-winged Seraph Cherubim with sleepless eye veil their faces to His Presence as with ceaseless voice they cry:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Lord Most High!
a paraphrase from Isaiah 6:2,3
Fernando Ortega...
One of the greatest worship leaders of all time...
Maybe only second to King David.
The fact that Jesus Christ died is more important than the fact that I shall die, and the fact that Jesus Christ rose from the dead is the sole ground of my hope that I, too, shall be raised on the Last Day. Our salvation is "external to us." I find no salvation in my life history, but only in the history of Jesus Christ.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The last verse and the mental imagery it comes with brings me nearly to tears every time.
Absolutely love this. Beautiful to pray with, to sing with, to dwell with. The lyrics are so powerful. To God be the glory, forever and ever! Amen.
When we understand who Jesus Christ is..........our heartfelt response is to fall on our face and cry Holy Holy Holy...with surrendered heart, mind and will - joyfully to serve you LORD OF LORDS most high - by your Holy WORD implanted and your Holy Spirit indwelling. Amen
And to fall to our knees to honor and adore our Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior. Jean.
Amen Amen❤
This hymn has always had a very special meaning to me. It's an old French tune and is known as The Story of Jesus Christ, translated. We used to sing the French version in French class. Ever since, this hymn as sung here, has become my favorite non-Christmas hymn. :-) Thank you for posting!
every time I feel that I am moving away from God because eagerness of this world, I listen to Fernando Ortega, and immediately his music makes me move my heart and fall to my knees and have that intimate communion with my Lord again
My writing english is no very well, Im sorry if there is some wrong expresion.
GOD BLESS IU
I saw this song in my harp book and was curious about how it sound. I've never heard of this song and instantly was brought to tears. This is beautiful.
Too beautiful to describe! Tears flow from me, regardless of how many times I sing it. Sorry Lord, I try but you mean too much to me to finish...
Me too.
It made me cry too -- it is 12/18/2019 today.
Well said
I am speechless, when I listened to this song.
Anyone listening in 2018???
Still listening to this wonderful song November 2018
Hannah X Still listening to the Lord and great hymns in Nov. 2018.
me
Yep
Yes. I broke my ankle and I’m on mandatory bed rest for at least two more weeks. I’m working on repairs to our family’s “soft” nativity.
I'm rendered speechless...every time.
Notice the present tense: "Christ our God to earth descendeth".
That is what happens at each and every Catholic Mass!!
I am SO excited about coming home to the Catholic Church!
God himself comes down from heaven and he physically enters everyone who receives Holy Communion.
Wow.
It is appropriate for using during Christmas as well as other seasons. I am using for for Advent 2 this week. It also fits for Lent. Actually it is a great one for Holy Eucharist any time during the church calendar.
Que gran canción, para un cantante especial como es Fernando Ortega. Nunca me canso de escuchar sus canciones. Verdaderamente es un adorador de Dios
tells us how much Jesus loved us !!!!
This hymn is awesome, in the original sense of the word.
I like how dark it sounds. Not many church songs sound this dark (that we sing in my church) I think it's very beautiful and is sung in one of my favorite keys.
Agreed. I just started as an alternate musician at my Church, and I love playing old minor key hymns like this
It's the right setting as the author takes us to Gethsemane
Lots of anglican hymns have this flavor, especially organ pieces
You'll hear hymns like this especially during Lent in lot of Catholic churches.
It's supposed to provoke feelings of reverence, fear, & awe in us, something largely lost in the modern church.
Praise LORD GOD ALMIGHTY !!!
AMEN! TO GOD BE THE GLORY, NOW AND FOREVER!!
Glad that no one has disliked this video...not the video per se but the words of the song...absolutely beautiful and humbling...blessed be the name of the LORD most High
What a great song. Praise God it has lasted since the 4th century.
I have just discovered this hymn this year. This is beautifully sung here. The song is so lovely in both melody and lyric, that it would be superfluous to use vocal acrobatics in any way. The vocals here render it perfectly, with the emphasis on worship of God, not personal performance. Amazing. Thank you for it.
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth. Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua. Hosanna in excelsis.
Amen
Benedictus Qui Venit in Nomine Domine. Hosanna in excelsis.
So beautiful. I love the old deeply spiritual hymns of Christmas. Thank you!
Please. Let is just enjoy the blessings of this awesome Holy song. ..Praise HIM...ponder nothing earthly minded..
hi Miss Opinionated I have not seen you in a long time. This is one of my most favorite hymns, it is so solemn and grave.
our FULL HOMAGE TO DEMAND, may it be so.
I love the part when singing RANK ON RANK THE HOST OF HEAVEN SPREADS IT VANGUARD ON ITS WAY..
well said , But beyond the words YOU must go!
very respectful
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard . Truly captures our good Lord. I have a schizophrenic cat that this calms him immediately, truly an answer to my prayers.
This is the first time I've heard this song with lyrics. Until now, the only version I've known was instrumental, arranged and performed by Kildare on their Christmas album "Celtic Carols". If I ever teach music theory or songwriting, I'm going to use this song as an example of the beauty found in simplicity. The message is deeply moving as well. Thank you for sharing.
The tune is called Picardy. There's a number of hymns that are set to it.
I have been humming this for a while and didn't know the name. How wonderful to find it sung by this beautiful voice!
Thank you for this. This is my prayer for my country and the world right now. Amen. 🍻🙏
Makes me feel as if I am in heaven.
Beautiful Catholic Adoration Hymn! Thanks for posting.
Greek Orthodox actually.
Deb Staton it’s on page 80 in the Baptist Hymnal.
I love this
vOne of my favorites; very soothing and meditative.
A most beautiful song!
rates as highly as St. Thomas Aquinas's Eucharistic hymns of such sublimeness, in its beauty and majesty, and melody
I love this song and his voice.
I just love it this is 1 of the most prettiest Christmas songs!
It is not only a Christmas song, it can be sung all year during the Distribution of the Holy Eucharist [although the last verse must be omitted if used in Lent because of the Alleluia].
Reminds me the time 10 years ago.. still awakening the heart.
About 10 days ago this song got in my head, no idea where I'd heard it. Found the words and chords and we did it last Sunday 17 Jan 2K21. People said it was beautiful. Played it in my 45 YO Epiphone 12 String.
Beautiful song I am not fully Cristian because I don't go to church but I belive in god and I play this song on the piano bless the world and the children in it
Do you want to know more from a trusted source ? Go to www.catholics.com . We believe that Jesus is really there in the Eucharist to feed us .
Sorry , that's www.catholic.com
Frank Montez oh thank you but no that's my parents dessicion but thank you for offering
BrandonX15 Yeah. Thank you.... I've seen the evils in the world and that's why I believe in and worship God.
You are no less of a Christian because you don't attend church service. There are boast that they are above everyone else because they sat on a pew. (Modern day Pharisees) If you believe in Christ the Messiah, you are a Christian, and you are higher than those who think that they are worth more than you in God's eyes.
That is just beautiful!
Beautiful arrangements and photographs enhance these powerful lyrics
Still beautiful in 2020.
Praise the Lord, Jesus Christ our Lord God
Oh wow this is the prettiest I've ever listened to in my life!
GLORY TO,YHWH. GOD bless you!🤲🎶📖🙏💪
Perfect song just before Adoration. So fitting.
We sang this in church today, I had never heard this hymn before but I love it.
This is the best hymn ever Thank you so much for putting this up! AWESOME! POWERFUL!!
You can only imagine that these words are so true at the birth of God made man.
One of mine and my father's favorites - he wept every year when we sang it in church . . . such a deep and profound hymn - words adapted from an Eastern Liturgy by Gerard Moultrie maybe 150 or so years ago? Still touching souls . . .
+june Paul This has actually been sung as an Offertory Hymn since A.D. 275
Dates back to the Liturgy of Saint James, so perhaps even further! Incredible. Though this melody is much more recent.
This particular melody is a traditional French tune. The text is from a 4th century liturgy.
A humbling piece of music.
This is so beautiful ❤️
His name is Emmanuel - the God who is with us - who is made out of the same stuff we are and who is made out of the same stuff God is and who will not let either of us go.
2020 thank you most high God of Jesus of Nazareth!!!
Absolutely beautiful! Brings me to my knees in complete gratitude, love, and AWWW. Thank you!
Ancient
and written as a hymn to be sung at distribution of Holy the Eucharist ...
Our deep roots are unspeakably beautiful ❤️
Its a Cherubikon actually, the Offertory Verse in the St James Liturgy.
@@thisiswheezie
Thank you !
Never even heard of a Cherubikon before .
Great song! Reminds me 2010...
I love this hymn. I could listen to it all day! I would also love to download it.
Amen! Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
This hymn has special meaning to me, my church did a production of "The Boars Head and Yule Tide Festival" for several years, I was in it from a young age until highschool when they had to quit doing it due to funding issues. Whenever I hear this song, I go back in time to those days and cant help but get misty eyed
MY FAVORITE!! AWESOME!! I LOVE YOU JESUS!!
Oh wow this is pretty and perfect for Christmas!
I'm an atheist, but this is my favorite xian Xmas hymn.
Absolutely Beautiful Message, and song
Thank You
Love how you slowed this down, very intense!
Lord Most High!
So beautiful !
Oneof my favorite hymns. beautiful arrangement/rendition. Sort of haunting, but beautiful.
First time I ever heard this song I knew I had a new favorite
What a beautiful and appropriate hymn for today (Easter)!
Our Lord Jesus Christ highly valued the Bible. During His temptation He always answered with "It is written" (Matthew 4:1-11). When confronting the scribes and the pharisees He said repeatedly "Have you never read?" (Matthew 19:4, Mark 12:26, Luke 6:3, etc.) The Jewish church was also guided by the Holy Ghost but only as long as it was faithful. When it became unfaithful, Jesus said: "your house is left to you desolate". Don't put you faith in fallible, sinful man! Grace and peace from our Lord!
We occasionally sing this hymn at the Catholic Church I attend.
You are blessed and your family
May God bless you in all that you do for you brought this heavenly song to us
beautiful, my 2nd favourite hymn after Adoro Te Devote...if we can sing this instead of gather us in....I'd be a lot happier
Very very pretty rendition of this most beautiful and spiritual hymn.
Beautiful rendition of a fine musical experience
This is indeed an exquisite rendition. But I was fortunate to grow up in a church that had a 6 keyboard and foot board pipe organ and the Priest (Fr Weldon) that was music director and played the organ was an Angel from Heaven.
This is so amazingly beautiful. So much comfort in the words and such a beautiful voice and arrangement. Thank you, Fernando. God bless you.
This is what me and my friends sing in adoration.
My journey with faith is a complicated one so please keep your proselytising to yourself, I'm not interested in being converted but I have to say that even as an atheist I love this hymn and this is one of my favourite versions. It's deep and soulful and always makes me think.
I love this hymn it moves me to tesrs
What a great hymn...
I enjoy this song. It's emotionally moving and touching. There's no other way to describe it. Normally I would shed tears.
What a beautiful hymn.
LET ALL MORTAL FLESH KEEP SILENCE Gently sung, faithful words, well illustrated!
Yes listening in 2018 and heard the music today in church.
