I went to a Church of England school in Africa. Time stopped when I listened to this. It feeds my soul with the liturgical diet I grew up on.
This is a very beautiful hymn. I used to play and sing this a lot as it was my mother's favorite hymn. Since she passed almost 20 years ago, I still find that I cannot play and sing this hymn as often, it brings tears to my eyes, even in church.
The signature and opening hymn in the Billy Graham crusades. (may he R.I.P.)
Rob, your music brings such peace and joy ... thank you from the bottom of my heart.
PRECIOUS OLD HYMN, I LOVE IT, ROB DOING EXCELLENT JOB! YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TOUCH ON THAT ORGAN.
This one always give me the shivers, especially when played on such an awesome instrument as the famous Conker, er, Conacher at All Saints Church!!!
Thanks for sharing, sir!
I love this hymn! Would love to play on an organ like this, im playing an old american pump organ. Gos all those stops mine has 20. You play amazingly.
Hi Again Rob - I reiterate my comments from your video "Amazing Grace", truly wonderful and inspiring music. This was my mom's favourite hymn, she was a very religious woman who lived until 96 and prayed to God every day. My dad passed on 20 years ago when he was 81, he had a Hammond organ and played this for her quite often. Thanks you so much for the enjoyment you bring to people and the memories you bring back to me. God Bless You!!!
OMG I was just asking you about this song and i found it I can't believe it God bless you sir this is another hymn I love also my moms Favorite song May she rest in peace
I love this song . especially around Easter time in Church at our lady of the angels Catholic Church thank you Rob for that enjoying and comfortable song May god bless you at Easter time in 2020
And funerals. Do not forget funerals. This is played at a huge number of funerals. Today I served a funeral for a friends family member, and this was played on our $5 million electric organ. It sounds really nice, but it sounds great in this video too.
A very famous and popular hymn this, always stirs up emotion, very nice Rob :-)
A beautiful hymn both music and the marvelous words. Thanks, Rob!

@FRAGIORGIO1 By the way, I read that the music was from an original Russian hymn!
Can I ask how long you have been playing MR charles? im 48 and play pipe organ for my local church, its a very old two manual pipe organ, six stops it serves us but nothing like what you play. I do want to eventually have organ lessons on a cathedral standard organ. Best wishes and thanks for uploads

I recently lost a friend who was a pianist, and organist for my church. For some reason I can't get the memory of her playing this at mass when I was very little. I think its a fantastic song to remember her by. I love you Gramma Marge
Thanks Tom, and sorry to hear of your loss on your friend!
