Every time i hear this ive been to three higher things i almost cry and get goosebumps
I love hearing a bold, lone Lutheran get caught up and shout at the end!
1 We praise You and acknowledge You, O God, to be the Lord,
The Father everlasting, by all the earth adored.
To You all angel powers cry aloud, the heavens sing,
The cherubim and seraphim their praises to You bring:
“O holy, holy, holy Lord God of Sabaoth;
Your majesty and glory fill the heavens and the earth!”
2 The band of the apostles in glory sing Your praise;
The fellowship of prophets their deathless voices raise.
The martyrs of Your kingdom, a great and noble throng,
Sing with the holy Church throughout all the world this song:
“O all-majestic Father, Your true and only Son,
And Holy Spirit, Comforter-forever Three in One!”
3 You, Christ, are King of glory, the everlasting Son,
Yet You, with boundless love, sought to rescue ev’ryone:
You laid aside Your glory, were born of virgin’s womb,
Were crucified for us and were placed into a tomb;
Then by Your resurrection You won for us reprieve-
You opened heaven’s kingdom to all who would believe.
4 You sit in splendid glory, enthroned at God’s right hand,
Upholding earth and heaven by forces You command.
We know that You will come as our Judge that final day,
So help Your servants You have redeemed by blood, we pray;
May we with saints be numbered where praises never end,
In glory everlasting. Amen, O Lord, amen!
Thanks, I was hoping someone would give the lyrics.
Beautiful
Lutheran singing at its finest!
Jeff Windoloski -indeed it is!
Oh, for the day we can gather like this again.
We can, and will!
We just did!
Hearing this I can't help but think of heaven and the songs we will sing forever in the presence of the Triune God.......
There is no Trinity except in Babylonian devilworship.
There is no heaven for devilworshipper.
If you could open a Bible you woudl read all the dead are to be judged and some will live forever on Earth ruled by Jesus.
So to sum up you will not get anywhere near GOD.
You've sadly been deceived. But thanks for watching!
@EF Definitely directed to Rose White, who denies the Trinity.
@@rosewhite--- Whatever you say, dude. Do some study and then we'll talk.
I've known it as I vow to thee my country.
As a pastor, I am touched beyond compare. What an awesome call to worship! What an awesome biblical canticle!
Heretical prayer: O Mother of Perpetual Help, thou art the dispenser of all the gifts which God grants to us miserable sinners; and for this end He has made thee so powerful, so rich, and so bountiful, in order that thou mayest help us in our misery. Thou art the advocate of the most wretched and abandoned sinners who have recourse to thee: come to my aid, for I recommend myself to thee.
In thy hands I place my eternal salvation, and to thee I entrust my soul. Count me among thy most devoted servants; take me under thy protection, and it is enough for me. For, if thou protect me, I fear nothing; not from my sins, because thou wilt obtain for me the pardon of them; nor from the devils, because thou art more powerful than all hell together; nor even from Jesus, my judge, because by one prayer from thee He will be appeased.
But one thing I fear: that in the hour of temptation I may through negligence fail to have recourse to thee and thus perish miserably. Obtain for me, therefore, the pardon of my sins, love for Jesus, final perseverance, and the grace ever to have recourse to thee, O Mother of Perpetual Help.
This is a legit Catholic prayer, look up "O Mother of Perpetual Help" if you want to know if it’s legit.
This is super heretical. This doctrine of invoking departed saints doesn’t seem just like "hey it’s like praying to a friend.".

A friend of mine in college, who is now in seminary (Catholic), was the music director for a year. He went mental trying to do his best at arranging the most beautiful choirs and orchestras he could in the local church. The organ is terrible, needs to be replaced desperately, and the choir loft is tiny (it got shrunk in the 50s...) I can fully appreciate how much blood, sweat, and tears went into this from the young gentlemen playing this organ furiously in this epic video. THANK YOU! Absolutely stunning performance by all. I wish every church around the world could experience this epicness every week...

The band of the apostles in glory sing Your praise; the fellowship of prophets their deathless voices raise. The martyrs of Your kingdom, a great and noble throng, sing with the holy Church throughout all the world this song: "O all majestic Father, Your true and only Son, and Holy Spirit, Comforter -- forever Three in One!"

Thanks sounds soooo good

Renny May God airless bless you too, let me know if you need any more encouragement
I am new to Lutheranism, but not to hymns...this is majestic!
Welcome to the family!
You're missing out if you're not going to a true traditional service. The hymnal is rich with spirit filled songs but so often we only sing around 25 songs in the whole book.
Singing along is a must with this great Hymn!

Glad to see you here! :) A truly beautiful te deum! Wish we had a purer version where lyrics were more easy to understand. Thanks for adding them!
Thank you to Gustav Holst for his piece Jupiter, from which the melody for this hymn was taken.
What a beautiful hymn. It brings tears to my eyes. Glory be to God on high.
I hear this and miss church, I hope that this virus is beaten soon.
Come to Colorado. Our church is meeting and singing. We have two services, one normal, the other masked required for those with health issues and concerns. Several churches are doing this as protests. If you call it a protest, it is not shut down.
Attended a wedding this past weekend where this hymn was sung by the congregation. The bride and groom both had just graduated from Concordia College in Seward this year. Beautiful touch to a Christ centered ceremony.
We sang this at my son's wedding last weekend and it was the processional for my daughter's wedding seven weeks before that!
This was sung at my daughter's wedding 10 years ago. One of the best hymns of all time. So proud they chose this.
As a current student of Concordia Nebraska congratulations to those alumni on their wedding.
I had this as the closing hymn at my wedding 3 weeks ago. I was amazed that even several of my Lutheran (boomer) relatives did not know it, but they all loved it and commented on it. I could not imagine having a Christ centered wedding and not including this beautiful hymn of praise. We opened with the church's one foundation and closed with this.
I think my soul feels a little lighter now
I'm proud to be a Lutheran......the faith of kings, chancellors, and warriors.
me too!
LCMS, Right?
@@hspark1211 Lutheran Church Canada....essentially the same as LCMS
@@brajon70 Sweet! I love the Lutheran Church Canada!
This is glorious.
Got jump scared by my chapel 😂 love CUW!!!
Chills. Hearing that many people singing praises to the Lord just warms my heart and soul. 🙏
Not only is this hymn beautiful, it is an awesome to hear when a congregation of young people all sing it together.. God reign down your love on all those traveling this year to Higher Things conferences. I couldn't go this year, but it was an awesome thing to be a part of last year, in Mequon, Wisconsin..
I vow to thee my country all earthly things above
I want THIS LCMS!
Bring it back!
This is my favorite “new” hymn. I’ve played Holtz’s Jupiter several times in orchestra, and recognized the tune immediately, one of my favorite classical pieces. The true and uplifting words, together with the familiar melody, bring to mind the Holy Saints in Heaven singing forever to our God. To Him belongs the glory and praise!
I have grown up in the church and only recently have gotten into classical music and immediately when I listened to Jupiter recognized the tune from church😂
I instantly recognized it, having played Jupiter in concert band.
Holst
This is a great hymn!
I literally cried a flood watching this- I have never been to a HT before! I sooo want to, tho! #HigherThings
This beautiful hymn brings me to tears every time we sing it. We said goodbye to our beloved Pastor who is moving to Kansas. We begged him to stay we have had almost 12 years with Paul Rosburg what a wonderful man of God. We all sang this last night many tears. He and many of us felt the Holy Spirit. As he did when he excepted his call. This hymn says it all.
There is a LOT of video to edit and upload. We are working (almost) around the clock! Thanks for your patience!
Great hymn. What a way to sing praises to our Lord.
Wow! I wish I could have been there. How glorious to be part of this magnificent hymn, complete with timpani drums, orchestra, choir backup, and a full congregation (not to mention the procession of the cross!). Why can't we do music like this every week?!! Hold on while I watch it again (...and again...and again...).
+dreamer 58 Oh yeah I was there and it was AWESOME!
I certainly try (not the additional instruments, but the organ and choir when possible) to bring a high level of music to my congregregation week after week. With the limited resources of a rural parish, it won't be quite like this though.
I listen to this over and over and over and never tire of it. It is so uplifting! And all the musicians - just beautiful!
Every time I play this on the organ at church, I think man! What I wouldnt give for six more arms so I could have a brass section and strings! I always feel I've let the congregation down when I'm done.
Favorite hymn...coming from a 15 year old. There needs to be more hymns like this. Many are often too dull.
I'm 14 and its mine 2!
and yess, they need to be more uplifting like this one!
Worshipping the Triune God like this gives me goosebumps! To think when we get together and assemble in Christ's name, there He is, sitting at the head of our assembly, accepting our sacrifices of thanksgiving and praise, our confessions and our sorrows, our hope and our plea. The King of kings and Lord of lords, the author and artificer of all creation, actually at our assembly, presiding over the worship. Literally there with us. And when the Eucharist is given, the awe and fear we should have! The very flesh and blood of the Son of God Himself, presented and given for us sinners to eat and to drink. The life of the One who built the universe, we take in bodily. When you really let that sink in, it just blows your mind. You want the supernatural in your life, or perhaps the mystical, Christian worship is more supernatural and more mystical in its objective reality than anything in creation could possibly be. It's just clothed in the mundane for our benefit, so all our senses can participate in this, the greater truth of existence: Christ crucified for us!
I always imagine Him sitting on the altar, or behind it (if altar ain't attached to the darn wall), His face holding a posture of what a father's face might look like beholding the efforts of his young son or daughter who has made and presented a mud pie to him or drew a picture in crayon for him. A compassionate, loving, and joyful look. A face of a father who delights in his children!
How the Lord blesses His people! The Lord visits His people when they gather together in His name. The absolute honor and esteem that is bestowed upon us by this! Truly, because of this, we must be highly favored!
The hymns will be forever to sing praises to our God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit forever and ever.
I can only Worship and Praise Him!!
Wow, just wow! This brought tears to my eyes! Thank you so much for sharing this!
I had to do a double-take when I saw my university's chapel! hehe. Beautiful.
Thank you. Beautiful.
Praise our wonderful Lord!!

When I see five dislikes I am all the more reminded that sin corrupts. Beautifully done. Can you imagine how such music will resound in heaven? I feel I am getting a glimpse through what I am hearing.
+Doug Koehler Putting the best construction on everything, it's quite possible that they're from Englishmen reacting the same way we'd react to the Anglicans singing a new hymn to the tune of "America the Beautiful."
I think some of the dislikes may be due to some instruments’ notes being off key.
The musicians were attendees at a summer youth conference and only had a few mornings to practice together. Although it may not be perfect they did a very commendable job and added a wonderful accompaniment which would have been sorely missed without their contributions.
@@RobertEWaters Except this wasn't written as a hymn. Gustof Holst composed this music to represent Jupiter in his Planets collection. It was only adopted as a hymn after that.
What away to sing praises to our Lord
Yes, it's a pointer to what worship in heaven is like.
My favorite hymn-makes me cry every time; now I'm actually going to CUW next fall where this was at.... 😭
This hymn shares its melody with I Vow To Thee, a British national hymn that was a favorite of Winston Churchill.
It originates with Gustav Holst's "The Planets", specifically the piece entitled "Jupiter".
Quite true. Since Holst composed this music in the 20th century, that must mean this is contemporary worship...and people say I don't like it.
The late Princess Diana's favorite hymn & was sung at her funeral.
@@felicia5 cool! It's a very nice hymn.
This wasn't what I meant to listen to - but it overwhelms me again. I so hope it isn't the glorious music, but more it's the redeemed ones singing and playing of the glory of our Lord, and of the marvelous company of Witnesses, of whom they and we are a part. Such a glimpse of heaven. God be praised!!
We love the setting and had to listen to it twice in a row. Thank you for sharing this with the world!
Amen, O Lord, amen.
May i sing your praises of glory in your house forever oh lord! PRAISE THE HOLY TRINITY!
I am more into Gothic Style Churches, but there is something special about this churches design.
Smileallthetime you need to come to St Paul's Luth Ft Wayne Indiana!
I'm just gonna put this out there... This hymn is one of the greatest hymns written in the 20th century! Such amazing imagery in the lyrics!
15 papists dislike this amazing hymn
I’m Catholic...the true faith...and up voted this...so it’s not all ‘papists’ as you say....
@@NolePaul2010 Maybe not the true faith, but I think they were athiests not catholics
@@NolePaul2010 Lutheranism is the true faith, we base everything off the bible. At least your christian. Nobody knows what will happen on the final day, but maybe we are both right and both wrong.
What I find cool is that my cousin had his marriage here, and although I was much younger I remember it. I didn't even know of this event, and as I first watched the video, I was wondering why the church looked so familiar. Sure enough, it isn't even too far from where I live.
This is just wonderful - really up-lifting. Will try and use it in my church.
"sole Deo Gloria"!
Th choice was simple. Oh so simple. So clear. What a beautiful posting, ..please keep posting see wonderful hymns. They remind me of what we will be sing to God forever when we reach the heavenly home.
Beautiful.😁 💖
To the Lord be all things!!
Love this hymn...
My alma mater. 1959, downtown Milwaukee, Wisc. Must go see Concordia U. at Mequon, Wisc.
Truly awesome
I had no idea that this song was a hymn. I had only ever heard it in instrumental form.
I really look forward to meeting Ambrose of Milan.
Wow wow wow this made me so happy
"woo!"
Would love to see this video with the lyrics included.

Let Jesus sing the hymns for he is on the cross
I don't understand what you mean but thanks for watching!!
Higher Things, Inc. why not hire a Cantor that’s sings the hymns and psalms
@@anthonypisculli2121 Because Lutherans sing!
Higher Things, Inc. is that a Catholic Church or episcopal church
@@anthonypisculli2121 It's the chapel at Concordia Lutheran Wisconsin.
Man, I love Concordia University Wisconsin :)
Me too, until they went woke.
Being a Confessional Lutheran is the best. Prove me wrong. Pro tip: you can’t
We sure sound like Lutherans at the end.. “Whoo”. Lol
Sometimes Lutherans can get spontaneously excited ;)

Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry, 1st Baronet (27 February 1848 - 7 October 1918) was an English composer, teacher and historian of music.
Parry's first major works appeared in 1880. As a composer he is best known for the choral song "Jerusalem",
All correct, but what does that have to do with the video? This tune was written by Gustav Holst (1874-1934) as part of his suite The Planets (1916).
@@michaelowens5394 I think the other guy wrote the hymn. They, (Christians,) also sing: 'I Vow To Thee;' along to this tune.
The music is from the "Jupiter" section of Gustav Holst's "The Planets." But it's best known as the tune of the English patriotic song "I Vow to Thee, My Country," traditionally sung on Remembrance Day (their Memorial Day, held on our Veteran's Day).It was sung at the funerals of Winston Churchill and Princess Diana, and Prince William and Princess Kate used it as their wedding march.

Here in the philippines. Our catholic church composed a very uprising and happy tone =)
Music by Holst
Gorgeous service. Wish I had been there for that one! Where is it?
The chapel at Concordia University Wisconsin
And Sing My Tongue The Glorious Battle?? :)
this song also has a different name Jupiter seriously
The tune is Holst's "Jupiter." It's not unusual for hymns to use existing tunes. :)
@@melissaalfeld8458 it is also the British patriotic anthem I vow to Thee My Country. Which they sing every Remembrance Sunday (Sunday before 11/11).

second verse is wrong as it implies the dead can sing when the Jesus and the Bible say the dead are in their graves and their thoughts have perished until Judgment Day.
Rose White, if I’m reading correctly, the second verse is a continuation of the first, a capturing of John’s Revelation whereby he is given to see the Throne-room of God in its glory and majesty where the cherubim and seraphim sing their Te Deum without ceasing (Revelation 4:8), joined by all the voices of apostles, prophets, martyrs, and nations, the whole Church (Revelation 5 and 7).
@@timothyshoup886 Rev 7:13 asks who are the 144,000 souls in white robes.
They are the 144,000 Christian martyrs killed during the Tribulation. The death of the 144,000th is the trigger for Jesus to return to rapture off the remaining Christians and then have his angels set about slaughtering all the pagans as listed in Revelation 22:15.
All other Christian martyrs killed since John the Baptist are still in their graves waiting the arrival of Jesus and his angels.
Rev 7:13
'13And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.'
1 Thessalonians 4:14 explains it best:
'14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.'
@@rosewhite--- Listen to the words. Read the Bible. There is no such thing as the 'rapture' -- it's man-made theology.
@@johnmarquardt1991 OK so you call Paul a liar over his words at 1 Thes 4:14 - and he is the guy who spoke directly with Jesus?
I think you need to reread the Bible.
Rev 5:11 is clearly referring to the myriads of myriads of angels not dead humans: 'and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;'
6:9-10-11 is clearly a futuristic vision as the sun has not yet been darkened nor have the stars fallen as 12-13 says.. 'And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
