- "For all the saints" (Sine Nomine) sung in procession on All Saints' Day. (It is sung in two parts here, verses 1-4 before a station at the font, and vv. 5-8 after.)
1. For all the saints, who from their labors rest,
who thee by faith before the world confessed,
thy Name, O Jesus, be for ever blessed.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
2. Thou wast their rock, their fortress, and their might:
thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight;
thou, in the darkness drear, the one true Light.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
3. O may thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold,
fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
and win, with them, the victor's crown of gold.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
4. O blest communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
yet all are one in thee, for all are thine.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
5. And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,
steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
6. The golden evening brightens in the west;
soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest;
sweet is the calm of paradise the blest.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
7. But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day;
the saints triumphant rise in bright array;
the King of glory passes on his way.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
8. From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost:
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Words: William Walsham How
Music: Ralph Vaughan Williams (improvisations by Robert McCormick)
This is so real Feeling so close to GOD
I am a protestant and say this there is nothing to beat the majesty of
a formal procession to start matins or mass. It sets the tone of the service. And a well played. Church organ, surpasses the racket from drums and guitars.
The Thurifer doing us all proud!
THE PIPE ORAN IN THIS CHURCH IS MAGNIFICENT.
High church at its finest. All the smells and bells that go with it too.
One of my favorite hymns growing up. The reverence and sacredness of preparing the alter for worship is so amazing and beautiful to witness 🙏
One of my classmates lost her sister at the age 26 years and ever since I called up a Mortuary to relay to the Family that I'm Praying for them they're non Catholic! Eternal Rest Grant upon Bryanna Marie Kernaghan and May Thy Perpetual Light Shine Upon her!! May She Rest in Peace!!
As a Protestant Christian, may she rest in peace and rise in glory in the sure and certain hope of Christ's Resurrection.
i love this hymn. i remember the descant i learned in college
Wonderful rendition of a glorious hymn! 🙏🙏🙏
Yes we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses
I am Catholic. On Easter we sang Christ the Lord is Risen Today to 2 guitars and a piano. Not the same as an organ.
I am a Protestant and wholly agree with you. Strumming guitarists are an absolute menace. God bless you and yours.
Thank you Jesus Christ Our Savior and Shepherd
Music and liturgy most beautifully rendered - well done!
I AGREE , IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST
Wonderful singing & organ. My favourite hymn.
Such a Spirit filled Church! So looking forward to worshiping there next year on a visit!
Love your thurifer!!!!
yep. he is a professional
Alleluia alleluia alleluia alleluia alleluia
Wonderful...Be Blessed & Well...Pax et Bonum! I belong to St Ann's Episcopal Church in Woodstock IL.
Absolutely brilliant organist !
Wonderful!
My God. That choir and organ finale are heavenly!
It's predominantly the congregation you hear singing, not the choir!
@@SaintMarksChurchPhiladelphiaYou've taught them to sing? What did you do, send them all to a parish church in the UK for a year!? In all seriousness though, this is such a major difference 'across the pond'. At least until recently, students were taught to sing, and usually sing parts, in UK primary schools. Whether 'public' or state. The same is obviously not true in the states.
It does sound like the congregation is singing - so whatever you've done to encourage it, keep going!
IIRC I first heard about this church around 2004 when I met someone at the Wanamaker Organ Day. He might have been the erstwhile organist. In any case he told me of a very high church Episcopalian church in Philly with a large AS pipe organ. Had to be this one ;-). Glad I can finally visit, virtually at least.
Great Hymn! Great organist and well sung by congregation. It is possible to change the video mixer setting so it switches between cameras normally instead of dissolving to black between each camera change. God bless!
The church is virtually empty. Why?
It's not virtually empty. There were about 100 people there. But this is a Wednesday evening service. How many churches do you know that are full on Wednesday evenings? (Or even Sundays, for that matter.)
@@SaintMarksChurchPhiladelphia We do not have services on Wednesday evening, but Sundays are packed, requiring multiple times and venues. In our area the Catholic diocese is reducing the number of parishes from 130 to 35. I am not RC but am saddened by the decline. I love the grand cathedrals but get sad at seeing great churches virtually empty. A few years ago I was in St Stephan’s in Vienna, and only 50 worshippers were there for Sunday mass.
Fantastic, simply fantastic!!
i am Catholic, but i would love to go to that Church once in awhile so i could experience some peace, and not have to barf from the stupid songs we sing at Mass nowadays.
It sounds as though your people on the worship team are also using those “7-11” type of of church music. Mine and my husband and I are members of a Baptist church that are using those redundant “7-11” songs. Thanks to Hillsong Church from Australia! That is supposedly which is same “model” church influencing many churches around the globe by implementing those “7-11” songs in possibly all churches irregardless of denominational preferences.
Too bad it’s Episcopal not Catholic.
@@jonkopf4086 if it was a Catholic Parish, their Bishop would shut it down.
The service was designed for an illiterate population of the middle ages. It was very important that the Gospel was told using all 5 senses like an angelic play. Some Churches have diminished the message by eliminating parts of the delivery. I personally like all the bells and whistles and as an alter boy the sounds of the Eucharist gave me goosebumps.
The Episcopalian can really belt out those hymns. This appears to be a visit by the bishop
Just curious… does OneLicense podcast/streaming package allow individual hymns to be posted to CZcams. Looking for my own church.
As a general rule yes though not all publishers permit. However, this hymn is in the public domain so there are no copyright issues.
Yah you are right because a woman is serving at the alter.
In the Episcopal Church woman are allowed.
Catholic ? Episcopalian ? Anglican ?
St. Mark's is an Episcopal church. It's a "high church" following Anglo-Catholic tradition, which is all of the processions, incense, and sung prayers etc.
@@caseyflorida Thank you and Happy Easter
@@DominicusMagnus You're welcome! Happy Easter!
It appears attendance is way down. Such, it seems, is the direction of the church today.
Wednesday evening. Sundays packed.
