The words of this song penetrating and true, detailing the love above all loves the believer finds in the Jesus of the bible, the risen Lord. Hallelujah
What a beautiful rendition of this hymn..... Thank you....! SOLI DEO GLORIA...! Blessings from South Africa...!
Beautiful hymn. We must never give up in the 'oldies', some of them as the best. This one takes me into the heavenliest.
Angelic voices. This song calms our heart and mind. Thank you indeed
You're welcome. 👍
This is such a beautiful hymn. No other tune could accompany this text, and no other text could be sung to this tune. The two are a marriage.Thank you for making this recording available.
You are most welcome, James. 😊
I have heard another hymn to this tune, but still always think of this hymn. Likewise there is a newish All Saints hymn which goes to the tune of All Glory laud and Honour, another case where I consider the tune belongs to the original hymn. However I have no problem with Father Hear the Prayer We Offer, and Come Thou Long Expected Jesus being to the same tune as each other; nor Lord of All Hopefulness and Be Thou My Vision.
Beautiful hymn which always touches my soul
But the marriage took several centuries to achieve ... 1664 to 1925!!! Both times in my country - Britain - a place not spurned by the Holy Spirit, despite all superficial appearances to the contrary!
When it was achieved it was done in less than 15 minutes, when John Ireland (a troubled figure to say the least) jotted the tune down on the back of a restaurant menu!
God is working His purpose out ... as century succeeds to century!
He is patient - thankfully. But in the 2020s it is probable that we can no longer say that
- so be ready, my friend!!!
Best to you on Good Friday.
I agree, this is the only proper music for this hymn IMO.
How lovely to hear the entire hymn. Thank you
You're most welcome. 😊
Yes I enjoyed it thoroughly.
I can't stop listening to it!
The 3rd stanza from "Then Crucify" was so powerful and perfectly personified!
Yes, indeed, Malcolm. 🙏
I loved that part also
One of my fav hymns and my dad’s. I thought about it today and found it, thanks for posting it

A lovely Hymn. The choir sung it today at church as congregation still not aloud to sing. We are glad that our church remained open for worship during this 3rd Lockdown while so many chose to remain closed.
We can now sing outside; perhaps it won't be long before the restrictions are lifted?
What a farce the lock down proved to be.
Very sinister. Stopping the worship of God and the gathering of the royal priesthood.
Yet God used it to test, to judge, to purge and prepare the church for networking if the church has to go underground in the coming days
One of my favourites; we sang this in church yesterday morning. It was such a joy to sing WITOUT A FACE MASK!!!! :O)
My favourite hymn before I go to sleep at night
We hope you have sweet dreams. 😊
Great church song! Alleluia! ⛪
One of Top Ten Greatest Hymns.
Thank you, John. 😊
Lovely song forever
Amen, Jeanne. 🙏
Wishing you all Peace and happiness during Holy Week! God bless.
You too!

The alternate harmonization on the final verse adds no beauty to what is already perfection itself.
The welsh hymn writer penned lines which pierces our hearts and minds

@@philipkohtongngee1741 The author of this hymn, Samuel Crossman, was actually English and was exiled from the Church of England for his Separatist beliefs.
Amen
Thank you
You're welcome. 😃
Just to be clear, it wasn't the whole Jewish nation that wanted Jesus out of the way, but more those who wanted to protect 'the status quo.' There were many who accepted Him as the promised Messiah. But He knew He had to die as per Isaiah 53.
You are absolutely right. For a start some writers, such as John, appear to use the term, "The Jews" to refer to the scribes and saduccees, rather than 'The Jewish people'.
Secondly, it has been estimated that there was no room in front of the prefect's headquarters for more than about eighty people, most of whom had probably been handpicked by the priests. So, hardly the whole nation.
@@ChetValleyChurches I have often thought of the crowds in the city that day, when He was on the way to the Cross. Some were sympathetic such as the Blessed Mother and St John, St Veronica Simon of Cyrene and the unnamed women. Some such as the Sadducees and the Roman Army were hostile, but the vast majority were indifferent, just trying to go about their daily lives, in spite of unusual occurrences [darkness at midday ,earthquakes etc].
@@ChetValleyChurches Indeed, which is actually why I have a problem with the third verse, despite absolutely loving this hymn overall. The crowd that demanded His crucifixion when He appeared before Pilate was probably not the same one that greeted him in Jerusalem, but one that was planted there by the Jewish leaders from their synagogues because they knew they were easy to control. Matthew and Mark's gospels even say that they were stirring up the crowd to ask for His execution and the release of Barabbas.
I also object to the "mine the tomb wherein he lay" line in the second-to-last verse, since I reject penal substitution in favor of governmental atonement. But those things aside, this is easily my favorite Passion hymn and I listen to it every year on Good Friday (like today as I write this comment).
This is one of my favorite Good Friday Hymns, verse 1
Speaks completely over my life. Jesus, knowing me personally and still loves me.
Can't wait to see him
He has Risen❤ He has Risen Indeed. Love my Church❤
