Was thinking of my beautiful mother today in mass, that passed away 3 years ago. When we sang america the beautiful RIP mama. Love your son Roland 🥲🙏🏻❤️✝️☦️
Beautiful! Just beautiful! Bought tears to my eyes! What an organist!
So beautifully done and sung
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, THANKS FOR POSTING. GOD BLESS !
Yes, it sounded amazing, and I'm using only my iPhone 4S to record! I'm surprised how great it sounds-even from the balcony. I would record from a closer spot, but I don't want to disturb anyone during worship. Thanks for the comment!
Imagine the sound you'd get from a camcorder!
1 O beautiful for spacious skies,
for amber waves of grain;
for purple mountain majesties
above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
and crown thy good with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea!
2 O beautiful for heroes proved
in liberating strife,
who more than self their country loved,
and mercy more than life!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
confirm thy soul in self-control,
thy liberty in law.
3 O beautiful for patriot dream
that sees beyond the years
thine alabaster cities gleam,
undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
and crown thy good with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea!
That sounded wonderful with EVERYONE singing out loud! The congregation sang for the heavens indeed! What are you using to record these videos from St. Bartholomew's?
