Beautiful St Bartholomew!
On screen lyrics Blesses God people as they participate.
To God Be The Glory.

Neander to my recollection as a long time music devotee fits "Praise to the Lord the Almighty" but this hymn sung by St. Bartholomew's Choir is richly redemptive.

I love this tune. In our hymnal it's #108. Open Now The Doors To Beauty

This hymn tune is actually cited as "Unser Herrscher" in my copies of the following hymnals:
-The Hymnal 1982 of the Episcopal Church (1985)
-The United Methodist Hymnal (1989)
-The Presbyterian Hymnal (1990)
-The New Century Hymnal of the UCC (1995)
-Evangelical Lutheran Worship of the ELCA (2006).
I've seen it cited as "Neander" only on the online Hi-Fi Hymn Book and the 1940 Hymnal of the "Protestant" Episcopal Church.
The Lutheran Service Hymnal of the LCMS (2006) cites it as both.

Wonderful!

[@faolrua]

The name of the tune is actually "Neander." It's used for both "He is Risen" and "Open Though Thy Gates of Beauty."

Neander, Joachim, was born at Bremen, in 1650, as the eldest child of the marriage of Johann Joachim Neander and Catharina Knipping, which took place on Sept. 18, 1649, the father being then master of the Third Form in the Paedagogium at Bremen. The family name was originally Neumann (Newman) or Niemann, but the grandfather of the poet had assumed the Greek form of the name, i.e. Neander. After passing through the Paedagogium he entered himself as a student at the Gymnasium illustre (Academic Gymnasium) of Bremen in Oct. 1666. German student life in the 17th century was anything but refined, and Neander seems to have been as riotous and as fond of questionable pleasures as most of his fellows.

Haha, well there are some Anglo-Catholic parishes whose services are actually more traditional than the modern Catholic Mass, but will still also incorporate "Protestant" hymns into their services.

Joseph Soltero heck, most Lutheran services are more traditional than modern catholic ones
