The Organist should get a Presidential Medal, the playing is outstanding!!!
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (July 28, Pentecost 10), I played this as the Opening Hymn. It is #853 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.
I love this hymn. When I was organist i would choose this hymn as often as possible. Beautiful music from the organ. The descant is heavenly!!
One of the many great hymns I grew up hearing. I love choirs congregations and organs. The interlude and descant is AWESOME!!!
Awesome and fantastic Organist!
Sing Suns and Stars of space, Sing Ye who see His face/Sing Jesus Christ be praised./God's whole creation oe'r from aye and evermore, Shall Jesus Christ be praised.
“The moment you wake up each morning, all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists in shoving it all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other, larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in.” - C.S. Lewis
When morning gilds the skies
my heart awaking cries:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
When evening shadows fall,
this rings my curfew call,
may Jesus Christ be praised!
When mirth for music longs,
this is my song of songs:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
God's holy house of prayer
hath none than can compare
with: Jesus Christ be praised!
No lovelier antiphon
in all high heaven is known
than, Jesus Christ be praised!
There to the-ternal Word
the-ternal psalm is heard:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
Ye nations of mankind,
in this your concord find:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
Let all the earth around
ring joyous with the sound:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
Sing, suns and stars of space,
sing, ye that see his face,
sing, Jesus Christ be praised!
God's whole creation o'er,
both now and evermore
shall Jesus Christ be praised!
That interlude gives me goosebumps!
Easter morning gilds skies throughout the year.
Listen to that powerful ORGAN, who is the ORGANIST playing so wonderful!!! Excellent!
I totally agree!!
Listen to that organ!!!
Yeah, all 225 ranks of it!
Nice intetlude and descant.
The German lyrics are anonymous, arising from folk tradition. Their first appearance was in Pörtner’s KATHOLISCHES GESANGBUCH (Würzburg, 1828) as “Beim frühen Morgenlicht” (in early morning light). The English translation was by Edward Caswall in Formby’s CATHOLIC HYMNS (London, 1854). Joseph Barnby’s optimistic tune LAUDES DOMINI (Latin for “praise the Lord”) first appeared in HYMNS ANCIENT AND MODERN (London, 1868) as Item 314. Also known as “May Jesus Christ Be Praised!” this graceful hymn has persisted over time and cultural boundaries.
There is nothing like a PIPE ORGAN opening the worship service with congregational singing Pastors take note
1 When morning gilds the sky,
our hearts awaking cry:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
in all our work and prayer
we ask his loving care:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
2 To God, the Word on high,
the hosts of angels cry:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let mortals too upraise
their voices in hymns of praise:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
3 Let earth's wide circle round
in joyful notes resound:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let air and sea and sky
from depth to height reply:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
4 Be this, when day is past,
of all our thoughts the last:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The night becomes as day
when from the heart we say:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
5 Then let us join to sing
to Christ, our loving King:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this the eternal song
through all the ages long:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Joseph, are you a member of this church or perhaps the organist or a choir member?
Nice interlude between the 3rd and 4th stanza and build to the final stanza. Do you know if that was an improvisation or already arranged?
ech4949 It's improvised. The organist has to check on the progress of the procession and if he (or she) doesn't think they'll get to the altar by the end of the hymn they have to stretch things a bit.
Interude was great. Someone needs to work on getting the procession together.. spacing from maybe 18" to 2-3' apart!! Get with it folks!!
Lol, you're right, they are all over the place. It drives my a little crazy to see that, but in perspective, we have much bigger fish to fry in the world.
