Come let us sing the matchless worth (tune: Pembroke) - arr. for piano by Peter Duckworth
We used to sing this one, unaccompanied, in the Gospel Hall at Burnham Market. As a Welsh tune, with fine passing harmonies, it was eminently suited for this. Although I had my issues with the Brethren, I do believe that on some of these occasions the risen Jesus walked among us and we felt the touch of his presence.
The song itself is older, based on a hymn by Samuel Medley (1738-99), who was converted under the ministry of Isaac Watts and ended up as a Baptist pastor with a large congregation in Liverpool. The original is even more ecstatic and personal, beginning with the line "O could I speak the matchless worth ... I'd soar and touch the heavenly strings, and vie with Gabriel while h...

Jesus comes - the heavens adoring (Advent hymn) - arr. for piano by Peter Duckworth
Просмотров 8589 месяцев назад
I like this hymn by Godfrey Thring (1823-1903), an Anglican clergyman, for the way it combines the coming of Christ in the Incarnation, his coming to us in resurrection life, and his final Second Coming, with befitting humility and adoration. Thring, from Somerset, came from a distinguished family of Parliamentarians and educators. After attending Shrewsbury School and Balliol College, Oxford, ...

This fine Advent hymn by John Milton, England's greatest literary genius after Shakespeare, paraphrases some of the psalms of Asaph and the sons of Korah: in particular, Psalm 82 ('Arise, O God, judge the earth, for thou shalt inherit all nations'), Psalm 85 ('Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven'), and Psalm 86 ('All nations whom thou hast made sha...

Despite his lofty titles, Gatty loved to compose popular music, especially songs for childre...

This fine hymn by James Drummond Burns of Edinburgh (1823-64) captures the feeling of that dramatic occasion in 1 Samuel 3 when the word of the Lord first comes, by night, to the young prophet. It is marvellously set to music by Sir Arthur Sullivan (1840-1901)

This is the well-known 16th century setting of Psalm 100 by William Kethe, who fled to Protestant Europe during the reign of Bloody Queen Mary in the 1550a. He later (apparently) became Rector of Childe Okeford in Dorset. This hymn was sung at the late Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee service in Westminster Abbey.

Beautiful. Where can I get sheet music for exactly this?
❤
Excellent
I enjoy and learn still from your fine touch
Wonderfully played
Hi Peter, such wonderful playing, thank you! Would it be alright for my church to use this for our service a week Sunday? We would give you full attribution. Thank you. (We are Central Baptist Church, Walthamstow)
Yes of course, that's fine. Only thing is, I don't have a lead-in line, but if you can manage, you're welcome.
I do believe that on some of these occasions the risen Jesus walked among us and we felt the touch of his presence.... YES
👏👏👏👏 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 God bless you brother in Christ.
Your remark about the Brethren tells me we have very similar backgrounds (and probably similar issues). Delightful to recall this hymn. I still have my copy of 'The Believer's Hymnbook' in my desk.
Beautiful. Thank you
Ahhhhh Peter ❤beautiful
Missed your videos! Lovely hymn. It's new to me, but I'm a fan.
So beautiful
To my surprise I had not come across that hymn until now but I am glad to have done so. Many thanks.
Greetings from Brazil!
That piano sounds lush.
Wonderful rendition
Thanks so much for your reply. Our pastor Rev Jonatas Bragatto would love to meet you. I'm not sure how to get in touch as I wasn't able to use Linkedin. Our chapel is on the google map, but if I give any more contact details, then RUclips doesn't accept it. Our pastor has many videos ln RUclips; one is especially about the decline of Christianity in England, and another featuring this chapel, founded in 1835. The preaching of John Cennick in 1735 resulted in the formation of many preaching house, before our chapel was built in 1835. So our invitation is genuine. My husband and I have currently got covid at present, but should be free in a few days. If you incur hotel or travel expenses, we will gladly reimburse you. Many thanks, SYLVIA CHUMBLEY
One of the best of the old hymns. And beautifully played. Oh give me Samuel's mind...
Pleasant and perfect
2024✋ Super flexible 🎹💝
This is a splendid hymn by the prolific writer Edward Denny. For a collection of moving acapella singing of some of his hymns visit RUclips ruclips.net/video/jdXOUx19CMM/видео.html . "To Calvary Lord" is the first and " O Wondrous Hour" is at 14.18.
I know this hymn is not Scripture, but it comes as close as anything I have encountered to being Scripture because it is rooted so firmly in it. It has been part of my life from childhood. I still have my 'Believer's Hymnbook' with this hymn in it, and I play it regularly (but not as well as you).
Bless you brother. This was one of the very finest hymns to come out of the Brethren, in my view, and I'm glad you're keeping it alive in memory. It may not be direct quotes from Scripture, but it's replete with truths found in Hebrews, Colossians and elsewhere. It is also excellent poetry in its own right.
Beautiful
❤❤❤
Heartfelt rendition. Come and play for village, Union Chapel Kington Langley Wilts on Sun. 15 Sept please!
Thanks for the review. Kington Langley looks a great village. Is that a serious invitation for 15 Sept? Message me on www.linkedin.com/in/peter-duckworth-a6125625?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3BPGz1XEXqTLCSEkGjljybSg%3D%3D
The invitation to come on 15th Sept is still there, and the Pastor Rev Jonatas Bragatto and the Elder Tony Shepherd are looking forward to meeting you. But I don't know how to make contact. Any suggestions? SYLVIA CHUMBLEY of Kington Langley. Did you find us on Google Maps?
Fascinating exposition of the old chorus - took me back to my Sunday School days 65 years ago and more.
Hi! Andrew Loose here, researching how people play the tune RIMINGTON - as written or as I know it sung. The point of interest is at the end of line 1: is the note (an F) 2 or 4 beats? It is written in my book as 2 but is usually sung with 4 beats I think. You play the notes with 4……It just occurs to me that the the tune was composed by one F Duckworth. Any relation from the past? I am doing something about Isaac Watts (born 350 years ago in July 17th 1774 in a service I am conducting this Sunday morning. I am pleased you have that great verse about more blessings than their father lost! Tremendous to think on that.
Hello Andrew, I meant to reply to this but not sure I did. Francis Duckworth is, I believe, a distant relative. He lived in Rimington, near Clitheroe, Lancs, a part of the world my father was keen on exploring in walks. Perhaps he felt a kindred spirit?
Hello sir, please what’s the name of this tune
here in Hungary we often sing it, at a faster tempo... very beautiful....
Awesome 👌 👏
Played this for my 90th mother - she enjoyed very much
It's a beautiful hymn, and fine tune that fits the words. Glad your mother enjoyed it, and happy birthday to her!
Thank you Peter, your version is my favorite of all time. Will you publish an CD record in the future? I will definitely buy it.
1:57 how did you arrange that baseline? I'm learning piano on my own and I would love to know 🙂
I love that you are enjoying the presence of God while playing this song
You're right! I find that music brings me right into the presence of God. He is so goo
good
Christ is everything and He will truly give us His promised endless life and joy, soon.
Beautiful, thank you.

God's own language - music 😌
Delightful, thank you.
One assumes you used the "Hymns of Eternal Truth" score for that one.
I didn't know there was a score for HET! No, I just played it by ear. Am I doing it right?
@@peterduckworth4901 Yes, indeed there is. It is an "Alternative Tune" in HET Music Edition, called "Jabbok and the Dawning" (George Santer). Is there a way I can send you the score?
@@christianfellowship This is in fact the tune I posted on this channel 3 years ago! See ruclips.net/video/Bc6BGD1P_18/видео.html, and tell me if I've got it right!
Could you possibly record some of John Newton’s hymns?
Dear brother/sister, thank you for your suggestion, but I think "Join all the glorious names" is Watts? See ruclips.net/video/6638UJnYanw/видео.html
One of my favourite hymns from the compilation of 120 Wesley Hymns by G.W. North. “Hymns of Eternal Truth”.
Thank you, so enjoyed this.
Peter, as well as being a Christian believer and barrister, I am also a piano enthusiast so I'd love to know more about your grand, which even over the internet has the sound of a good one.
Dear P1959H, could you share your name? It's good to know we are bearing witness to the legal profession. My piano is a Schimmel 6'10", made (I assume) in Braunschweig, Germany and purchased ex display from Harrods 35 years ago for £10k. It's been my pride and joy ever since. I think they are underrated as a make, and for my money, it was a better instrument than a Bechstein that was also on sale in the same showroom for £24k.
@@peterduckworth4901 I'm Paul Hart - in chambers in Preston doing public law children work. That's a fine piano you have. I have found that some of the names just outside the big few are at least as good and can be better. I've had a Steinway upright and a Bluthner small grand, but for the last 10 years have enjoyed a Sauter Masterclass M130 that is wonderful and as our youngest has stuck his name on it will remain in my study for some time to come! Would be great to keep in touch.
Delightful
St. Peter?
My Dad wants this played at his funeral, i found your video , a version of this song played on the piano. Thank you so much, my Dad is happy in heaven and happier we can sing this song at his celebration of life service.
Amen! It's my mother-in-law's choice also for when she dies (she is in her 90s but strong in faith)
