This is one of those moments when you thank God and RUclips algorithm for finding something worthy and beautiful to watch to. I just want to give a big THANK YOU for this arrangement!
What a beautiful rendition of one of my most favorite songs and arrangements! I could feel the joy in God's creation and His glory abounding. It is food for my soul this morning.
My fav song.. I remember first heard it on my sister's choir competition in elementary school.. Now i'm at the end of my college semester working on my thesis.. This music helps me to calm down and remind me of God's blessing through out my life
@@brianpappal sorry, my comment looks a bit rude now that I look back on it. I didn’t intend any offence. I have the same issue when I sing: I’m focusing hard on getting it right and forget to do the smiley thing.
@@nickbaxter8797 thanks for that, but I wasn’t offended at all. I have the same thought every time I watch it, but it is as it lives now 😀. Next time I’ll try to look less grumpy. Thanks for watching!
Hi there, does anyone have the score for this as have been asked to do it for an old friends wedding, but can't seem to get it anywhere. Does anyone have a link or can send over a copy of the music. Happy to pay for it but just can't seem to source it easily and quickly! Thanks! :)
This is a beautiful arrangement -= thank you. I wonder if you might give me permission to use it in our Sunday on-line worship one week? Paul (St Matthias in Torquay)
Hi Jan. Thanks for watching and commenting. You've piqued my curiosity. We recorded the text as the composer John Rutter set it. Your comment made me think that maybe Rutter altered the hymn text to allow for a more universal meaning. After perusing about 20 different hymnal settings published over the last 100 years, I can't find a single one that lists the text as you describe it, nor can I find anything online. Can you share your source for the original text as published by Pierpoint? I'd be curious to know what other revisions, if any, have happened to the text over the years. Thanks in advance!
@@brianpappal i mean no disrespect in my comment. Pierpoint's "Friend above" version pertains about Jesus. While Rutter's "friends above" version pertains about dead friends which believed mostly by Roman Catholics. That when a person dies, his soul goes to hell, purgatory, or heaven.
Out of curiosity, what is the belief, what faith do you all hold? I ask this, because the bible does not say anywhere that women use lipstick, etc ... On the contrary, her head should be covered when she does a job, especially since her hair is cut and dyed. 1 Corinthians 11: 5, 6, 13, 15

This was one of my favorite songs we did in high school choir and it still almost moves me to tears. Music is so powerful I can’t even explain it.

Outstanding quality
Love Rutter’s version of this hymn and these four singers (and pianist) do it beautifully. The bearded guy doesn’t look too happy though.
I kinda look like I’ve been kidnapped, I think 😀. But I liked the audio take so I kept it. 🤷🏼♂️

The original song says "Friends on earth, and Friend above."
Not "friends on earth and friends above."

Dreadful with all that vibrato and sung like on a funeral..
