I kinda like the slower drawn-out pace as I really get to hear and soak up John Bernard's (composer of the music for this hymn) superb harmonic intentions making listening to this glorious hymn last longer! I PARTICULARLY LOVED the superbly voiced Trompette en Chamade (albeit I thought that it was a Tuba and a Skinner Tuba at that until I looked at the stoplist) playing the melody, and on the last verse final chord the 32' Opheclide! What a thrilling presentation of this gorgeous hymn! THANKS!!!
If fellowship on earth be so sweet what shall it then be in heaven where there shall be no noise nor silence but one equal music... Lovely choir and organist...
Everything at Saint Clements is Stately, the building, the magnificent high attar and redos, and gilded polychrome and starry pentative above the high Altar, the Austin Organ has richest sounds, it goes through one body to the bones. I hope still this way…..churches now are becoming desperate and going woke as last gasp of…………..
Don Grieve-in an ordinary parish church, more pace would be a help for sure! I serve the feasts at S. Clement's from time to time, though, and the room is cavernous (and live) enough to absolutely SWALLOW the sound.

Fabulous descant!
Definitely more pace needed, but it is a fine tune and understandably one wants to draw it out.

Thanks for uploading. Is that censing I hear at 3:24?
Yes, it is! Some call it "Smokey Clem's" for good reason. 😎😁
Lovely sound but I feel this brilliant hymn and tune needs a little more pace - just a touch ponderous here.

A little slow!
