My favorite verse is,"This is the Day the Lord Hath Made; let us rejoice and be glad in it". This is now my favorite song. It is so beautiful and I love it. I love this choir singing it.
I was astonished when I heard this song yesterday. It will become a classic, not only for having been part of the Royal Wedding, but because of its melody, harmony, and especially for his letter. May God bless the new couple.
I wouldn't say I'm an atheist I definitely believe in God but I generally avoid organized religion and even I find this moving and just bursting with positive happiness. I view cathedrals as a glass maker and sometimes stone block dresser. For me it's the history and archaeology of the building. In this case one purpose built for just these sorts of Royal affairs, although the buildings residents were Catholic at the time lol. I never thought to stop and watch a modern one but this popped up and I'm really glad I did
Wow, I fell in love with the hymn since I saw the wedding but didn't know the name; I only remembered the verse "this is the day " unbeknownst to me that is the name of the tune; eureka !!
Grace we are talking about a great institution which as far as services and procedures of services and choral music is concerned it leaves your mob high and dry. May the Anglicans go on for many,many centuries to come...Any Anglican knows how great they are..rest in piece Grace. I will continue to partake in our great music.
William's feelings were all in this song. You could just feel is heart pouring out. Diana, in your short lives together you raised a wonderful, caring and very humble son. Diana you held back your tears as the skies were clear. What a proud mother you should be.
As soon as church congregations are allowed to gather in church again, after COVID19 is over, this would be a great hymn for churches around the Country to sing!
I am just now learning that John Rutter was commissioned to write this for this wedding! I hope that he will be recognized for his contributions in his lifetime by the English throne. Sir John Rutter!
I really love this, i never usually like choir music - however i remember this standing out to me when i watched the wedding. Truly beautiful - amazing voices.
i wanna cry everytime i hear this. such a beautiful song. congratulations will and kate. may you have a beautiful life. your mother would have been so proud of you.
This is the day, this is the day. That the Lord has made, that the Lord has made. We will rejoice, we will rejoice, And be glad in it, and be glad in it. This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. This is the day, this is the day That the Lord has made. 2 We are the sons, we are the sons, Of the living God, of the living God. We will rejoice, we will rejoice, And be glad in Him, and be glad in Him. We are the sons of the living God. We will rejoice and be glad in Him. We are the sons, we are the sons Of the living God.
The way it was performed in the video is not the way I've heard it sung in a Southern Baptist Church before! The way you wrote out the lyrics is probably the more upbeat version I heard in the deep south! Both ways are nice!
I enjoyed this video which is so divine..my mind saols back to the happy days of my mom and my two sisters ..The tragedy is i lost all of them when i was just12 years...This song gives me peace and devotion to God
There's something about this song that inspires me. And the song suits the occasion! This is so far the best part of the wedding mass of the Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge!!! LOVE IT!!!
Wahrhaft eine wunderbare Komposition von John Rutter - herzlichen Glückwunsch - und eine herrliche Interpretation durch diesen Chor - vielen herzlichen Dank !
These are the STRONG and mostly touching words that makes me unable to continue the singing of this beautiful song...: "The Lord Himself is thy keeper...The Lord is my defense upon my right hand, so that the sun shall not hurt thee by day; neither the moon by night...The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil..Yea it is even Him that shall keep thy soul..." BLESSED BE HIS NAME AND SIR JOHN RUTTER WHO PASSED ON THE STRONG MESSAGE VIA HIS MORE THAN MAGNIFICENT ARRANGEMENT OF THIS SONG!! (;
This song is amazing since the first two verses It touched deeply into my heart that part from 3:11 to 3:54, which says: "He shall defend thee He shall defend thee He shall defend thee under his wings".
I am a Catholic and I must agree. I love how Anglican choirs sing. Despite that we must agree that Gregorian Chant is best sung where it originated, the Catholic Church.
Diana would of happy with this beautiful song sung for her son and daughter in law, rest in peace Diana , the world is sorrowful for your passing. William and Kate will try to fill the void you left us with ,God Bless .
@maestrogordon It is indeed a "service", in this case in accordance with the rite of marriage from the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England. "Since William and Kate are both baptised, their exchange of vows constituted an indissoluble sacrament, whereby their souls are united and marked for one another".
Grace Toast,Have you woken up to yourself yet and appreciated what great Anglican church music is about instead of calling it a Liturgy. How great thou art, thats what our music is about. I bet the Mick`s would like to be part of these great part`s of our great services.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful moment and this beautiful celebration chant! The boys are so lovely, maybe more lovely than the newly-wed couple in my eyes. ^^*
LYRICS PART 2 of 3: Let them praise the name of the Lord For he shall give his angels charge over thee To keep thee in all thy ways To keep thee in all thy ways To keep thee in all thy ways The Lord himself is my keeper The Lord is my defense upon my right hand So that the sun shall not hurt thee by day Neither the moon by night The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil Yeah, it is even he that shall keep thy soul The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in
John Rutter is a rockstar.
And heaven came down...😇
My favorite verse is,"This is the Day the Lord Hath Made; let us rejoice and be glad in it". This is now my favorite song. It is so beautiful and I love it. I love this choir singing it.
Prior to the Wedding I pondered on what the Anthen would be then I heard this.John Rutter did not dissapoint and beatifully sang.
Gives me goosebumps. Can't help but tear up. A new classic. What an honor to the couple to have had this written especially for them.
I was astonished when I heard this song yesterday. It will become a classic, not only for having been part of the Royal Wedding, but because of its melody, harmony, and especially for his letter. May God bless the new couple.
Sounds like Angels✨✨✨
How can anyone dislike.this? One of the most beautifully sung psalms. Still sends shivers down my spine.
And a collection of my favourite verses.

Beautiful! I expect choirs all over the world will be wanting to sing this anthem.
ANOTHER GREAT PERFORMANCE BY THE CHOIR OF WESTMINSTER ABBEY.
William's feelings were all in this song. You could just feel is heart pouring out. Diana, in your short lives together you raised a wonderful, caring and very humble son. Diana you held back your tears as the skies were clear. What a proud mother you should be.
I used to sing this music in the choir of my school and I have so many good memories of it... miss those days
As soon as church congregations are allowed to gather in church again, after COVID19 is over, this would be a great hymn for churches around the Country to sing!
An excellent suggestion!
it's not a performance, it is LITURGY!
Wow
john cardiff British music at its best ,
What more would we all expect from this great choir and accompliment. Great choir work.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. - Matthew 6:34

Love the song!! Well done mr. Rutter! And the choir is really in great shape!! :D Thanks for posting
I know all of these hymns by heart, with the exception of Ps. 148. Have been saying them with my mom since childhood.
Beautiful.
The Lord loved the Psalmist David, for he took captive the Heart of God, and set His Heart to flight in the Holy Spirit
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! - Philippians 4:4
Quelle puissance et grâce pour des petits garçons !!!

Wow!!! Anglicans are the best when it come to singing of chants and hymns around the world. The voice and composition - simply Amazing.
boy isn't that the truth.
Oh yes Anglican Cathedrals are Amazing
looks like we have a salty Catholic
I am a Catholic and I must agree. I love how Anglican choirs sing. Despite that we must agree that Gregorian Chant is best sung where it originated, the Catholic Church.
about 1100 years of practice
Rejoice together, all hearts!
Be gone, all pain and sorrow!

Thank you. I wish you a long and happy marriage yourself.
