Pastor Luke, I am completely and totally Blessed beyond words with your presentation of this Hymn. Although I've been singing this hymn in Church for 50 years, and very often and sincerely during my quiet time (actually not always so quiet); I never knew the Amazing and most inspiring life story of the Author. My heart was touched and revived by your Holy Spirit inspired comments, surely all Praise, Honour and Glory belong to our Majestic Holy Heavenly Father. And sincere thanks to you for a wonderfully inspiring Blessing.
Beautiful, Luke. I will sing this daily, to drive the demons from my body and soul, and because I love Jesus sooo much and want to be perfected in Him. These newly manifested demons want me to renounce and curse God, because of their torment, but the more they try to defile my body, the more I love God.
I lived in New Zealand for many years and loved, it when the Māoris would sing it and we Would sing it in church…the presence of God so rich such a beautiful song
Absolutely beautiful. First time of hearing the other verses. You capture the mood of the song as you play. Thanks for sharing and using your gift to worship the Lord.
Thank you, Luke, for presenting this hymn & who wrote it. I have not heard it for decades when we sang it from the hymnals. This is a perfect prayer which I now, gladly, will sing each day; I remember better in music/singing.🎶 I enjoy learning so much from you & singing along with you as well.😊✝️
This is I think a treasure of OLD hymns that are so wonderful. I got it on Amazon- Hymns of Ter Steegen and Others, it should not be lost. Very old and deep. Mostly translated from German going back to the 1200's.
All of it......but especially the last verse......He.....has to do it in me everyday...oh Lord, please..... otherwise how can I be who You, Lord Jesus want me to be....in my home first and as I go out the door...may I not dishonor Your Name. In Jesus, Amen
It is a beautiful song, & the first verse is sung as a chorus mainly, though I have sung the whole song many times over the years but with some of the words being modernized so it was interesting to hear the original. I knew that the tune came from Now is the hour, so it was interesting to find out that the Maori's took the tune from the old Swiss cradle song which when I looked it up is actually a Swedish song sung to their babies. Interesting side note, the Swedes put their babies wrapped warmly in their pram outside in the sunlight during the day to sleep, so they undoubtedly pushed baby to sleep singing this simple lullaby. When I looked up the words in the hymnal, sadly they did not include the last verse which I think is essential to finishing the prayer which is what the song is. I also didn't realise that the song is only about 10 years older than me!! 🥰
Psalm 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. Isa 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
A wonderful song mostly sung after preaching when the Holy Spirit moves on the congregation. Brings people to the knees. Therefore it should be played slower and more tender. No need to rush.
Hi Luke! My wife and I have been watching your hymns for over a year and love them. Your research and performances are just wonderful! But … I was wondering whether you could do a very similar hymn “Search me O God, my actions try” by Francis Bottome to the tune Hull (by Asa Hull). It is a beautiful hymn with a lovely tune! Thanks for all your hard work. God bless!
Luke, remember when you did one of the new songs of CityAlight the other week; just after listening to this song I noticed this video uploaded from the gospel coalition called How an Australian Church is changing Christian songwriting. It is an excellent video to listen to about the journey of St Pauls in Castle Hill, Sydney which is the venue of CityAlight. I think that you will really enjoy it. ruclips.net/video/RE3wenSMGL0/видео.html

Beautiful old hymn with true meaning.Remember it being sung many many years ago.

What a powerful song of surrender and consecration to our amazing, merciful Jesus. May it be our heart's song every day. Thank you.
Thanks!

A great hymn. Didn’t know the story behind it.

I used to look at the top of the hymn book page that said : Traditional Maori melody...and wonder how that came about. Now I know. Thank you
