@@ebriggs3498 - she devoted her whole life to the service to our country just like those in the military have done & still do. The hymn is very appropriate in the circumstances....
To Eileen. As a young girl I served in the Royal Airforce and eventually became a military wife. Many years later I visited one of my daughters in Chicago where we went to see an ice hockey match. Beginning of course with the American anthem. I saw the pride in America in those around me and their love of their country. For me those two hymns say it all.
I didn't think I knew Jerusalem, but when I saw your post, I decided to find and listen to it. And, to my amazement, I realized it is a piece that is sung in that wonderful movie, Chariots of Fire. I had always wondered what that song was, as I thoroughly enjoyed it. And so, thank you for enlightening me!
The tune of this song is gorgeous. Jerusalem is a beautiful poem, too-- which has been profaned by the government's use. William Blake was avowedly anti-military, was charged with sedition at one point in his life, and wrote Jerusalem, among other poems, to call out the injustices committed against the poor in the "Dark, Satanic mills" of the early 1800s. The music is beautiful; it curdles the blood to hear those meaning-laden words sung by those upholding militarism and wealth.
I believe this is the most beautiful of British patriotic hymns and much the way "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" touches a responsive chord in Americans "I Vow to Thee My Country" stirs pride and gratefulness in the hearts of our British friends with whom we share the love of freedom and democracy, having stood together even as many among us made "the final sacrifice". As an American with family roots in England I love the United Kingdom and pray we all remain vigilant in defense of liberty. 🇬🇧🇺🇲
When I look at U.S and the U.K - There history and Identity I see a Mother and Child, a broken relationship that with time was restored. That bond will never be severed. Many of us in the UK feel closer to the U.S to commonwealth nations like Canada as Canada was a nation formed by the French where many speak French which later the British took. The U.S was English to the core and later British and then American, clearly.
The Royal Air Force was there for me in My Time of Need, when I Needed a Family and had none, They showed me their Warmth and wrapped their arms around me. I have nothing but Loyalty, First to My Unit, The RAF; Most Importantly To God, Queen & Country! 👑❤️🇬🇧 God Bless The RAF & #GodSaveTheQueen
Beautiful. My love from the United States to the Her Majesty the Queen, as well as to the entire United Kingdom. I was lucky enough to grow up in the UK, and my grandfather fought alongside you as an American GI during World War II. God bless you all and may he bless the unbreakable bond shared between our two great nations! Allies and brothers/sisters forever.
My grandfather, Elias Pollock, fought in World War I as an American GI. Ditto David's remarks about the "unbreakable bond shared between our two great nations!"
It was Anzac Day in Australia yesterday and I attended a traditional Catholic High Mass. This was the hymn sung at the end of Mass during the procession from the altar. There were three verses sung, the first and third as in this video. There second verse sung however, (which commences: I heard my country calling, away across the sea,) was sung by the men voices only. As an Anzac Day tribute, it was very impressive. As an old bloke with some association with those who have served, I was not ashamed of the tear in my eye. It wonderful to be a part of this British heritage.
I've never heard that extra verse. Was it written specifically for the Anzac context? From the line you shared, the lyrics sound especially apt for Anzac servicemen and women. It does sound very moving.
@@R_Jackson It was written after the first world war and it was the original first verse but was dropped because of its violent imagery. Because of the enormous sacrifice of the men of the British Dominions, particularly Australia, New Zealand and Canada, it is particular apt that it be included in an Anzac Day service. Following the Mass, the organ played the first and third verses. It stopped for the second and the verse was sung only by the men in the congregation. I heard my country calling, away across the sea, Across the wastes of waters, she calls and calls to me. Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head, And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead; I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns; I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.
@@munmorahmud My goodness. Thank you for explaining that. I've only ever heard the other two verses. I can only imagine how affecting it was to hear those lines sung by the men alone.
Im a British Pakistani born and brought up in the UK and I would sacrafice my life for the UK! I love my home country and am definetly going to join the Royal Air Force! LONG LIVE BRITANNIA AND PERISH BE HER ENEMIES (though i do prefer peace with everyone) !!!❤🇬🇧❤
Your words are apt. Despite all the criticism against the British rule of the Indian subcontinent, they shaped a country and gave us a modern welfare government. Their legacy cannot be wiped out.
Truly, one can't deny the fact that the British Raj carved out Modern day India and Pakistan, even though the partition was difficult for the people...but if the British never came to the subcontinent, we would have been nothing but a group of Princely states fighting against eachother...there would have been no India or Pakistan
From one of the many Americans who loves your country and loves this hymn it’s very moving I am not up on the latest controversies but looking at William and Harry I see two great young men with beautiful wives I think we all get caught up in the news of the day but in the end what matters is the great friendship between our two countries and our freedom that we would go to war today to defend There will always be an England
I used to play in boarding school chapel nearly 50 years back. The first time I played this, I was so choked up that could barely see the notes. I had to learn it by rote, as I was well past 40 before I could play it without tearing.

They are a family, young and old , accomplished ,acknowledged, and those starting off in life. In this context the robe of rich blessing rests on this people , in faith, through God Almighty, and his earthly personage, the Lord Jesus Christ.
As a Canadian soldier, agnostic-maybe?, and one who holds only the most ancillary and begrudging place in my heart for anything even remotely religious, I'd say the same about: "the Battle hymn of the Republic" and many more American war Hymns.
Such a beautiful and ancient shred from our most distant past. As Her Majesty's mortal remains were lowered into the dark the piper called her soul to the light of day and freedom. No way not cry at the sheer majesty of it.
O God Beyond All Praising is sung to the same tune. We sing it at Mass for special occasions and I love it so much. Goosebumps, no matter what lyrics 😍
So majestic! As a people of the Lord we should serve our earthly kingdom as part of cultural mandate in the Bible, but dont forget there is also an eternal kingdom so we should always to pleasing God
Iff i remember well that hymn was played at Princess Diana's funeral i was 4 year old when she died beutifull hymn for beutifull princess. Im not British but i like wery much the music which choir of Westminster Abbey singing. May God bless and protect us in that dark times. Greetings from Croatian royal fan🇭🇷♥️🇬🇧
I was raised loving some of Charles Wesley's Hymns Composition 🥰❤️🙏 Dad was raised straight after birth by his Uncle, his mother's brother who was a METHODIST Catechist far from his island from 1934-1952, used to remind me, it is in the Inspired Classical Hymns, The Holy Spirit inspired Holy Sanctified Men & Women to write & compose these Divine Inspired Classical Hymns, and in Singing or listening to them, You meet God while singing it inductively & meditatingly🙏. While Growing up as a tiny toddler, my Dad played only The Westminster Abbey Choir from England & King's College Choir till at 10 years old than included Centenary Methodist Church Choir of Suva Fiji, till today, though he taught me to be a Sabbath Keeper. He was the only Senior Cambridge Music Student of Queen Victoria School of Fiji from 1947-1952 where their Exam Papers are marked in England. Below are his beliefs in Classical Hymns; PART 1:- THE BIBLICAL FACTS OF INSPIRATION OF THE ANNOINTING OF THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS🙏🙏🙏. Dad WAS THE CHOIR CONDUCTOR FOR THE FIJI SCHOOL OF MEDICINE METHODIST CHAPEL CHOIR FROM 1953-1959? WHOM the Late Dr. Manoa Masi stated that Dad taught him Music. This was verified and supported & witnessed by the renowned Methodist Reverend Sotutu in 2008 at Novotel confirming Dr. Masi's [Renowned Methodist Church in SUVA Choir CONDUCTOR] claim that Dad was his Tutor while at FSM and Dad was the only Senior Cambridge Music Student from 1948 to 1952 at QUEEN VICTORIA SCHOOL:-PART 1. By Aca TuiSamoa, . NOTE:- MY Father who was a Dentist & only Senior Cambridge Music & Certificate Graduate Student of Queen Victoria School of Nukuloa Ra, QVS @ Lodoni at RKS & finally at QVS @ Matavatucou till today. Dad Admonished me to Treat the DIVINE INSPIRED NATURE OF ALL PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS 🙏 WITH Respect & Honor just like I would with Holy Bible for the Primary Source of it's Composition is and always be THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO INSPIRED THE AUTHORS & COMPOSERS OF THIS CLASSICAL HYMNS. THE FOLLOWING WISDOMS TO SUBSTANTIATE THE HOLINESS OF THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS ARE AS FOLLOWINGS:- [1]. The HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED ALL AUTHORS OF CLASSICAL POEMS THAT WERE TURNED INTO MUSIC AS CLASSICAL HYMNALS. [2]. THE HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED ALL COMPOSERS OF ALL PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS. [3]. THUS THE LYRICS &: MELODY OR MUSIC WAS INSPIRED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, MEANING BOTH LYRICS &:MELODY/MUSIC ARE THE CREATIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, SO IT IS THE ANNOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON THESE GODLY MEN & WOMEN TO WRITE & COMPOSE EACH &:EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS 🥰❤️ 🙏. (a). THEREFORE, WE CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT THESE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS HYMNALS ARE HOLY AS THE HOLY BIBLE. (b). This is the REASON whenever one who is stressed with Life's challenges but is humble to listen or sing along will feel and experience the ANNOINTING , COMFORTING, PEACE OR SHALOM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WILL BE HEALED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S COMFORTING & HEALING MIRACLE TO THE BEHOLDER OF EACH &:EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS 🙏. [4]. Like The HOLY BIBLE IS INSPIRED, SO AS THESE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS &:HYMNALS ❤️🥰🙏 THUS THE ELECTRO- MAGNETIC HEALING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER'S ARE STILL ALIVE & EXISTING IN THESE CLASSICAL HYMNS. IT WILL REMAIN WITH THEM UNTIL ETERNITY. THAT IS THE KEY & SECRET TO EACH & EVERY CLASSICAL POEMS & HYMNS. THIS HEALING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER'S IN EACH EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS IS THE SOURCE OF MIRACLE TO THE BEHOLDER, SINGER CHOIR & LISTENERS. Just like it does to each individuals who prayerfully reads the HOLY BIBLE, will experience the ANNOINTING COMFORTING PEACE & Presence of The HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER'S of HEALING & inspiration to the reader's life, elevating him/her by teleporting to His Glorious Presence there on the spot or to Heaven as it does to me. [4] THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HOLY BIBLE & HOLY PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS IS THE FOLLOWINGS:- (a). The HOLY BIBLE is INSPIRED & ANNOINTED, SO YOU HAVE TO PRAY WITH A SANCTIFIED LIFE &: LIFESTYLE, (b). While The HOLY PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS Music & Lyrics are INSPIRED &: ANNOINTED, THUS THE SINGER & CHOIR SHOULD HAVE A SANCTIFIED LIFE & LIFESTYLE that will overflow to the Listeners & congregation singing along with the Choir. Thus it is vitally imperative to only Sing The Protestant Churche's Classical Hymns, as it is part of worship to glorify God & be blessed by it. Never allow special items based on Contemporary Gospel Songs to be played or sung by an Individual or groups for the Congregation's Worship, but use the Choir to sing only Protestant Churche's Classical Hymns & Hymnals for they are Holy & Inspired. [5]. SINCE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE COMFORTER, HIS CREATIONS IN THIS CASE THE HOLY BIBLE & HOLY CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS have His Abiding Healings & Presence in them and WILL TOUCH THE SINGER/CHOIR WITH Hisv HIS PEACE OR SHALOM & COMFORT, THAT IS THE KEY, SECRET POWER OF HEALING INSPIRATION IN THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS. (c). Therefore the humble repenting sinner saved by Grace will feel the ANNOINTING peace or SHALOM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT by LISTENING OR SING ALONG to these THESE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS. [5]. ALL THE ATTRIBUTES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT will be experienced by the singer,choir & listeners. [6]. The SINGER, CHOIR, Listeners & those who sing along will experience THE DETAILED ATTRIBUTES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN 1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 13 OF THE 9 ASPECTS OF LOVE TO HIS/HER LIFE, THIS IS THE KEY & SECRET TO EXPERIENCING THE HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER'S OF HEALING AND COMFORTS ADDRESSING ALL YOUR BURDENS, NEEDS AND ILLS, THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S HEALINGS IN EACH &:EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS. [7]. THE SINGER, CHOIR, LISTENERS, &:SING-ALONGS WILL EXPERIENCE THE FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT as in Galatians chapter 5 verses 21-23. THEREFORE ONLY LISTEN & SING ALONG WITH PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS TO FIND PEACE, POWER OF HEALING AND COMFORTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. MALIE , HALLELUJAH TO JESUS FOR THIS PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS. ALL GLORY & HONOR TO OUR LORD CREATOR GOD JESUS CHRIST as Stated in the Gospel of John who has died for the penalty of our sins which is DEATH & HAIL OF FIRE OF HELL OF DESTRUCTION IN REVELATION CHAPTER 20 & AFTER THAT IN CHAPTERS 21 & 22 ETERNAL LIFE WILL COMMENCE SINCE ALL EVIL & SINNERS & LUCIFER & HIS FALLEN ANGELS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED FROM EXISTENCE THAT WE WILL NOT REMEMBER THEM ANYMORE FOR CEASE TO EXIST IN THE NEW EARTH FOR IT IS EDEN RESTORED AT REVELATION CHAPTER 21 & 22. THEREFORE, ONLY LISTEN & SING ALONG WITH THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS FOR YOUR PERSONAL DEVOTION OR FAMILY WORSHIP OR CHURCH WORSHIP HOURS. THE ONLY TIME TO LISTEN TO CONTEMPORARY GOSPEL IS WHEN YOU ARE NOT WORSHIPPING HOURS. SO CONTEMPORARY GOSPEL IS JUST FOR EASY LISTENING WHEN DOING SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF WORSHIP. MAY THE HOLY SPIRIT'S HEALINGS BE UPON EACH ONE OF YOU LISTENING TO EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS 🙏🙏🙏 BLESSED 2023 TO YOU ALL 🥰🙏🙏🙏
I've just downloaded this song ... it always gets me ...I'm from Botswana and this is the most beautiful song ive heard in my life .... I vow to Thee, my country 🙏🙏 Bless the UK and all countries in the world
I absolutely love this hymn!!! Even though I’m American and am proud to be an American, I hold very dear my British Heritage and our Mother Country. Almost all my ancestral lines came from the British Isles to America at some point. There’s something about England I feel deeply close to and feel I’ll always love.
From you sister across the pond, the idealism of culture goes both ways. The American revolution was a fight against tyranny; albeit the king's. A stand our sister countries still share today ❤🏴🇺🇲
@@tampanativeson I’m glad to hear some of my fellow Americans feel the same. Which Mayflower passengers are your ancestors? I have been studying the Mayflower History and the stories ancestors and relatives on it lately. I have 10 Mayflower ancestors John & Joan Tilley and their daughter Elizabeth Tilley who married John Howland (the one who fell off the Mayflower), Edward Fuller and Mrs. Edward Fuller, James and Mrs. James Chilton and their daughter Mary Chilton who married John Winslow, brother to Edward and Gilbert Winslow, and Richard Warren. I have 26 other relatives that came on the Mayflower too, g-grand uncles etc. Most of mine are 10th or 11th g-grandparents.
@@lyndsaycarline9791 true, we are very much sisters and share the love for our countries. I’ve never been to England 🏴 and am not really a person that likes to travel but something inside me has always wanted to go to the British Isles and I love the people there, I feel a closeness to them. My ancestors are from England 🏴 Wales 🏴 and Scotland 🏴 so I have a lot of distance relatives over there in Britain 🇬🇧 ❤️ from 🇺🇸
@@margaretstewart7404 I too have never been to America. Such a huge place... where are you from? That would make sense in terms of your surname; I think Stewart is an Scottish Lyon clan? My heritage is originally Scottiah too. We should talk, I'm not sure if you can direct message on RUclips?
@@lyndsaycarline9791 yes, we should. I don’t know about how you can direct message on RUclips either. Yes, there’s a Stewart clan in Scotland and some were Royalty. America is a really big place. I live in Utah. We have Scottish Festivals every year and I really enjoy them. They have parades were the different clans have their flag with their clan name. Each clan has a booth at the Festivals too. I used to be a Scottish dancer when I was younger with my sisters and my father played the bag pipes.
Browsing through the comments few seem to note that the music is a segment of Gustav Holst’s “Jupiter” from his suite “The Planets”, written in the early 20th century. Lyrics for a Catholic hymn, “Oh God beyond all praising,” also use this awesome music.
For those who are able to remember a long time ago, this hymn was chosen by Diana for her wedding to Prince Charles. She and Charles were allowed to choose a hymn for their wedding and this is the one Diana chose. As such I believe that Diana knew what she was getting into and she was promising to Britain that she would stick with it.
I heard my country calling, away across the sea, Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me. Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head, And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead; I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns; I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.
the Forgotten lyrics I heard my country calling, away across the sea, Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me. Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead; I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns; I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.
@@janeminwell4395 yes it's the forgotten lyrics for I vow to thee, so actually the composer's forgot to play the lyrics during the first recording of the song
@@janeminwell4395 Yes, but even for the time back then, it was exceptionally war oriented. Today, it's BEST they be forgotten or better, lost for good.
Missing second verse: "I heard my country calling, away across the sea, Across the waste of waters she calls and calls to me; Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on hear head; And round her feet are lying the dying and the dead; I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns, I haste to thee my mother, a son among her sons."

Wonderful!! 💓🏴 I love my England
I love how everyone need to sing from a script…. Except for Princess Anne. Hurrah! How hard is it to commit to memory those beautiful lyrics?
Always makes me cry. I will have this at my funeral
Hard not to get emotional hearing this.
Even as a pure breed American born. I still some how find such attraction and devotion for the Mother Country. What a beautiful hymn.
As a old school New Englander, I concur with you statement
This was played at the funeral of John Mccain
As a Canadian soldier, agnostic-maybe?, and one who holds only the most ancillary and begrudging place in my heart for anything even remotely religious, I'd say the same about: "the Battle hymn of the Republic" and many more American war Hymns.
Pure breeds would suggest you come from the British or have that linage :P But I understood and respected the comment. Well said.
We are all Mutts!
God Bless the Royal Air Force Amen
Thank you..
A. M E N !!!
Such a beautiful and ancient shred from our most distant past. As Her Majesty's mortal remains were lowered into the dark the piper called her soul to the light of day and freedom. No way not cry at the sheer majesty of it.
O God Beyond All Praising is sung to the same tune. We sing it at Mass for special occasions and I love it so much. Goosebumps, no matter what lyrics 😍
Rest in peace together Beloved Queen Elizabeth and her Beloved Prince Philip.
So majestic!
As a people of the Lord we should serve our earthly kingdom as part of cultural mandate in the Bible, but dont forget there is also an eternal kingdom so we should always to pleasing God
People in england nowadays nowadays forgots what Christianity is!
I totally agree, so majestic indeed
I am Austrian my dad was English 🏴 I love him very much

I was raised loving some of Charles Wesley's Hymns Composition 🥰❤️🙏
Dad was raised straight after birth by his Uncle, his mother's brother who was a METHODIST Catechist far from his island from 1934-1952, used to remind me, it is in the Inspired Classical Hymns, The Holy Spirit inspired Holy Sanctified Men & Women to write & compose these Divine Inspired Classical Hymns, and in Singing or listening to them, You meet God while singing it inductively & meditatingly🙏.
While Growing up as a tiny toddler, my Dad played only The Westminster Abbey Choir from England & King's College Choir till at 10 years old than included Centenary Methodist Church Choir of Suva Fiji, till today, though he taught me to be a Sabbath Keeper. He was the only Senior Cambridge Music Student of Queen Victoria School of Fiji from 1947-1952 where their Exam Papers are marked in England. Below are his beliefs in Classical Hymns;
PART 1:- THE BIBLICAL FACTS OF INSPIRATION OF THE ANNOINTING OF THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS🙏🙏🙏. Dad WAS THE CHOIR CONDUCTOR FOR THE FIJI SCHOOL OF MEDICINE METHODIST CHAPEL CHOIR FROM 1953-1959? WHOM the Late Dr. Manoa Masi stated that Dad taught him Music. This was verified and supported & witnessed by the renowned Methodist Reverend Sotutu in 2008 at Novotel confirming Dr. Masi's [Renowned Methodist Church in SUVA Choir CONDUCTOR] claim that Dad was his Tutor while at FSM and Dad was the only Senior Cambridge Music Student from 1948 to 1952 at QUEEN VICTORIA SCHOOL:-PART 1. By Aca TuiSamoa,
.
NOTE:-
MY Father who was a Dentist & only Senior Cambridge Music & Certificate Graduate Student of Queen Victoria School of Nukuloa Ra, QVS @ Lodoni at RKS & finally at QVS @ Matavatucou till today. Dad Admonished me to Treat the DIVINE INSPIRED NATURE OF ALL PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS 🙏 WITH Respect & Honor just like I would with Holy Bible for the Primary Source of it's Composition is and always be THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO INSPIRED THE AUTHORS & COMPOSERS OF THIS CLASSICAL HYMNS. THE FOLLOWING WISDOMS TO SUBSTANTIATE THE HOLINESS OF THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS ARE AS FOLLOWINGS:-
[1]. The HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED ALL AUTHORS OF CLASSICAL POEMS THAT WERE TURNED INTO MUSIC AS CLASSICAL HYMNALS.
[2]. THE HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED ALL COMPOSERS OF ALL PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS.
[3]. THUS THE LYRICS &: MELODY OR MUSIC WAS INSPIRED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, MEANING BOTH LYRICS &:MELODY/MUSIC ARE THE CREATIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, SO IT IS THE ANNOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON THESE GODLY MEN & WOMEN TO WRITE & COMPOSE EACH &:EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS 🥰❤️ 🙏.
(a). THEREFORE, WE CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT THESE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS HYMNALS ARE HOLY AS THE HOLY BIBLE.
(b). This is the REASON whenever one who is stressed with Life's challenges but is humble to listen or sing along will feel and experience the ANNOINTING , COMFORTING, PEACE OR SHALOM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WILL BE HEALED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S COMFORTING & HEALING MIRACLE TO THE BEHOLDER OF EACH &:EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS 🙏.
[4]. Like The HOLY BIBLE IS INSPIRED, SO AS THESE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS &:HYMNALS ❤️🥰🙏 THUS THE ELECTRO- MAGNETIC HEALING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER'S ARE STILL ALIVE & EXISTING IN THESE CLASSICAL HYMNS. IT WILL REMAIN WITH THEM UNTIL ETERNITY. THAT IS THE KEY & SECRET TO EACH & EVERY CLASSICAL POEMS & HYMNS. THIS HEALING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER'S IN EACH EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS IS THE SOURCE OF MIRACLE TO THE BEHOLDER, SINGER CHOIR & LISTENERS. Just like it does to each individuals who prayerfully reads the HOLY BIBLE, will experience the ANNOINTING COMFORTING PEACE & Presence of The HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER'S of HEALING & inspiration to the reader's life, elevating him/her by teleporting to His Glorious Presence there on the spot or to Heaven as it does to me.
[4] THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HOLY BIBLE & HOLY PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS IS THE FOLLOWINGS:-
(a). The HOLY BIBLE is INSPIRED & ANNOINTED, SO YOU HAVE TO PRAY WITH A SANCTIFIED LIFE &: LIFESTYLE,
(b). While The HOLY PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS Music & Lyrics are INSPIRED &: ANNOINTED, THUS THE SINGER & CHOIR SHOULD HAVE A SANCTIFIED LIFE & LIFESTYLE that will overflow to the Listeners & congregation singing along with the Choir. Thus it is vitally imperative to only Sing The Protestant Churche's Classical Hymns, as it is part of worship to glorify God & be blessed by it. Never allow special items based on Contemporary Gospel Songs to be played or sung by an Individual or groups for the Congregation's Worship, but use the Choir to sing only Protestant Churche's Classical Hymns & Hymnals for they are Holy & Inspired.
[5]. SINCE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE COMFORTER, HIS CREATIONS IN THIS CASE THE HOLY BIBLE & HOLY CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS have His Abiding Healings & Presence in them and WILL TOUCH THE SINGER/CHOIR WITH Hisv HIS PEACE OR SHALOM & COMFORT, THAT IS THE KEY, SECRET POWER OF HEALING INSPIRATION IN THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS.
(c). Therefore the humble repenting sinner saved by Grace will feel the ANNOINTING peace or SHALOM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT by LISTENING OR SING ALONG to these THESE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS.
[5]. ALL THE ATTRIBUTES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT will be experienced by the singer,choir & listeners.
[6]. The SINGER, CHOIR, Listeners & those who sing along will experience THE DETAILED ATTRIBUTES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN 1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 13 OF THE 9 ASPECTS OF LOVE TO HIS/HER LIFE, THIS IS THE KEY & SECRET TO EXPERIENCING THE HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER'S OF HEALING AND COMFORTS ADDRESSING ALL YOUR BURDENS, NEEDS AND ILLS, THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S HEALINGS IN EACH &:EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS.
[7]. THE SINGER, CHOIR, LISTENERS, &:SING-ALONGS WILL EXPERIENCE THE FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT as in Galatians chapter 5 verses 21-23.
THEREFORE ONLY LISTEN & SING ALONG WITH PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS TO FIND PEACE, POWER OF HEALING AND COMFORTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
MALIE , HALLELUJAH TO JESUS FOR THIS PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS. ALL GLORY & HONOR TO OUR LORD CREATOR GOD JESUS CHRIST as Stated in the Gospel of John who has died for the penalty of our sins which is DEATH & HAIL OF FIRE OF HELL OF DESTRUCTION IN REVELATION CHAPTER 20 & AFTER THAT IN CHAPTERS 21 & 22 ETERNAL LIFE WILL COMMENCE SINCE ALL EVIL & SINNERS & LUCIFER & HIS FALLEN ANGELS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED FROM EXISTENCE THAT WE WILL NOT REMEMBER THEM ANYMORE FOR CEASE TO EXIST IN THE NEW EARTH FOR IT IS EDEN RESTORED AT REVELATION CHAPTER 21 & 22.
THEREFORE, ONLY LISTEN & SING ALONG WITH THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS FOR YOUR PERSONAL DEVOTION OR FAMILY WORSHIP OR CHURCH WORSHIP HOURS.
THE ONLY TIME TO LISTEN TO CONTEMPORARY GOSPEL IS WHEN YOU ARE NOT WORSHIPPING HOURS. SO CONTEMPORARY GOSPEL IS JUST FOR EASY LISTENING WHEN DOING SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF WORSHIP.
MAY THE HOLY SPIRIT'S HEALINGS BE UPON EACH ONE OF YOU LISTENING TO EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS 🙏🙏🙏 BLESSED 2023 TO YOU ALL 🥰🙏🙏🙏
A beautiful Hymn being sang in a Majestic Cathedral..So touching and it brings tears to my eyes.
I am 80 years old veteran ex military
Good bless the king 🏴
What a beautiful captivating song. The lyrics are so inspiring and enhancing. I love it.
Gorgeous pipe organ, and a very beautiful hymn!
I've just downloaded this song ... it always gets me ...I'm from Botswana and this is the most beautiful song ive heard in my life .... I vow to Thee, my country 🙏🙏 Bless the UK and all countries in the world
Great instrument, and good to hear the hymn version played as an organ solo!
This should be their national anthem. Truly beautiful.
I absolutely love this hymn!!! Even though I’m American and am proud to be an American, I hold very dear my British Heritage and our Mother Country. Almost all my ancestral lines came from the British Isles to America at some point. There’s something about England I feel deeply close to and feel I’ll always love.
From you sister across the pond, the idealism of culture goes both ways. The American revolution was a fight against tyranny; albeit the king's. A stand our sister countries still share today ❤🏴🇺🇲
@@tampanativeson I’m glad to hear some of my fellow Americans feel the same. Which Mayflower passengers are your ancestors? I have been studying the Mayflower History and the stories ancestors and relatives on it lately. I have 10 Mayflower ancestors John & Joan Tilley and their daughter Elizabeth Tilley who married John Howland (the one who fell off the Mayflower), Edward Fuller and Mrs. Edward Fuller, James and Mrs. James Chilton and their daughter Mary Chilton who married John Winslow, brother to Edward and Gilbert Winslow, and Richard Warren. I have 26 other relatives that came on the Mayflower too, g-grand uncles etc. Most of mine are 10th or 11th g-grandparents.
@@lyndsaycarline9791 true, we are very much sisters and share the love for our countries. I’ve never been to England 🏴 and am not really a person that likes to travel but something inside me has always wanted to go to the British Isles and I love the people there, I feel a closeness to them. My ancestors are from
England 🏴 Wales 🏴 and Scotland 🏴 so I have a lot of distance relatives over there in Britain 🇬🇧
❤️ from 🇺🇸
@@margaretstewart7404 I too have never been to America. Such a huge place... where are you from? That would make sense in terms of your surname; I think Stewart is an Scottish Lyon clan? My heritage is originally Scottiah too. We should talk, I'm not sure if you can direct message on RUclips?
@@lyndsaycarline9791 yes, we should. I don’t know about how you can direct message on RUclips either. Yes, there’s a Stewart clan in Scotland and some were Royalty. America is a really big place. I live in Utah. We have Scottish Festivals every year and I really enjoy them. They have parades were the different clans have their flag with their clan name. Each clan has a booth at the Festivals too. I used to be a Scottish dancer when I was younger with my sisters and my father played the bag pipes.
Browsing through the comments few seem to note that the music is a segment of Gustav Holst’s “Jupiter” from his suite “The Planets”, written in the early 20th century. Lyrics for a Catholic hymn, “Oh God beyond all praising,” also use this awesome music.
Maravilloso and im from Chile y ver a los ingleses cantar este himno con emoción me deslumbra
I love hymns How our Lord gifts his followers with such talent so that we can all sing and worship Him together. Words from scripture
I remember singing this during assembly. Proud of my boyhood days
Gustav Holst wrote a suite called "The Planets". This music is the central section of the Jupiter movement.
Long live the United Kingdom, Long live the Queen. 😢🇬🇧❤
This reminds me of the funeral of the beloved Princess Diana. She remains in the souls of millions.
The Queen of hearts
This Hymn, along with "Battle Hymn of the Republic" are my favorites I've ever heard.
C'est magnifique UK ❤
Are you not French?
Aotearoa New Zealand stands with the commonwealth, we shall never surrender
🇬🇧🇳🇿
Touching the heartstrings that's for sure makes you proud of being British 🇬🇧
For those who are able to remember a long time ago, this hymn was chosen by Diana for her wedding to Prince Charles. She and Charles were allowed to choose a hymn for their wedding and this is the one Diana chose. As such I believe that Diana knew what she was getting into and she was promising to Britain that she would stick with it.
Wonderful words
The love that asks no questions
Britain is unique
Beautiful! One of my all-time faves! 🤩
Remember to our Queen 👸 forever!❤🙏😭😭🇨🇦
HRH Phillip, the gods bless thee and welcome thee. Fair winds and following seas.
I LOVE this anthem so much.
I heard my country calling, away across the sea,
Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me.
Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head,
And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead;
I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns;
I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.
I wish this was still sung. Pity they decided to remove this second verse.
I think of Diana whenever I hear this - she was a beautiful soul.
this is one of my favourite hymns
God save Britain and it’s good people 🇬🇧
So Beautiful Hymns. ❤❤❤
I am very glad to hear the hymns ride on
The Princess Royal singing from memory. ❤
In the USA it would be called O God Beyond All Praising which is the American version of I Vow To Thee My Country.
And I didn't realize Gustav Holst wrote I Vow to Thee My Country. One of the major composers, especially for Britain, which has only a handful.
the Forgotten lyrics
I heard my country calling, away across the sea,
Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me.
Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head
And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead;
I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns;
I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.
Was this another verse?
@@janeminwell4395 yes it's the forgotten lyrics for I vow to thee, so actually the composer's forgot to play the lyrics during the first recording of the song
@@graffriedrichvontanjung2487 Evocative words, as are the rest. Used to sing this hymn at school, absolutely love it.
@@janeminwell4395 Yes, but even for the time back then, it was exceptionally war oriented. Today, it's BEST they be forgotten or better, lost for good.
@@alwellus So brave. Cancel ANYTHING which doesn't conform to present day multicultural standards.
God save the wonderful king and queen❤
I love Great Britain ❤🇬🇧🇩🇪❤️
Listening to this after the announcement that the queen has died
You can’t beat the English for hymns.
Whooah.! Charles can’ t bothered to sing…. Yet Princess Anne knows all the words….. and looks sincere!
RIP Prince Philip
I’m having this played at my wedding and funeral twice at the beginning and end of the masses and O God Beyond All Praising as well
If they don’t sing this song at the Queen’s funeral I’m staging a protest
Unfortunately they did not play it, which for me was a shame, as the lyrics are most fitting of our wonderful Queen.
God bless the people who landed at D-Day. Heroes for all time.
Love from America.
Requiescat in Pace, Elizabeth II.
Long live the King.
magnificent hymn!
R.I.P Prince Philip.🙏
Amen.💜✨
GOD BLESS BRITAIN. FROM GERMAN VATERLAND

I love this hymn!!!
Missing second verse:
"I heard my country calling, away across the sea,
Across the waste of waters she calls and calls to me;
Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on hear head;
And round her feet are lying the dying and the dead;
I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns,
I haste to thee my mother, a son among her sons."
Proud and grateful to be English 😊
Amazing, so beautiful.
