I didn't know much about this song until it was performed at my grandfather's funeral and since then it has become one of my favorites, for both bittersweet reasons and because I love the song. I have looked for many different arrangements that stick to the true melody of the song and this one is one of them. Beautiful.
It is NOT "well with my soul" right now, in this time of political rancor, strife, stress, and uncertainty. When I feel like this, I listen to Duke's rendition of this beautiful song: it helps to "re-center" my soul!
It is in times of trouble that Jesus can be our rock. No matter the weather our soul is anchored to Him. That is what this song is all about. I will pray for you. May you be happy and healthy.
John Gill ...so glad you like it! We love singing it in the Duke Chapel Choir , and I am so blessed to have been a small part of the creation of this arrangement of such a magnificent poem and score. Sometimes I'm unable to see the notes and sing it in performance through the tears.
Tom, this was just a couple of years before I joined, and I must admit to being a bit jealous: I wish I had been there to sing it! What a fine arrangement, and sung so well by the choir. I hope we will do it again some time soon. How good of you to commission a piece for the choir, too!

Amen.
Wow
Absolutely stunning. I am a church choir director and sent a link to them so that they could listen to it. Thanks for posting this!

I can certainly identify with that - especially if you know the background of this hymn and how it came to be written. Keep up the excellent work!
@@jk8429 The history behind this song is truly haunting and captivating at the same time. Such a tragedy but such a beautiful creation came from it.

How is Dr. Wynkoop? Is he still conducting?

Nice choir, but y'all need a couple of basses. I mean real basses, not baritones giving it a shot. Other than that, very good ensemble.
