The modern church is robbing itself of timeless treasures. God will bless you through your appreciation of these masterpieces. Many were written to complement the sermons and to teach important doctrine to a sometimes illiterate congregation. Then there is the worship angle -- read the hymn stories and learn about the life influences of the composers. You will be edified by what the writers went through -- by the grace of God. Classic hymns will comfort you; learn them! Blessings...
The 3 tools of artistry GOD has given to men, you, the LORD'S friend and brother have given honor. 1. Tasteful range of dynamics from soft to loud; 2. Tempo changes are always graceful; and 3. Articulation changes between legato and staccato. The changes are always fresh and the unity between the voices, impeccable. I don't say this to flatter but to encourage. The Christian world needs this standard of excellence to draw respect from those outside of faith because the world's ways deny GOD'S.
There is something peculiarly sacred in the human voice. Its harmony and its subdued and heaven-inspired pathos exceeds every musical instrument. Vocal music is one of God's gifts to men, an instrument that cannot be surpassed or equaled when God's love abounds in the soul. Singing with the spirit and the understanding also is a great addition to devotional services in the house of God. ~Ellen White
Awesome! My mom-in-law lost her vision before her death. This song was sung at her funeral by a blind vocalist. Sooo beautiful! I could listen to Sam Robson's vocal arrangements all day and hope one day to be able to listen to him in the car with his CD. A piece of heaven on earth.
I see/hear many good singers and some great and I listen and enjoy. When I heard your music, I was not just blown away by the talent but by the ANOINTING, I not only listened I was compelled to praise and worship. God bless you richly Sam Robson! Keep glorifying God with your God-given talent. Shalom!
A friend shared your "I need Thee Every Hour" video with me. You have an incredible God-given talent, Sam! I shared your video with my 82 year old father and it brought him to tears! Thank you for honoring our Lord and Savior with your music! May you be blessed!!
Aww. .. One of the hymns that express my heart deeply. Praises to the Lord Jesus Christ for the gift that He had given you and your use of it to honor Him. Continue to lead people to worship our Most Worthy Redeemer King! May you decrease as He increase in you. Thank you for blessing us through the blessing the Lord had given you. Lord bless you even more, that you may point people to Him even more! :)
My friend not a one of us on this planet is perfect. We live in a broken world. Suffice to say that my 18 year old ADHD son is one of the smartest people I know. He's funny, extremely intelligent, he's a very gifted percussionist and has a deep love for God, his family and friends. I wouldn't change anything about him including his ADHD because God made him that way for a reason. As with Sam Robson, we just appreciate the gifts and God given talent in others including yours whatever they may be.
Wow - Sam, you truly are a gift! Praise the Living God!!! Isn't it interesting how folks like "owenrhysmusic" get so angry about people expressing their faith? "Owen," why are you so angry? If you have been "burned" by people who claim to follow Jesus (like so many, unfortunately!), then be mad at people - they're (WE'RE) the ones to blame! Seek out Who was the one who created all this beauty and order - and discover how he chose to SAVE US out of our brokenness... God bless you!!!
You, gentle Sir, have brought me to tears. You are an incredible vocalist and artist; you are truly a gift. Thank you for sharing your beauty and soul. May you continue to be Blessed+
Hey everyone! thank you so much for all your responses, this is a quick announcement to say that my Hymn album will be released as Digital (7th July 2015) Physical (14th July 2015) It's not long now!!!
I cannot adequately express in words how much I love this arrangement. I like pretty much any Irish tune, but this tune is among my favourites, and this arrangement only increases my liking of it. I just want to listen to it over and over and over and ...
I came across a video where you sang the hymn"I Need The O I Need Thee" video and was astounded of the impact it had while listening to all the harmony. I was in tears with joy. Please continue to render this wonderful gift that God has given, God continue to bless you!
haha Joyce, i completely agree with you. This is one of my favorite ever songs of all time, of any genre!! LOVE this hymn!! and he does a tremendous job of it!
This is one of my very favorites. Sam, you look so serene singing this that it just fills me with peace. Hearing you sing is a joy, and seeing you sing is a blessing. :-)
Awestruck. I don't have the words. I am not going to waste any more time searching for words to describe something so indescribable because I want to listen to all of your other songs. Praying God keeps blessing you and using you to bless.
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart Naught be all else to me, save that thou art Thou my best thought, by day or by night Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord Thou my great Father, and I thy true son Thou in me dwelling and I with thee one Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise Thou mine inheritance, now and always Thou and thou only first in my heart High King of heaven, my treasure thou art High King of heaven, my victory won May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's sun Heart of my own heart, whatever befall Still be my vision, O ruler of all Heart of my own heart, whatever befall Still be my vision, O ruler of all
Beautiful! What a gifted voice. This is one of my favorite hymns, along with How Great Thou Art and I Need Thee...all of which you have enriched with your rendition. Thank you and many blessings. Can't wait to pick up your hymn album!
I keep watching all of your arrangements of hymns done by yourself over and over. I've found Be Thou My Vision, How Great Thou Art, I Need Thee Every Hour and It Is Well With My Soul. Are there any more? What a talent! Thanks for putting the work in and sharing your talent!
I pause when I listen to his music,,Michael!!!! It truly blesses my heart and I just get so carried away listening to the chords you have produced, Sam,,that I'm in another world..just enjoying the talent that God has given you!!! Thanks!!!
I am crying so hard. That is the most beautiful harmony I have ever experienced in my 41 years on the earth. As a vocal performance major in college, that is saying a lot. I have heard so much music in my lifetime, many arrangements, choral and a capella. I have never been moved by such beauty by such vocal passion.
I love the change in the "ooh section" makes your ear really tune in more. Great job man! Truly a blessing you have here! Keep up the work! You're ability to lock in those chords is just crazy good.
This is one of my favorites of all the songs Sam sings. It is so mellow and gives me such a peaceful feeling. Sam has a beautiful soul and it is reflected in his music. I am so blessed to have found this outrageously talented young man! :-)
What a wonderful God given talent. Your voice is pure joy and spiritually uplifting. Your arrangements... what can I say. I'm an a capella singer myself, so I truly appreciate your gift. I cannot wait for a CD to play here in Australia. You've made my day....truly.
I just love your music. You've got such a gift of music. I hope the Lord blesses you for standing out and praising Him with your voice. Thanks so much, man.
An ancient Irish melody Slane, composer unknown (he-he-he, it was written by the hand of God) that very well may have changed the course of civilization from Pagan barbarism to the Gospel of Love. Sam Robson slays Slane! Thank you Sam for keeping true to the melody. It's utter simplicity is it's profound power in my opinion, and while you added a trill or two here and there to bring it up to date, your rendition is simply sublime, might I say, inspired. Lovely. One of the hymns that helps me keep my faith.
+VON FRANKNSTEINS MADMUSICLAB Now you are stalking and harassing me, you will be reported and arrested. Your Father Satan did you no favors. You will learn civility the hard way by the long arm of the law.
This performance blessed me tonight, after a hard week at work, working with the mentally ill, then to hear this peaceful, prayerful rendition...I feel calm and renewed. What a gift.
In a generation where churches feel that they need to eliminate or “update” these timeless hymns, you are showing them the power of the words in singing them the way they were written. Thank you for sharing this wonderful gift to those of us who grew up singing them and to a new generation, who will finally understand why they hold such power to those who follow the God who inspired them.
Beautiful! I have been using your hymns as background music for my children to learn these great hymns. Thank you!! My four year old can now sing It Is Well With Thy Soul.
Wow! So awesome. I have to sing tenor on Sunday and found this 4 part harmony. Excellent! One day when my voice grows up it wants to be Sam Robson. God bless you man!
As a professional musician, as an arranger and composer, and most importantly someone who loves Jesus, I have to say that you, Sam, and James Rose lead me to new heights spiritually. Aside from your incredible talent, your arrangements and performances are, I'm sure, now heard in Heaven's courts....keep up the anointed work, brother; see you in that Day!
Sam, this is my favorite hymn and i've never heard it done more beautifully. I've replayed it a thousand times and sent the link to all my friends. Thank you for this gift and I would love to hear from you.
I love this song and this arrangement. You know that feeling you get when you do that yoga relaxing thing, like relaxing every part of your body? Yeah. That's awesome.

Andrew Kramar so fun to find an EGW quote in this comment section! It was one of the first comments I saw! :)
The pen of inspiration.
A while back I was inspired to write a small presentation on this very idea. Didn't know about Ellen White, but she seems to have the right idea.
@marthale7 What's the basis on your belief that she's a false prophet?
blessed blessed! " King David- the Psalimist would smile were he alive today! Let Him be thy vision.
It's rare when a headbanger like me is impressed by an old hymn. Thank you.
Can you do "As the deer pants for the water"?
Gifted and giving, that's your talent, irreplaceable in this world of turmoil and anxiety.
My soul rejoices in the words and angelic harmonies! So refreshing! Lord, I thank You for music! :-)
God bless you, abundantly. Thank you so much, dear.
Thank You, Lord!! Amen.
To God be the glory for your willingness to use this beautiful and multifaceted gift!
As soothing as David playing his harp. It is good to find someone who uses their gift to simply touch others hearts
Do continue to praise God with your talent! See you in heaven!

I am crying and loving the sound. Makes we weep with worship as I hear your instrument praise HIM.
Praise the Lord!..you have been gifted this beautiful voice! What a blessing!
So glad to see such a young person understand what meaningful Christian songs are. So few people understand that concept.
A friend shared your "I need Thee Every Hour" video with me. You have an incredible God-given talent, Sam! I shared your video with my 82 year old father and it brought him to tears! Thank you for honoring our Lord and Savior with your music! May you be blessed!!

Thank you for leading us in such a powerful worship song.

4 years later, still can't get over it! God bless Sam Robson, don't you ever grow weary of doing good work.
One of a handful of songs, and this version in particular, that can consistently move me to tears. I have requested that it be played at my funeral.
Excellent head tones, close and modern harmony, phrasing, perfect pitch, lovely expression. You make it look so effortless.
Everything I have heard so far moves me deeply, thank you for sharing your gift with the world!

Gloriously beautiful! I need this lovely hymn during a time of stress.
If this doesn't stir something inside you, regardless of any religion, something's wrong.
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light
Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father, and I thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with thee one
Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise
Thou mine inheritance, now and always
Thou and thou only first in my heart
High King of heaven, my treasure thou art
High King of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O ruler of all
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O ruler of all
