      Just take a look around - they are there! The trouble is that the most of these peoples are not so much visible but they are there and they are realizing their innermost believes - I believe that, I hope that! They are our future in a good way

    My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
    My sin, not in part but the whole
    Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more
    Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, o my soul!

    1 When peace like a river attendeth my way,
    when sorrows like sea billows roll;
    whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
    "It is well, it is well with my soul."
    Refrain
    It is well with my soul;
    it is well, it is well with my soul.
    2 Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
    let this blest assurance control:
    that Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
    and has shed his own blood for my soul. Refrain
    3 My sin oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
    my sin, not in part, but the whole,
    is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more;
    praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! Refrain
    4 O Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
    the clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
    the trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend;
    even so, it is well with my soul. Refrain

    I went to a Ghanaian funeral at an Anglican church in London last year - this was the hymn sung as the mourners filed past the coffin to pay their respects - which took about 15 minutes and thus several repetitions for the bemused organist - but the mourners all knew it off by heart - it was quite a moment!

    • @angelah2083
      @angelah2083 11 месяцев назад +4

      @@Marcel_AudubonBemused as in puzzled. One of the most experienced members of the RCO, he said afterwards he'd not come across the hymn before (neither had I), and more importantly didn't know how long the filing past was going to go on. But I'm sure you have a better word in your vocabulary for a professional organist on edge, so do please substitute.
      My music theory teacher, a voluble South African lady, had a penchant for building her latest tale of woe towards a crescendo of "my dear, I nearly had a cadenza!".

    Das mussten wir als Kinder immer wieder mal im Kindergottesdienst singen.
    Da kommen alte Erinnerungen hoch, wie wir als Kinder gezwungen wurden, diesen Gottesmist mitzusingen.
    Heute habe ich es geschafft, die alten Choräle als Entspannungsmelodien wahrzunehmen und ich bin dann immer wieder froh über die endlose Freiheit, die ich durch die Erkenntnis gewonnen habe
    Traurig finde ich nur, dass dieser Gottmüll letztendlich immer noch religionsübergreifend dazu dient, die Taschen der weniger intelligenten Mitmenschen zu leeren.
