- This is the next of the series of hymns on reed organ. This one has been my one of my favorites since Sunday School many years ago.
William O. Cushing (1823-1902) was an American minister and hymn writer. After the death of his wife in 1870 and with declining health, he retired from the ministry and began writing hymns. He wrote over 300 hymns, including "Under His Wings," "When He Cometh," "Ring the Bells of Heaven", "Follow On," and "Hiding in Thee" (from www.wholesomewords.org). George Frederick Root wrote the words to this hymn. He was born in 1820 and died in 1895, and wrote many other hymns and melodies.
Played on a Karn reed organ, manufactured in Woodstock Ontario Canada in 1910. The Registrations are marked as noted, + is when I add it, and - when I turn the stop off.
This lovely hymn has great meaning to those of
us who have had to give up a child to heaven. They
are Jesus' precious jewels and thanks for your
tender rendition.
I think that you are single handedly keeping interest alive in these humble little "American" organs. This sound is all but buried in the drowning noise of today. Perhaps the Lord has his hand these heavenly strains, as demonstrated by your talent and these great Hymns of the Faith. Thanks for posting and sharin!
Thank you so much for commenting, this really means a lot to me to know that people enjoy these simple videos and that they can be a blessing. I never thought I would be able to do that for others... :)
This is one of the best reed organs I've ever heard, even after 50 yrs. of building and restoring instruments. I never cease to be amazed at the expression thats possible on the harmonium family of instruments. The free reed came from China and is about 2500 years old (originally made of bamboo). Great playing. Keep 'em coming!
Love that you displayed the names of the registrations! Your videos are always so educational, inspiring, and a joy to listen to. Thank you!
Sounds GREAT! I love the use of the tremulent in the stop in the left hand. We have this in our hymnal and it is called "Jewels"
Hi Rodney,
I too like the addition of the registration changes. It gives yet another key into how to play a reed organ. You have truly mastered this instrument and there are not many out there that have done so.
Thank you yet again for a great video and wonderful piece.
Steven
Thank you, you are very kind! I'm happy to see that the numbers of RUclips channels are growing that have reed organs in them - every video helps to show how wonderful these instruments really are. How did you know my hymnbook that I played this from is actually called "Great Hymns of the Faith"? :)
This is such a butyfull hymn. Your DW. Karn has a massive sound unleashed by God bessed hands. Thank you wery much for sharing it with us.
Beautiful!!!
Thank you very much! I thought I would give it a try to show the registration changes since it has been requested in the past, hopefully it makes some sense.
somos joias preciosas do tesouro do Senhor...
We sang this is in Sunday school. Brings back such beautiful memories. Thank you
All of your videos are a rich blessing for me. I cannot thank you enough. May God Bless!
Thank you, Rodney, for this beautiful old Hymn which can still be sung with gusto on "Sankey" Nights. "When He Cometh" seems to be a Hymn everyone knew and loved. God bless you and your Music Ministry. Charlie, Aberdeen, Scotland.
Pity I didn't watch this before I planned yesterday's service! It would have fitted well. I too know this from way back - probably late '50's. Very nice arrangement.
Very sweet sound indeed, Rodney ! Congrats!
I love the tremulant on this instrument! Great playing as always! Thanks!
wow.....what great sounds and contrast of sounds.....as i can, i will view/listen to all your videos...might even cut a CD of selected melodies for my personal use (OK?).......you are a great artist and do much to bring these nostalgic reed organs/sounds to the delight of many....many thanks.....jrz
Thanks Steven, you are so kind! I hope it can give ideas of the options available on a reed organ that can be applied to simple hymns like this. I always like to keep the grand organ open while I "de-register" the stops, as it can provide a large contrast of tone when after the grand organ is released.
Very nice, Honey! :)
Thank you Dib!
Maybe try some -6 glasses? :-D I agree that they could be on longer now that I think about it. For me, I recognize the stop names immediately, but those not familiar with an organ like this would have to read into it more. Thanks for the suggestion, I really appreciate it!
Thanks for your response. I actually have a hymnal entitled "Great Hymns of the Faith" with Singspiration as the publisher. My mention of it didn't actually have the hymnal in mind! Keep up the great work. I have two portable reed organs in need of restoration. Someday...
A very amazing sound and thank you for telling us with what stops you achieve this
Just so beautiful Rodney. I ALWAYS love your videos. Too bad Karns rarely make an appearence in my area. Usually all we get around here are the same old cookie cutter organs with the tall backs declared "in perfect working condition." What this usually means is that the owner has heard it make a sound before their feet were worn out! LOL

Ya, I seen those too, the ones where they say work perfectly, yet in the picture half the keys are stuck down and one of the pedal straps are broken :) At least it makes me smile when I see those kind, perhaps that was the intent...
Thanks my dear :)
Very nice!! One minor flaw: some of the stopchanges on screens are gone before I could read them with -5 my glasses :-p
These little organs were in every country church from 1870's to 1950's when many of the churches closed. I don't know how they could be heard over the loud singing of the congergation. Vandals stole and destroyed the little organs. They have been redone, the[ volumne,] and possibly electrified. They sound great.
Rodney, what action number is this organ? The stoplist seems identical, or almost so, to the one I'm working on now.
Beautiful!
