Beautiful! Simply gorgeous! My Dad passed away this morning and this evening I was searching for some hymns to listen to on RUclips. Praise God I found your song and renditions. They brought me great joy and plenty of spirit cleansing tears. Thank you
I see that it's been 5 years since your dad passed away. but you mentioned it was that very morning. that's quite the experience. losing a parent. I pray that his passing from this life opened doors for you to redeem the pain in some small way. God bless you.
Sam, I'm not sure what it is going to sound like in heaven when the angels are singing the praises of the Lord, but I think I finally have a glimpse of it. Blessings on you and your music my friend.
Thank you for sharing your God given talent with us all. Playing it now for my precious Daddy as he is in ICU with a broken neck. Crying my eyes out. Could feel the spirit of our Dear Lord here with us❤ You are amazing.
I'm having the odd experience of.. being unusually soft-hearted and extremely easily moved to tears by any kind of human expression of kindness or beauty.. I came to this video and i'm just bawling my eyes out.. it's so beautiful
Remember the Psalmist... in Psalm 42 saying: "My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?” We say: "My God is in me! He became flesh. He died for me. He resurrected. Then He came as the Spirit to dwell in my spirit. And now Christ is making my heart His home...just by faith!"
Straight to the heart - the Sam Robson 'choir' I awoke this day recalling something my late Mom said to me when she was not yet 50 years old and I was 20 something. She'd had a vision of heaven in her sleep and awoke with a joyous feeling like no other. It was “beyond words” to describe -- except for one detail. That the 'floor' at her feet, extending outward was “like a sea of glass.” Coincidentally or not (Mom always said “There ARE no coincidences!”) after noting that the President of the United States had declared this Sunday March 15 to be a 'national day of prayer' I went in search of my favorite hymn, performed 'a capella' by a group of young men in Tennessee (25 years ago). It wasn't there, but in its place, something even more beautiful. A young singer who looks barely out of his teens - with a fantastic vocal range that includes a deep bass/baritone, made himself into a 'choir' - an angelic one, you may agree. The hymn, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY includes words about a "sea of glass" around the heavenly throne. Mom would have loved this. Ranging from six to 18 voices, the SAM ROBSON 'choir.' Does this do it for you too? Thanks for sharing, Sam Robson. Celebrated this day at the world's biggest website for musicians, HARMONY CENTRAL in their song-writing folder: www.harmonycentral.com/forums/topic/1940624-great-melody-great-lyric-great-rendition/page/7/#comments
Those Selah chords are so powerful! If you aren’t saved get saved. I need Jesus, you need Jesus, we all need Jesus. He will save us from the righteous wrath.
Dude. That was not only amazing, but it truly touched me heart that I had to raise my hand to God. I had a moment with God because of this arrangement. Thank you for that my friend. I truly appreciate it. I honor the gift you have.
Oh man, what can I even say...feels like a glimpse of the choir of millions that will be singing to Him at the end of all things. What a talent, man, what a talent...
This has been my favorite hymn ever since I was a child. It always brought me comfort and I thought it was simply beautiful. You can imagine my excitement when I saw my favorite acapella singer made a video on it! Love that you're covering hymns, there's so many gorgeous ones out there I feel like don't get the attention they deserve. Keep up the good work!
I second that emotion. Best since a Tennessee men's choir, actually named A CAPELLA did it 20 years ago. Mr. Robson's 'choir' did it even better. Goosebumps. Thanks for sharing, Empty. -- Mark B of the frozen North
This has to be one of the best renditions of this song that I have ever heard! What you do is amazing. You have a God given talent dude!!!! Thank You!!!! I am hooked!
I second that emotion. The brilliant chord modulations -- the way the segue and 'resolve' as you note -- this I imagine is the way a heavenly choir sounds!
Morning @SamRobson. Thank you for creating this beautiful and mesmirising version of a traditional hymn. It is one of my favourite and I love this version that has refreshed my soul. God bless you for sharing your gift with the world
Sam, you did an amazing job! I cried a little because of how beautiful this is. If I may, can I make a suggestion on another acapella video? 10,000 reasons is a beautiful song and I'm sure you can do an amazing job! If I may ask, how long did it take for you to make this? It's flawless!
Thank you for some of the most raw and honest worship songs. It looks like you put your heart in it. God bless you for using your voice for God. It's refreshing.
I truly respect great singers because I quite wish I could become a good singer someday. People with this raw talent usually don't use it for such good as you are doing right now. I give my utmost respect to you.
Praise GOD ... Thank You for sharing this Wonderful Work of Art. It is hard to put feeling into words about your artful rendition. But I will enjoy this Over & Over again. GOD Bless You Always, Carol :)
Sam - Thank you so much for taking the time to arrange, sing/record, and post these incredible videos for us to enjoy. Your Hymns album and videos leave me praising God and teary-eyed! God bless you!
I was hoping you would do this one! My husband and I just bought your Hymns album on Amazon. Loving it!!! Please consider (if you haven't done them - maybe I overlooked them somewhere) "I Come to the Garden" and "Lamb of God" done by Twila Paris and others. I love Micah Stampley's live version (on YT) it alwa6s brings tears flowing down my face and Donnie McClurkin's (he does hymns beautifully). Thank you so much for being a blessing Sam. You're fantastic!
I am always amazed and awed by your vision and voice. I wish I knew how to turn this on as I get ready for work in the morning-- puts you into the right frame of mind. Thank you for your wonderful gift and for You Tube!!
Sam, these hymn arrangements are absolutely incredible. I'm just hoping you're fully on board with the incredible words coming out of your own mouth when you sing them. Regardless of why exactly you sing them, whether for monetary gain, fame, or simply because you are deeply in love with this beautiful King about whom you sing, I rejoice in what you're doing with the talent God gave you, and I personally can't WAIT to do for eternity what you're doing now in these worshipful videos. Keep on, and please PLEASE let these songs ring true in your heart before God. Much love and gratitude, Tim
Just thank you. Your arrangements and recordings are such a gift. I hope your efforts continue to be blessed and your influence grows. I close my eyes and am transported to another place.
SAM te escribo aca pero estoy mirando cada uno de tus videos y la verdad es impresionante lo que haces y el trabajo que realizas dios te bendiga mucho y bendiga tu voz y el talento que tenes hermano ...felicitaciones !!!! siempre esperando mas videos como estos, sinceramente te levanta en el aire al escuchar todo esto .... un abrazo..daniel de argentina
This hymn has been used as a processional in church services for as long as I can remember. (Wish I could put in for mileage allowance.) This adds a whole new dimension to a beautiful piece. Well done, Sam; Well done. God Bless
I'm having one of my Sam Robson days today. Normally I watch the upbeat videos but some days I just want your hymns. Your arrangements are impeccable and move me in ways only you can Sam. God works through you Sam, He speaks in the comments. I am so grateful to be able to praise Him through you Sam. God bless you and keep you safe sir. Now for a zinger..............it's going to stink when you hit puberty.............:0)
I find your hymns very uplifting and calming to my soul. The harmony is outstanding it must take you a very long time to record each hymn. Blessings to you in Jesus who is called the Christ the Son of God!
I think it would be cool to put a number in a corner of each of the singing head frames, to identify its pitch position at the current time, ie the lowest at 1. Your range is insane, and it would be nice to know which head is ridic low vs which one is ridic high,as to maybe glean some aspects of your technique.
+schulmaster it would also elucidate some of the inherent complexity with vocal arrangements this intricate, seeing a 2 and 3 change heads would indicate the voices crossing paths. Anyway, just an idea, that would augment my enjoyment at the very least.
Available as digital download, along with other unreleased hymns: samrobson.bandcamp.com/album/hymns-collection-2014-to-present-day
please what application did you use to achieve such a cappella?
Beautiful! Simply gorgeous! My Dad passed away this morning and this evening I was searching for some hymns to listen to on RUclips. Praise God I found your song and renditions. They brought me great joy and plenty of spirit cleansing tears. Thank you
Please accept my deepest condolences. My grandfather died a little bit after Easter.
I know it's late Sharon but I am praying for you and your dad right now. Blessings~
I am sorry for your loss and hope that time has helped to reduce your grieving.
I see that it's been 5 years since your dad passed away. but you mentioned it was that very morning. that's quite the experience. losing a parent. I pray that his passing from this life opened doors for you to redeem the pain in some small way. God bless you.
You'r truly blessed by our Creator. Thank you for using this present for God's praise.
Sam, I'm not sure what it is going to sound like in heaven when the angels are singing the praises of the Lord, but I think I finally have a glimpse of it. Blessings on you and your music my friend.
Thank you for sharing your God given talent with us all. Playing it now for my precious Daddy as he is in ICU with a broken neck. Crying my eyes out. Could feel the spirit of our Dear Lord here with us❤ You are amazing.
Sam... absolutely a colorful tapestry of harmony with this rendition. You never cease to amaze me bro. Praise God for your gift.
I'm having the odd experience of.. being unusually soft-hearted and extremely easily moved to tears by any kind of human expression of kindness or beauty.. I came to this video and i'm just bawling my eyes out.. it's so beautiful
Reid Moore you made my day. jajaja :D and I understand what you mean. God bless you. :)💖
Reid Moore :
me too!
Remember the Psalmist... in Psalm 42 saying:
"My tears have been my food
day and night,
while they say to me all the day long,
“Where is your God?”
We say: "My God is in me! He became flesh. He died for me. He resurrected. Then He came as the Spirit to dwell in my spirit. And now Christ is making my heart His home...just by faith!"

That voice...those chords?! Holy moly - I LOVE it all!
When I listen to your songs, I just feel at peace. What a gift God has given you, and good grief, that range!
Sam, I thank God for making you an instrument of His peace. To Him be all honor, praise and glory! AMEN!
Dude. That was not only amazing, but it truly touched me heart that I had to raise my hand to God. I had a moment with God because of this arrangement. Thank you for that my friend. I truly appreciate it. I honor the gift you have.
Peter DeMoor what? Why?
Oh man, what can I even say...feels like a glimpse of the choir of millions that will be singing to Him at the end of all things. What a talent, man, what a talent...
Tears, this is so breathtakingly beautiful.
Excellent your arrangements are out of this world. Keep it up.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

WOW!!! I can just close my eyes and drink this in! It speaks my soul to God! Praise God for this work of Praise to God!
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you yet again for sharing your blessing with me. God bless you sir.
Don't know whether your singing or your arranging is more enjoyable and phenomenal--the plan or its execution. Both are truly wonderful!
Those dissonant chords are killing me! They're so beautiful!! Great job man!
This guy coming from the future wow it’s really amazing 👍👍👊

I'm so happy you of all people made a rendition of this Hymn! I love the resolutions. It was the absolute best version of my favorite Hymn:)

Dude your hymn interpretation are moving....This one really touched me.
Beyond words in its reverential beauty clothed in rich harmonies that befit the One whom you so beautifully worship. We can't thank you enough, Sam.
Your voice and your eyes exalt the name of our Father. God bless you, I'll pray for you and your amazing gift. Blessings from Mexico.

Unbelievable talent. I would love to sing that well in just one pitch.
Thank you for some of the most raw and honest worship songs. It looks like you put your heart in it. God bless you for using your voice for God. It's refreshing.
Words fail me. I'm adding this to my Facebook page, Faith and Values, this Sunday. Thank you so much, Sam.

Beautiful...I have been wandering through your UTubes and am consistently impressed with how well you interpret and perform these all time classics!
I truly respect great singers because I quite wish I could become a good singer someday. People with this raw talent usually don't use it for such good as you are doing right now. I give my utmost respect to you.
That was well done! Nothing is better than close harmony resolving. Not to mention the clarity of range is impressive!
Beautiful praise for our God dear brother, thank you for sharing your God-given gift. This is obviously is why the Lord blessed you with it.
Wow. There are no words to express what you are able to ignite deep within us!
I would try to describe this, but words can't describe how amazing this is
This is so beautiful!! Well done Sam.
Praise GOD ... Thank You for sharing this Wonderful Work of Art. It is hard to put feeling into words about your artful rendition. But I will enjoy this Over & Over again. GOD Bless You Always, Carol :)
Wow! Praise the Lord Jesus! God bless you for sharing!!!🙌🏽
What an amazing range of notes you reach.
I love how you keep doing the hymns I grew up with 😭 church of God represent
This is EPIC! That is all.
Sam - Thank you so much for taking the time to arrange, sing/record, and post these incredible videos for us to enjoy. Your Hymns album and videos leave me praising God and teary-eyed! God bless you!
Man this guy's awesome. A thundering bass is the only thing missing.
Lovely. Amazing. I pray you believe and live the awesomeness you sing. WOW
Gorgeous arrangement. There were some truly fabulous chords in there!
I was hoping you would do this one! My husband and I just bought your Hymns album on Amazon. Loving it!!! Please consider (if you haven't done them - maybe I overlooked them somewhere) "I Come to the Garden" and "Lamb of God" done by Twila Paris and others. I love Micah Stampley's live version (on YT) it alwa6s brings tears flowing down my face and Donnie McClurkin's (he does hymns beautifully). Thank you so much for being a blessing Sam. You're fantastic!
Sam, thank you again! I am so blessed by your service to God through your music. God bless!

I feel so blessed watching this.

Now for a zinger..............it's going to stink when you hit puberty.............:0)
As always, Sam, this is magnificent. All praises to God our Lord. I thank Him for you.
Shut in our rooms here in assisted living due to the virus. I just opened the door and let your voice play down the hall here in the assisted living.
I find your hymns very uplifting and calming to my soul. The harmony is outstanding it must take you a very long time to record each hymn. Blessings to you in Jesus who is called the Christ the Son of God!
Thank you for this great song!!! God richly bless your life.
This sends so many chills down my spine! Good job, Sam!
Grateful that you use your talents from God to praise Him! I always look forward to seeing what you're going to do next!
The hair!!!! The singing was dope too ( smile- my favorite hymn).
Sam, TY I am making my way back to God our Father. TY
I love it! It feels very deep and pure...
Excellently and reverently done. Nice!
So beautiful. Thank you Sam.
Great Talent Sam.....Keep up the good work.
wow. the flavor... is just so real
You're very talented! Beautiful rendition and voice.
Beautiful, Sam. Thank you yet again.
Sam, you were in my top five highlights of 2015, so glad I found you, share you with everyone, listen every day. Happy New Year young man!!
Just no words. God bless you. With love from Russia.
good ... so relax to hear this
My chills are INTENSE!
Wow!! So talented, this is such a blessing. Thank you
Great to hear that voice of yours singing this song! One of my favs. Happy New Year, Mr. Robson.

+schulmaster
Cool! Point taken :)
+schulmaster thats not his range. in the lion king video he says he uses a octaver in the comments
+Darko Dropulja but yes, he is awesome
+schulmaster i tried guessing, it's more fun lol
Sam, it was great. Brought me up to the Lord!
Just gorgeous. Thank u. Jana - Texas
