When I feel like I am drifting apart from God, it just takes one of these hymns sung in the Anglican tradition and I am dragged back willingly to God’s loving Grace.
I found this video on Good Friday of 2020, when everything was shut down here in the States. This song had been a staple of the Good Friday service at my church so I searched RUclips and found this. I still find myself returning to view it each year now. A truly wonderful performance and such a time capsule of those nervous early days of the pandemic.
I ararted my Palm Sunday listening to choristers under Ross Cobb's able direction singing a beautiful and well know hymn in the sacred setting of St Andrew's cathedral. My heart-felt thanks to them.
Wonderful that the Cathedral had such a saving idea... though there is no doubt as to the original source of that idea! Love the way the text presents the hymn as that of Crossman and John Ireland - since their activity was separated by several centuries! Mr Ireland (whose life did not run smoothly in any way) took just a few minutes to write the tune... On the back of a restaurant menu! And so was perfection achieved and God's purpose attained through the beloved, enigmatic, innovative and visibly active Holy Spirit! The Paraclete's many and diiverse works all serve the enhancement of Discipleship, and spotting and proclaiming them is my joy and purpose since being Born Again on 28-2-21...
Absolutely wonderful! Words can't describe how beautiful the words and meaning are from this anthem. Who is the ORGANIST< and what the name brand of the ORGAN?
Our organist in this recording is Sam, our senior organ scholar, and our Organ is a Thomas Hill instrument, built in 1867, and rebuilt in 1998 by Orgues Letourneau of Canada.
Beautifully sung ,with such great expression, thank you from England
A beautiful performance of a moving hymn. Thank you for singing all the verses.

Erm, different Choirmaster I think! But welcome back!
