  • The choir of Westminster Abbey sing the stirring hymn "Praise, my soul, the King of heaven" with words by Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847). The trebles sing the penultimate verse on their own before they sing a soaring descant during the final verse. The pictures are all of Westminster Abbey with the final picture being the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which is situated inside the Abbey's western entrance.

    I awoke this morning to the words of this Hymn going through my mind. Ransomed, Healed, Restored, Forgiven. We can all take comfort from this today. My God has always been there for me and lead me in the right direction, not always the way I wanted to go but He always does what is best for you. Bring your tributes to His feet today. Amen

      It would've been nice if these words penetrates into the British rulership who have done so much evil to other people especially in Nigeria where Britain slaughtered 5 million Biafrans and still killing them till today, the Biafrans they gave their religion but sent Islamic jihadists behind them. If this is not evil what is it? Yet, you meet in this cult every Sunday singing these songs as if heaven is coming down, Ransomed, Healed, Restored, Forgiven. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing.

      Sometimes we ought to just worship, praise and enjoy Father, Son and Holy Ghost and stop fighting. This song is all about Gods glory and nothing about us.. Let's just worship the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords and as Jesus has said - Let the wheat and tares grow together, until His day of harvest and HE will do the separation.
      May Father, Son and Holy Spirit be praised through the words of this song, is my prayer. Amen. ❤.

    To His feet thy tribute bring.
    Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
    Evermore His praises sing:
    Praise Him, praise Him, alleluia!
    Praise the everlasting King.
    Praise Him for His grace and favor
    To our fathers in distress;
    Praise Him still the same as ever,
    Slow to chide, and swift to bless.
    Praise Him, praise Him, alleluia!
    Glorious in His faithfulness.
    Fatherlike He tends and spares us,
    Well our feeble frame He knows;
    In His hands He gently bears us,
    Rescues us from all our foes.
    Praise Him, praise Him, alleluia!
    Widely yet His mercy flows.
    Frail as summer’s flow’r we flourish,
    Blows the wind and it is gone;
    But while mortals rise and perish,
    Our God lives unchanging on.
    Praise Him, praise Him, alleluia!
    Praise the high Eternal One!
    Angels, help us to adore Him,
    Ye behold Him face to face;
    Sun and moon, bow down before Him;
    Dwellers all in time and space,
    Praise Him, praise Him, alleluia!
    Praise with us the God of grace.

    How wonderful is the English cathedral choral tradition of men and boy trebles. The boys are all prodigious musical talents, I understand, who are trained in the Abbey choir school and sing the service almost every day of the week.
    This is something that must always be maintained. We have nothing like it in North America.

    My mum loved this hymn and sang it to me when I was young. From her I learnt the meaning of the word "descant", (eg. here at 2:04) This was surprising now that I look back, we were an orthodox Jewish household! My mum just loved the songs of her childhood.

    While Growing up as a tiny toddler, my Dad played only The Westminster Abbey Choir from England & King's College Choir till at 10 years old than included Centenary Methodist Church Choir of Suva Fiji, till today, though he taught me to be a Sabbath Keeper. He was the only Senior Cambridge Music Student of Queen Victoria School of Fiji from 1947-1952 where their Exam Papers are marked in England. Below are his beliefs in Classical Hymns;
    PART 1:- THE BIBLICAL FACTS OF INSPIRATION OF THE ANNOINTING OF THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS🙏🙏🙏. Dad WAS THE CHOIR CONDUCTOR FOR THE FIJI SCHOOL OF MEDICINE METHODIST CHAPEL CHOIR FROM 1953-1959? WHOM the Late Dr. Manoa Masi stated that Dad taught him Music. This was verified and supported & witnessed by the renowned Methodist Reverend Sotutu in 2008 at Novotel confirming Dr. Masi's [Renowned Methodist Church in SUVA Choir CONDUCTOR] claim that Dad was his Tutor while at FSM and Dad was the only Senior Cambridge Music Student from 1948 to 1952 at QUEEN VICTORIA SCHOOL:-PART 1. By Aca TuiSamoa,
    .
    NOTE:-
    MY Father who was a Dentist & only Senior Cambridge Music & Certificate Graduate Student of Queen Victoria School of Nukuloa Ra, QVS @ Lodoni at RKS & finally at QVS @ Matavatucou till today. Dad Admonished me to Treat the DIVINE INSPIRED NATURE OF ALL PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS 🙏 WITH Respect & Honor just like I would with Holy Bible for the Primary Source of it's Composition is and always be THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO INSPIRED THE AUTHORS & COMPOSERS OF THIS CLASSICAL HYMNS. THE FOLLOWING WISDOMS TO SUBSTANTIATE THE HOLINESS OF THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS ARE AS FOLLOWINGS:-
    [1]. The HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED ALL AUTHORS OF CLASSICAL POEMS THAT WERE TURNED INTO MUSIC AS CLASSICAL HYMNALS.
    [2]. THE HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED ALL COMPOSERS OF ALL PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS.
    [3]. THUS THE LYRICS &: MELODY OR MUSIC WAS INSPIRED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, MEANING BOTH LYRICS &:MELODY/MUSIC ARE THE CREATIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, SO IT IS THE ANNOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON THESE GODLY MEN & WOMEN TO WRITE & COMPOSE EACH &:EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS 🥰❤️ 🙏.
    (a). THEREFORE, WE CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT THESE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS HYMNALS ARE HOLY AS THE HOLY BIBLE.
    (b). This is the REASON whenever one who is stressed with Life's challenges but is humble to listen or sing along will feel and experience the ANNOINTING , COMFORTING, PEACE OR SHALOM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WILL BE HEALED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S COMFORTING & HEALING MIRACLE TO THE BEHOLDER OF EACH &:EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS 🙏.
    [4]. Like The HOLY BIBLE IS INSPIRED, SO AS THESE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS &:HYMNALS ❤️🥰🙏 THUS THE ELECTRO- MAGNETIC HEALING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER'S ARE STILL ALIVE & EXISTING IN THESE CLASSICAL HYMNS. IT WILL REMAIN WITH THEM UNTIL ETERNITY. THAT IS THE KEY & SECRET TO EACH & EVERY CLASSICAL POEMS & HYMNS. THIS HEALING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER'S IN EACH EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS IS THE SOURCE OF MIRACLE TO THE BEHOLDER, SINGER CHOIR & LISTENERS. Just like it does to each individuals who prayerfully reads the HOLY BIBLE, will experience the ANNOINTING COMFORTING PEACE & Presence of The HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER'S of HEALING & inspiration to the reader's life, elevating him/her by teleporting to His Glorious Presence there on the spot or to Heaven as it does to me.
    [4] THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HOLY BIBLE & HOLY PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS IS THE FOLLOWINGS:-
    (a). The HOLY BIBLE is INSPIRED & ANNOINTED, SO YOU HAVE TO PRAY WITH A SANCTIFIED LIFE &: LIFESTYLE,
    (b). While The HOLY PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS Music & Lyrics are INSPIRED &: ANNOINTED, THUS THE SINGER & CHOIR SHOULD HAVE A SANCTIFIED LIFE & LIFESTYLE that will overflow to the Listeners & congregation singing along with the Choir. Thus it is vitally imperative to only Sing The Protestant Churche's Classical Hymns, as it is part of worship to glorify God & be blessed by it. Never allow special items based on Contemporary Gospel Songs to be played or sung by an Individual or groups for the Congregation's Worship, but use the Choir to sing only Protestant Churche's Classical Hymns & Hymnals for they are Holy & Inspired.
    [5]. SINCE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE COMFORTER, HIS CREATIONS IN THIS CASE THE HOLY BIBLE & HOLY CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS have His Abiding Healings & Presence in them and WILL TOUCH THE SINGER/CHOIR WITH Hisv HIS PEACE OR SHALOM & COMFORT, THAT IS THE KEY, SECRET POWER OF HEALING INSPIRATION IN THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS.
    (c). Therefore the humble repenting sinner saved by Grace will feel the ANNOINTING peace or SHALOM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT by LISTENING OR SING ALONG to these THESE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS.
    [5]. ALL THE ATTRIBUTES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT will be experienced by the singer,choir & listeners.
    [6]. The SINGER, CHOIR, Listeners & those who sing along will experience THE DETAILED ATTRIBUTES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN 1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 13 OF THE 9 ASPECTS OF LOVE TO HIS/HER LIFE, THIS IS THE KEY & SECRET TO EXPERIENCING THE HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER'S OF HEALING AND COMFORTS ADDRESSING ALL YOUR BURDENS, NEEDS AND ILLS, THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S HEALINGS IN EACH &:EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS.
    [7]. THE SINGER, CHOIR, LISTENERS, &:SING-ALONGS WILL EXPERIENCE THE FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT as in Galatians chapter 5 verses 21-23.
    THEREFORE ONLY LISTEN & SING ALONG WITH PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS TO FIND PEACE, POWER OF HEALING AND COMFORTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
    MALIE , HALLELUJAH TO JESUS FOR THIS PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS & HYMNALS. ALL GLORY & HONOR TO OUR LORD CREATOR GOD JESUS CHRIST as Stated in the Gospel of John who has died for the penalty of our sins which is DEATH & HAIL OF FIRE OF HELL OF DESTRUCTION IN REVELATION CHAPTER 20 & AFTER THAT IN CHAPTERS 21 & 22 ETERNAL LIFE WILL COMMENCE SINCE ALL EVIL & SINNERS & LUCIFER & HIS FALLEN ANGELS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED FROM EXISTENCE THAT WE WILL NOT REMEMBER THEM ANYMORE FOR CEASE TO EXIST IN THE NEW EARTH FOR IT IS EDEN RESTORED AT REVELATION CHAPTER 21 & 22.
    THEREFORE, ONLY LISTEN & SING ALONG WITH THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS FOR YOUR PERSONAL DEVOTION OR FAMILY WORSHIP OR CHURCH WORSHIP HOURS.
    THE ONLY TIME TO LISTEN TO CONTEMPORARY GOSPEL IS WHEN YOU ARE NOT WORSHIPPING HOURS. SO CONTEMPORARY GOSPEL IS JUST FOR EASY LISTENING WHEN DOING SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF WORSHIP.
    MAY THE HOLY SPIRIT'S HEALINGS BE UPON EACH ONE OF YOU LISTENING TO EVERY CLASSICAL HYMNS 🙏🙏🙏 BLESSED 2023 TO YOU ALL 🥰🙏🙏🙏

    I am a proud Canadian/Italian Roman Catholic, but I do appreciate these Anglican hymns.
    As many people have stated here, I am a supporter of the choir and organ. I never really cared much for the band thing. Not saying there is anything wring with it, I just prefer the organ.
    THis is a beautiful hymn sung very well.

    @christusvincit - i left my church one year ago, I cannot stomach anymore the "guitar and drums" in my church, I missed the solemn hymns of the church, the prayerful tunes, the heavenly sounds of my old church. I'm not an old-fashioned dude, I'm a 56 years old certified rocker and beatle fanatic, but when it comes to church service, I leave the noisy music behind, and worship God in harmony and silence.

    Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;
    to his feet your tribute bring.
    Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
    evermore his praises sing.
    Alleluia, alleluia!
    Praise the everlasting King!
    2 Praise him for his grace and favor
    to his people in distress.
    Praise him, still the same as ever,
    slow to chide, and swift to bless.
    Alleluia, alleluia!
    Glorious in his faithfulness!
    3 Fatherlike he tends and spares us;
    well our feeble frame he knows.
    In his hand he gently bears us,
    rescues us from all our foes.
    Alleluia, alleluia!
    Widely yet his mercy flows!
    4 Angels, help us to adore him;
    you behold him face to face.
    Sun and moon, bow down before him,
    dwellers all in time and space.
    Alleluia, alleluia!
    Praise with us the God of grace!

    Agreed. The United Kingdom, especially England, has such a huge wealth of beautiful church architecture, music and liturgy, and a sense that it is for everyone, not just the 'religious'. You really don't appreciate it until you move abroad.

    There is a scripture that says "make a joyful noise unto the Lord" so I'm thinking that as long as their hearts are singing songs of Praise and Worship to the Lord and they mean it - then its all good!
