You got it, Kathleen. That's how it works. Small miracles like this are all around us - thousands of them. The big miracles are more tricky, apparently. Maybe millions or billions have to want something at the same time? I don't know. Tomorrow we are supposed to pray (again) to bring the Holy Spirit into whatever soul Putin has left. This is Lent and we are to pray for our enemies, as well as those we love. It's hard so that makes it a perfect task for Lent. I don't see any other method working, but I DO have faith in that one.
Morning assembly in my secondary school 1970s. I can still recall singing that hymn and others, albeit 40 years past. Beautiful then, beautiful now You just don't know, at the time, that those songs would become part of your long term wonderful memories. 😊😍💕👩🏾💻👨🏾💻💖
Picture the scene if you will - An 8 year old boy sat in assembly at a Methodist school in Preston Lancashire. The teachers and some of my friends are attempting to sing this wonderful hymn but I am just staring down at the ground. The song is gently flowing along and arrives at the lyric/ melody " AND GIVE US WE PRAY" Something wonderful and I guess spiritual happened inside that little boys head. What was that wonderful sound I just heard!? I am now 49 and this year been offered a publishing deal for my song Over My Head. What an amazing God giving blessing music is👋
I so loved this hymn at school assembly some 55 years ago,, nothings changed and every word is so true.. it still leaves me with the same inner spiritual feeling!!!
We had this at my dad’s funeral. He loved this hymn. It is also appropriate in its lyrics with the end of the day being like the end of our journey on this earth.
One of the most beautiful hymns ever written in both words and music. God bless you for posting it. I've always loved it the from the first time I heard it.
This was the song played at my mother's funeral when I was 7. I don't remember many specific details about this day but I remember everyone singing this.
This was played at the funeral the wonderful Reverend John S. Kromer, who was rector of my home church during my formative years. It's a beautiful hymn, and I am always reminded of him when I hear it.
The choir is The Chapel Choir of Jesus College Cambridge. The choir is seen here singing at Ely Cathedral. My daughter is the blond singer seen singing the opening line, and the conductor is Daniel Hyde who is now Director of Music at King's College Cambridge.
Isn’t life funny… I played this at my Mams funeral 3 years ago and play it most nights on my iPad before I go to sleep… I was travelling down to Stansted Airport last week from my home town of St. Helens when I passed Ely Cathedral on the train and looked across as I’ve been inside it many years ago… I’ll always remember that now knowing it was taken at Ely … Such a beautiful hymn in a beautiful Cathedral.. Thank you for telling me that👍
We sang it as the recessional hymn at my Catholic church today. I needed this message this morning. It has always been a favorite. I took a photo of the song and then, when I got home, wondered if I could find it on TH-cam. Of course ... TH-cam! Absolutely beautiful!
Reminds me of assembly at primary school in England. Makes me so sad at how the world has changed... or perhaps it hasn't, it is just reported more these days. Beautiful hymn 💜
Yes that's right it was one of my favorite hymns when I was little. I have rediscovered it. I have been through many things have come back to a relationship with Jesus through singing some of these old hymns from my heart
Hard to imagine that assemblies did indeed take place every day, with all of us (1000?) getting together for prayers and hymns (of course kids had the right to be excused even then). No kids would ever have admitted to liking singing hymns, I guess; but there were definitely some that we sang with more gusto than others. Like this one. And as we did this in comprehensives in the 70s we were just following in the Muscular Christinaity footsteps that had for many decades prepared pupils at schools of all kinds in Britain for the idea of sacrifice in the name of something bigger and greater than ourselves, transcending beyond what we saw as our humdrum lives. The words never left me, and neither - really - did the approach. So Britain is full of atheists who in many ways act in a more Christlike way than they ever realise. It's OK.
My favorite hymn. We have sung it at weddings and funerals in our family. I love how it takes us through the day into the evening of our days. What a gorgeous version here!
I am not exactly a Christian.. I have more of an open mind in terms that we can learn truths from all religions but as a child I was many times cast as Mary in our Christmas school plays and I absolutely loved to sing songs such as glory to god on the highest! I would say that I am an ever hopeful agnostic; but I love this hymn!
I would have agreed with you for most of my life, until just over a year ago. "Born again" is never a term I would have had for myself, but it DID happen - very tangibly. My story is not untypical. I was overwhelmed by a scary-looking diagnosis, and asked - not to be healed - but to be cleansed of my sins, which (just as the BOOK says) became unbearable all of a sudden. And it really, really happened. Since then I have been showing all the signs that everybody talks about - I read The Bible and kiss the pages when I read what Jesus and St. Paul and James and others wrote or said, I understand things and see things and find there are signs all around us. Yes, maybe I have gone mad, but boy is it ever a wonderful kind of madness - so productive, so meaningful, so connected. I have 500 things to do now (pressing emails included), yet my joy is to write to you instead - just as the wonderful Paraclete would have me do. And - despite the fact that I shall be giving away some of my love to you - I know that I shall have more than I had before by the time I finish writing. That's the miracle. I sure do recommend it, Teresa. I see the Spirit in music - certainly not every piece has it, but some REALLY do. Try "Hand of Fate 1 and 2" from the divinely-inspired movie "Signs" with Mel Gibson. Maybe the music starts of scary (as suits the film), but stick with it - the bit that accompanies the characters realising that they are part of God's great plan in which nothing is by chance has - many people feel - THE SAME EFFECT ON US IN THE AUDIENCE AS WE LISTEN. Just exactly the way the ever-resourceful Spirit operates! Multi-level, innovative, meaningful, forgiving, connecting. "Signs" was made to try and help people get back after 9/11 - of course the Holy Spirit would not miss such a chance, and did not do so...
A most beautiful hymn to start and/or end the day. It encompasses the entire Christian belief. Would love to hear these same performers 11 years later.
A glorious hymn celebrating the greatness, kindness and unfathomable love of our Lord and God, the Maker of the heavens and the earth (Gen 1:1). May the Almighty continue to bless you all in the choral team forever and ever. Amen🙏.
Beautiful! Thank you for posting. Without sounding morbid, I have chosen this hymn for my funeral. It’s a very lovely prayer of praise and hopefulness, as the song title suggests.
The text for this lovely hymn is Jan Struther. She was the author of the novel “Mrs. Miniver” which was made into a movie starring Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon in 1942.
Crockett and Tubbs driving the Daytona Ferrari across Miami... Fondest memories. Yea, i know the song wasn't new back then, but that's the first memory i got from it since i'm not U.S. based.
Lord Of All Hopefulness Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy, Whose trust, ever childlike, no cares could destroy, Be there at our waking, and give us, we pray, Your bliss in our hearts, Lord, At the break of the day. Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith, Whose strong hands were skilled at the plane and the lathe, Be there at our labours and give us, we pray, Your strength in our hearts, Lord, At the noon of the day. Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace, Your hands swift to welcome, Your arms to embrace. Be there at our homing, and give us, we pray, Your love in our hearts, Lord, At the eve of the day. Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm, Whose voice is contentment, whose presence is balm, Be there at our sleeping, and give us, we pray, Your peace in our hearts, Lord, At the end of the day.
All the words of Jesus are eternal and infallible truth. God is the Father of all lawful desires. Marriage belongs to the Father. No one steals from God.
"See you back at the house, Oliver."
A beautifully delivered sacred hymn with uncommon depth of emotional density and I hope more coming because greatness is rare and needed as this is
Well said
Love this beautiful htmm. I sang it as a child 70 years ago. It just popped up to. Thank you God I needed it today.
You got it, Kathleen. That's how it works.
Small miracles like this are all around us - thousands of them.
The big miracles are more tricky, apparently.
Maybe millions or billions have to want something at the same time? I don't know.
Tomorrow we are supposed to pray (again) to bring the Holy Spirit into whatever soul Putin has left.
This is Lent and we are to pray for our enemies, as well as those we love.
It's hard so that makes it a perfect task for Lent.
I don't see any other method working, but I DO have faith in that one.
My favourite hymn of all time. Also my fathers. Sung at my wedding, and my Dad's funeral. Beautiful.
Mine, too. What a moving and beautiful melody.
Yes, sung at my wedding and also my parents' funerals. Just the most beautiful hymn.
This is my favourite hymn...
Every family wedding and funeral .
It never fails to give me a lump in my throat 😢❤
This was my favourite hymn in school!! It brings such warm childhood memories. Thank You Lord and may your Name be praised always. Amen!
Love this hymn. It makes me cry
In my opinion the most beautiful hymn ever written. Always lifts my soul when I’m down.
Absolutely love this hymn, reminds me of the days of growing up as a child, with no cares and worries.
Morning assembly in my secondary school 1970s. I can still recall singing that hymn and others, albeit 40 years past. Beautiful then, beautiful now You just don't know, at the time, that those songs would become part of your long term wonderful memories. 😊😍💕👩🏾💻👨🏾💻💖
Your words are so very true. Same era for me.

YOU SAID IT! That's the ever-inventive, ever-inspiring, ever-active Holy Spirit...
Lift up your voice to the Lord in praise…❤
I so loved this hymn at school assembly some 55 years ago,, nothings changed and every word is so true.. it still leaves me with the same inner spiritual feeling!!!
Couldn't express it any better
We had this at my dad’s funeral. He loved this hymn. It is also appropriate in its lyrics with the end of the day being like the end of our journey on this earth.
RIP to your dad. He had great in choice in hymns. I’d love to be seen home to this.
One of the most beautiful hymns ever written in both words and music. God bless you for posting it. I've always loved it the from the first time I heard it.
because you speak all languages?
Yes a beautiful hymn. I recall it fondly from secondary school.
😊😊😍🤗
Amazing sad for funerals
Absolutely beautiful. A hymn that stays with you from waking to sleeping.
Mary Foster is ok I do like it but rap songz r better.
@@fumieb2763 You've got to be joking. That's so pathetic, I feel sorry for you.
This has given me so much peace since the passing of my father 5 weeks ago
God bless you.
We sang this song at mass today. My Irish side was joyful with this tune.
This was the song played at my mother's funeral when I was 7. I don't remember many specific details about this day but I remember everyone singing this.
Sad that you lost your Mom at age 7.
I hope all is well today.
This was played at the funeral the wonderful Reverend John S. Kromer, who was rector of my home church during my formative years. It's a beautiful hymn, and I am always reminded of him when I hear it.

So pleased, Brian, thank you for telling me. I'll pass your message on. And I've just passed S Airport!
We sang it as the recessional hymn at my Catholic church today. I needed this message this morning. It has always been a favorite. I took a photo of the song and then, when I got home, wondered if I could find it on TH-cam. Of course ... TH-cam! Absolutely beautiful!
What a beautiful, harmonious rendition. We used to sing this at our final assembly at the end of every school year (in the 1960s).
erika7674 q1b
As an avowed Catholic, I am using this for Daytime Prayer today, 29 November 2017, as part of the LOTH
Reminds me of assembly at primary school in England. Makes me so sad at how the world has changed... or perhaps it hasn't, it is just reported more these days.
Beautiful hymn 💜
Marje - I use to love singing this in the school Choir. ❤️
Yes that's right it was one of my favorite hymns when I was little. I have rediscovered it. I have been through many things have come back to a relationship with Jesus through singing some of these old hymns from my heart
i don't think it's changed, our school still has prayer assembly, and a choir. A lot of schools in the Uk are still christian schools
I feel the same. Which school did you go to?
Hard to imagine that assemblies did indeed take place every day, with all of us (1000?) getting together for prayers and hymns (of course kids had the right to be excused even then).

It's OK.
It also reminds me of primary school , nostalgia has me . Glory to Jesus .
My favorite hymn. We have sung it at weddings and funerals in our family. I love how it takes us through the day into the evening of our days. What a gorgeous version here!
Yes, same with us, wedding and family funerals. Simply beautiful.
My uncle recently got married and this was the last hymn sung, the whole day was so beautiful.
My second favourite hymn! In Christ Alone is my favourite hymn. Praise be to God the Heavenly Father.
May the peace of the lord be onto you:)

Beautiful hymn and performance! Thank you! 👍👏
Beautiful 🙏🏻 🎼 Reminds me of my primary school days. Thank you Lord that I was in a school that sang to you in assembly 🙏🏻. Praise God 🙏🏻
A most beautiful hymn to start and/or end the day. It encompasses the entire Christian belief. Would love to hear these same performers 11 years later.
This hymn keeps me going all day, every day.
I remember this from my childhood my mother used to sing it as she worked.
A hymn of contemplation, hope! Thank you LORD JESUS CHRIST for our eternal hope! Very beautifully rendered. Thanks. 💓🎉💓
A glorious hymn celebrating the greatness, kindness and unfathomable love of our Lord and God, the Maker of the heavens and the earth (Gen 1:1). May the Almighty continue to bless you all in the choral team forever and ever. Amen🙏.
This is my prayer before work today. So beautiful, and the oboe adds a nice touch. God bless us all today.
Beautiful, I listen to this often. God bless you for this version.
what a pleasant arrangement to hear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise God
One of my favorite hymns among those we sang at the morning school assembly when I was at school in Oxford in the early 70s
mousehitscat ooh which school?
Oxord School in Glanville Road, Oxord, back in the mid-70s
what a hymn i want it sung at the end of my days
Merci Seigneur pour le réveil de tous ce matin.
Spiritually and physically motivating! To God be the glory!
From a taditional Irish tune called Slane. The clarinetist is also mixing it in with another irish tune 'She moved through the fair'
That's a good ear!
I miss singing in the choir but God knows it all. I have prayed for this day through this song. Thanks for uploading.
Praise the Lord Almighty for this beautiful song of worship!🙏 You're the all powerful one and we love you.
Absolutely exquisite!
I sang this beautiful hymn as a lad. Fond memories.
Beautiful! Thank you for posting. Without sounding morbid, I have chosen this hymn for my funeral. It’s a very lovely prayer of praise and hopefulness, as the song title suggests.
Beautiful Hymn, My husband and I sang this in our Church Choir.
Love this hymn, the arrangement, and the choir. Absolutely beautiful.
one of my favorite hymns - very beautiful
I am an atheist, but this is such a great hymn
This is so beautiful. I heard it as Mass today. Just what I needed to hear.
The text for this lovely hymn is Jan Struther. She was the author of the novel “Mrs. Miniver” which was made into a movie starring Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon in 1942.
I really love this hymn.
The second verse is straight 🔥
So beautiful...visually and to listen to!
Beautiful hymn one of my all time favorites.
Here it is sung A1 to me
It seems that Anglican Church loves this hymn much. I love it much too.
R I P Christine Ann carter who sadly passed away 12/9/18 after a long battle with cancer gone but definitely not forgotten xxx
We used this in our on line worship service. It is the most beautiful recording of Slane I've ever heard. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Absolutely Beautiful!
Beautiful Hymn

Carmen Rush - English hymn, created by a female agnostic.
It was written by Jan Struther (author of the novel Mrs Miniver)
Words by Jan Struther(she wrote" Mrs. Miniver") to an amazing Irish folk melody:SLANE
I never heard that hymn before. I recognize the melody as "Be Thou My Vision", which I have also only heard on YT
We chose this for our wedding - a timeless hymn.
Reminds me of Secondary school in Freetown and Assembly at Boarding School in England
Excellent
So beautiful and peaceful!
I like it with that clarinet? Great job choir!
This is the most beautiful breeding of my favourite hymn.

Love this song.
Simply beautiful...
So beautiful ❤️
Beautiful hymn
thank you mr peter anderson
Beautiful :-)
I like the interludes of she moved through the faire
The Oboe intro sounds like "Belfast child." This is the original version of the hymn and I prefer it to Be thou my vision.
