I am singing this song in my high school chior, i love this song. It gives me chills every time i sing it in choir i get the chills! This song is amazing i love it
Ill never forget when my highschool choir performed this in Annapolis at the navy bases cathedral the acoustics in there were breathtaking it sounds like everything comes from behind you
This hymn was written by a great hymn writer who had deep faith, but it is still written as a question. Who and what are we when faced with eternity? No matter how deep are faith it is still a plunge into the abyss. No human can compass God.
Isaiah 56:7 United House of Prayer for all People all nations are allowed to worship with us the real Children of Yahweh read Isaiah56:3-7 and Jeremiah12:16-17 it also says let the other nations worship with us also so they be without excuse also read Isaiah60:12 it says for all the other nations that refuse to Do the Most High will and bring us back into our rightful place will be wasted we are to teach not just our people but the nations because Yahweh chose us to be a light to the world psalms150 let everything that has breath praise the Lord even the elements, trees, grass, dirt, even the devil will bow and worship the Power and Glory of our Holy abba Father who sits high in heaven and uses the earth as his footstool and if we dont teach the other nations to worship the most High Yah of Isreal then how will they begin to cleave to Jacob they have to learn and believe in Yah the same way we needed to wake up they are deep sleep to have no fear in Yah or his children youtube channel Uhop matthrews21:13 just like Solomons temple still to this day but worse Christ did not come start his own temple He went where our Father set his name and spared not Isaiah58 but EZRA10 there are many different birds but do they all mate and there are many different Cats and dogs Do a Lion lay down with a Tiger or a Wolf with a Bear? But do they all worship Yah together in the animal world? What im saying is we can not Marry women or men from the other nations Acts 10:10 and Act10:28 Yah our Creater appears to GrandpopPeter to us all call no man unclean then first he tells Peter Eat and call no food unclean but before that Christ told them in mark 7:14 it isnt what goes into the man that defiles the soul its what comes out of you that defiles your soul what you put in will come out but. Good and Evil comes from with in your heart the mind our New commandment is Love and it will fullfil all off the laws,status, commandments ,and ordernancies read 1Corinthians13 on Love and you will see search Uhop its his Kingdom

This song became a part of Primitive Baptist worship services. It was sung at my grandfather's funeral. I was only 12 but had the capacity to be moved, deeply moved by it. I forgot about this celestial and haunting music. It's now going to be a part of my novel in progress.
It sounds much better when sung primitive style - rural baptist or Methodist- it’s attributed to John Wesley but I think he just wrote down the earlier oral,traditional tune down. This is pleasant but for the real McCoy get a Sacred Harp version to listen too - this is just too smooth th-cam.com/video/ctvDa-X6R6g/w-d-xo.html is very real
In answer to some of the questions concerning the genre of this hymn, the words were written in 1763 by Charles Wesley (d. 1788 London, England). The tune "Idumea" was later composed by Ananias Davisson (b. 1780 d. 1857) of Rockingham Co, Virginia, USA. It is written in the shape note style and therefore an Appalachian tune. I have lived in Virginia most of my life and heard this hymn style sung in many churches and by my grandmother and her family.
I was a Tenor 1 in Colorado State University Honor Choir and we sang this song. I still get chills when I listen to the recording. I put a video response of me singing 'Liza Jane, composed by Jay Althouse at Colorado's Solo/Ensemble contest.
This choir to me is beyond amazing...rambunctious is what it is! This is my first time hearing this song and I am over here with watering eyes and clapping my hands for the beautifulness of this peice!!! Words and notes on paper is nothing without voices making it come to life...Millikin University Choir is the word for that definition. The BEST choir I have heard in my life.
We Americans are known for not dealing with death very well. We probably get it from our English ancestors. I think this song perfectly depicts how the average American thinks of death. We question, worry, struggle with faith, or lack there of, but receive some sort of comfort at the end through it.
I wonder if Kristin Donnelly was in the choir at this time. She directs my choir now at Lockport Township High School and has left a huge impact on my life. This is such a beautiful song..
As far as choral interpretations of this old hymn that I have sung all my life in my church and Sacred Harp singings, this is my favorite! Of course, having grown up with the a cappella version, I still prefer its powerful, stark harmonies to this arrangement. Overall, though, thumbs up!
I have been doing an arraignment of this piece (the same one I think) with my youth choir, but today I went to a Sacred Harp convention and we sang it. It was equally chilling but much more personal. Its 47 Bottom, for those who have a copy!
Beautiful! Have sung this many, many times, both with instruments and acapella. In this, the instruments gave the listener a deeper insight to the message. Well done!
As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
gosh, i remember doing the violin duet for the choir back in high school. it was quite nerve wracking without being accompanied by an orchestra. completely wild experience
This song is from the perspective of a person with no assurance whatsoever of their salvation. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Acts 16:31
It's a song taken from the Sacred Harp, some of the earliest sacred music sung in the United States. The tune was written by Ananias Davisson in 1816, but the words were written by Charles Wesley in 1763 (or at least that's what my Sacred Harp book says).
"The tune, written by Ananias Davisson (1780-1857) from Shenandoah County, Virginia, is one of the most haunting and popular Appalachian minor songs in Southern shape-note circles. The lilt of the tune fits so well that [it could have been written] specifically for Charles Wesley's words"... quote from Alliance Music Publications, Inc.
All praise to the Most High GoD 1corinthians14 33:-37 God is not the author of confusion let you women keep silent for it is the law but moving on Brother i love you 1 corinthians 13 love is the greatest Gift given to us from Yah but hate hate to bring the bad news to all isrealite champs read Isaiah60:12 for all of the other nations that dont do what yah say will be destroyed also most importantly but if you read Isaiah3 the last 7 verses in the chapter is talking about you and your women leaving you because you will Die in the streets and your women will be left with the true Soldiers in Christ the chosen ones who endured until the end if you live by the sword you shall die by it thats when Isaiah4 gonna come in effect and fulfilled and they will find true love from 144, be cause you chose to hate people and not evil psalms150 say let everything that has breath praise the lord thats everybody because Ezekiel 36 and Psalms18 Yah is here on earth just chilling watching and waiting
I love the waterfall effect of the fuguey bit and the end of this arrangement, but it all seems just a little bit stilted, like it's a bit too clean and polished and lost the point of Sacred Harp and everyone singing in their own unique voice.
Israel (Israelites -- so-called Negroes scattered earth-wide), Ezekiel 35:14-15 [14] Thus saith the MOST HIGH YAHUAH; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. [15] As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the MOST HIGH YAHUAH.
ISAIAH24 God said he turned the world up side down and made it a waste also Deutoronomy28 tells you the Lord put us in captivity think its 2thessalonians2:11 Yah pours out a spirit of delusion that we should believe a lie and also Isaiah29 God pours out a spirit of deep sleep in us and dumb out or leader because our foreparents crossed him so the answer to your? YAH did it there was no other way they could ever lay a finger on our people with out the Most High Powerful Creator who sit high and looks down low he uses the earth as his footstool the clouds are the dust of his feet and his Love and Mercy indures forever HalleluYah
Does not make me goosebumps. Good singing indeed, but does not nearly convey the spirit/inspiration of ordinary people inging that song at a traditional sacred harp singing (no, i am no hardline sacred harp groupie, but only a listener).
listen buddy, try reading the bible. Idumea is a beautiful sacred harp piece explaning a life without god. but this is a remix of the real sacred harp piece.
I am singing this song in my high school chior, i love this song. It gives me chills every time i sing it in choir i get the chills! This song is amazing i love it
Ill never forget when my highschool choir performed this in Annapolis at the navy bases cathedral the acoustics in there were breathtaking it sounds like everything comes from behind you
I cry every time I hear it, and especially when I sing it.

well said.
shut the hell up ya old geezer
Reminds me of Job 19:25-27
This is the only rendition, and song that can move me. Nothing else can do it, but this
This is the creepiest, yet most beautiful song I've ever heard. It truly is like Judgment Day...
Isaiah 56:7 United House of Prayer for all People all nations are allowed to worship with us the real Children of Yahweh read Isaiah56:3-7 and Jeremiah12:16-17 it also says let the other nations worship with us also so they be without excuse also read Isaiah60:12 it says for all the other nations that refuse to Do the Most High will and bring us back into our rightful place will be wasted we are to teach not just our people but the nations because Yahweh chose us to be a light to the world psalms150 let everything that has breath praise the Lord even the elements, trees, grass, dirt, even the devil will bow and worship the Power and Glory of our Holy abba Father who sits high in heaven and uses the earth as his footstool and if we dont teach the other nations to worship the most High Yah of Isreal then how will they begin to cleave to Jacob they have to learn and believe in Yah the same way we needed to wake up they are deep sleep to have no fear in Yah or his children youtube channel Uhop matthrews21:13 just like Solomons temple still to this day but worse Christ did not come start his own temple He went where our Father set his name and spared not Isaiah58 but EZRA10 there are many different birds but do they all mate and there are many different Cats and dogs Do a Lion lay down with a Tiger or a Wolf with a Bear?

Singing this with my high school choir. Its gonna be so great. So excited
Best version I have heard so far of this piece

This song is traditionally sung acapella in my my church at funerals.( If you can't sing by ear to harmonize may God preserve that person's soul)
Thank you for the background. It's my favorite of the sacred harp style. WOW. I hope the rapture sounds like this. :)
Masterpiece...it gets better and better the more i listen to it. I could play it in a loop, over and over again.
Oh man. I miss singing this song back in high school choir. good times.
I was a Tenor 1 in Colorado State University Honor Choir and we sang this song. I still get chills when I listen to the recording. I put a video response of me singing 'Liza Jane, composed by Jay Althouse at Colorado's Solo/Ensemble contest.
Very good interpretation. I could listen all day.
I'm singing this with the Colorado State University Chorus. I get chills every time we preform it.
I heard this performed by Wright State students the other night, it's such a hauntingly beautiful piece.
This song never fails to force me to my knees. So powerful
We did this in choir. Scenes of the Holy Rapture and the old churchrooms of my state revolved in my head. Damn this is chilling. I love it.
soon as I pressed play, I smelt thickened blood Edom.
This choir to me is beyond amazing...rambunctious is what it is! This is my first time hearing this song and I am over here with watering eyes and clapping my hands for the beautifulness of this peice!!! Words and notes on paper is nothing without voices making it come to life...Millikin University Choir is the word for that definition. The BEST choir I have heard in my life.
We Americans are known for not dealing with death very well. We probably get it from our English ancestors. I think this song perfectly depicts how the average American thinks of death. We question, worry, struggle with faith, or lack there of, but receive some sort of comfort at the end through it.
Puts lamentation in a far more somber light. Magnificent hymn, utterly moving and not without hope.
Newberg Symphonic Choir just sang this song at out fall concert, It put chills down my spine..It was amazing. It is a beautiful song
All hail the mighty Millikin, we are not worthy
CT All-State 2012 FTW! We did a great job with this!
kan ...so you know what your latter end will be ! When the kingdom Is to come....oh Edom. your time is up!
One of my favorite choral pieces. I cried the first time I heard it.
The Men's Choir at TMEA did this yesterday. I was in tears by the end. So beautiful and haunting..
im here because my chorus is singing this. i really love it
hey me
Hey me
SOOOO blessed to go to Millikin...
I wonder if Kristin Donnelly was in the choir at this time. She directs my choir now at Lockport Township High School and has left a huge impact on my life. This is such a beautiful song..
Rick Bjella is a truely great choir director. I had the privilege of having him as my State Honors choir director last year.
As far as choral interpretations of this old hymn that I have sung all my life in my church and Sacred Harp singings, this is my favorite! Of course, having grown up with the a cappella version, I still prefer its powerful, stark harmonies to this arrangement. Overall, though, thumbs up!
Chills. By far one of my favorites now
Rick Bjella is directing our AllState choir this year and we're singing this piece - I'm so excited!
My favorite rendition. Bravo!
My conductor played this recording for our A Capella group and I'm so excited to learn it!!
Sang this under Bjella himself as part of the all Northwest Honor Choir. Such a powerful arrangement and these guys nailed it.
I have been doing an arraignment of this piece (the same one I think) with my youth choir, but today I went to a Sacred Harp convention and we sang it. It was equally chilling but much more personal. Its 47 Bottom, for those who have a copy!
truly, this sounds like the end of the world.
So beautiful, so moving, so spiritual, so haunting. I love this.
I love these harmonies ... reminds me of some of Bobby McFerrins new stuff. I love this interpretation. that was great.
Haha, I'm going to Allstate too! Love this piece and can't wait to sing it with everybody!
I am convinced that there are people who go around and dislike things for fun. There is no way anyone should actually dislike this (in my opinion)
I saw those 3 dislike and I said, "alright, who bribed you, and how much!?"
3 people with broken speakers.
a land of deepest shade, unpierced by human thought, the dreary regions of the dead, where all things are forgot
This is pretty much awesome.
Beautiful! Have sung this many, many times, both with instruments and acapella. In this, the instruments gave the listener a deeper insight to the message. Well done!
i'm singing this with the YSPB on the 18th and it sends chills up my spine singing this, anyway i can get over this??
I think this is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
What a coincidence,my high school choir is singing this! Well,good luck to y'all! :-)
As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

California All State 2012! Heck yes!
Absolutely beautiful! It pierced my heart!
I love singing this song Shape Note. Veddy English but sounds so Appalachian.
This song is from the perspective of a person with no assurance whatsoever of their salvation. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Acts 16:31

I sung this song in my high school choir at contest and we got 3 superior ratings! It is a beautiful song and I love it(:
And am I born to die, to lay my body down? And must my trembling spirit fly unto a world unknown.

i think my chorus director said it was a very early appalachian folk song, though it obviously has some sort of spiritual subject

i love the cacophony portion at the end but the offbeat accenting made me so mad
Stop your arguing. It's not African. It was originally sung by Appalachians.
