1. O Christ, our hope, our hearts' desire,/ Redemption's only spring;/ Creator of the world art thou,/ Its Saviour and its King. 2. How vast the mercy and the love/ Which laid our sins on thee,/ And led thee to a cruel death/ To set thy people free. 3. But now the bonds of death are burst,/ The ransom has been paid;/ And thou art on thy Father's throne/ In glorious robes arrayed. 4. O may thy mighty love prevail/ Our sinful souls to spare;/ O May we come before thy throne,/ And find acceptance there! 5. O Christ, be thou our present joy,/ Our future great reward;/ Our only glory may it be/ To glory in the Lord. 6. All praise to thee, ascended Lord;/ All glory ever be/ To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,/ Through all eternity./ Amen.
Just the kind of hymn and singing I need to encourage me to cross into 2014 with confidence and courage as I will be 76 years old in less than two weeks...
treblechoir99 oh ce n'était pas une critique, juste une précision : cet hymne est magnifique, et merveilleusement bien interprété ! Merci à toi pour ce beau partage !
Another great english choir. As we are close to Christmas, we have to remember that Truro Cathedral is where Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols originates

This hymn keeps me moving
brilliant I love Truro-Cathedral
So beautiful music, indeed ! Thanks, and Best Regards, Bob
you're welcome Bob and have you a nice week-end.
Hymn for the Ascension of the Lord, not for Christmas... But it's so great, thank you so much for posting these treasure here !
C'est vrai, vous avez raison. Je trouvais que les mots ''our Hope'' et ''heart desire'' convenaient bien pour l'Avent. Très apprécié de votre visite.

Terrible pronunciation. It's 'OUR' not 'are.' And it's 'crea-TOR' not 'crea-ter.' Honestly.
