To those that are debating... this was a happy, happy, happy homegoing celebration. This is a song of jubilation! Hearing Jesus say... Come unto me!!!! Pure joy down in the soul!
Oh, how wonderful....our people are missing so much....when the older people die....libraries of wisdom and culture die also. Have mercy upon us O Lord! We have not taught our people.
Yes he was. It's been close to ten years and he is still missed when the choirs come together because he was a "shonuff sanging" man and lived by what he sung about. My neighbor for over 40 years.
I love this song South Carolina knows that they have some good hymn choirs down there and I listen to this every chance I get and Lord knows when they sing this song Heaven open up and all the angels are rejoicing praise the Lord for our for Ancestor bring these hymns into ours lifes
I love the old Southern Baptist Church! And I'm proud to be one! Sometime when I'm on my way in the morning I just bust out in old hymns! You just don't know what that old singing can do!!
Who ever posted these videos i love you! You don't understand!!! I may be young but I love a good ole hymn it takes you to a place where this commercial gospel can't take you!... Again I say thank you!
If this don’t stir your soul and make your spirit fly to a higher elevation then you need to get a hearing aid. I’m 77 years old and fighting lung cancer. I know I’ll hear music like this I Heaven. I just know it.❤️✝️
I am in just in awe. I have many an opportunity to feel the presence in a South Carolina church. Rest on Pop even though I never met you but what witnessed at this homegoing. Sit down servant and rest a little while.
I love the way the East Coast sing their hymns. So full of Spirit and Joy. We do it pretty good in the gulf coast states {La., Miss., Ala., and Ga.} too. But you guys reach deep down into our culture. THANK YOU!!! May GOD continue to BLESS the African-American Church!!!
this is the "ish" never heard it song like this before and I'm from the South and love me some TRADITIONAL Church/music. Str8 wonderful, beautiful. Listen to this everyday when I get off work.
GOD was there!! He was in this building for whatever purpose or reason he was there!! His presence could be felt in the harmony of the words of the song. I have never felt so uplifted and light and entranced and tranquil and moved and joyous and motivated just to scream and yell and cry out before in my life!!! The voices of the masses were incredible! the blending of the tones, the way every note and word meant something to each other, GOD was truly in the house and he walked down each and every isle and that Deacon truly had a "Home Going Celebration"!!! , cause the Master showed up and he was in the house!!!
This music moves my spirit so!!! It is so sad that we've not taught our future generations to hold onto and revere what is cutlurally ours. It's still not to late!! God bless you for these postings. Be blessed.
No, they're calling to the God of Gods. The eternal LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. JEHOVAH, ELOHIM, EL SHADDAI, ROCK, REDEEMER, SAVIOR, FATHER, CREATOR, MAKER OF SUSTAINER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, KING JESUS.
l found this style is singing by accident.reminds me of Primitive Baptist Singing.Praise God for for helping me to find such B blessed music and joyful singers.
ELEANOR JONES yes, similar to Primitive Baptist with the call and response. I was raised Primitive Baptist and we call them Dr. Watts and there's nothing like them!

Yes indeed i love this song i listen to it everyday my home church is in edgemoor sc red oak ame zion this kind of singing reminds me of the time myself and my grandma Mrs. Alice Mae Davis barber better known as MS.almae would go to revivals from rock hill to richburg chester sc i love it thank u for posting this😀
A song leader chanted / spoke the text line by line before it was sung by the congregation. This is still done in many churches today just not with the same skill that it is done in some places. Look up lining a hymn. You will read about what you are hearing here.
Thank you for this video These are the way the old hymns supposed to be song we are getting away from it God bless you and I hope someone gets his much out of this that's how I have
After reading many of the comments and with my background in English and African American Literature, as a professor, I could not remain quiet any longer. What you are hearing in this video is what is called "lining" a hymn. It is not something that is done to be cute, sad, grand, or different. It is actually a practice that started hundreds of years ago in European churches. It was popular within congregations with not very many literate members or hymn books.
The Welsh people do something similar with the leader reading from the Psalms and making up the tune on the spot as he goes through the text. The congregation will fall in with him and "somehow" anticipate where he's going with the tune. It's incredibly beautiful and moving. I've worshiped with many churches, types, styles, music preferences, N, S, E, W, but this kind of communal a cappella singing touches me the deepest.
I love to the old time singing. Call and response it is all but lost thanks to those southern churches that keep this part of the black culture. No instruments needed.
@BaptistBoi I appreciate your opinion. Thanks. But these old songs goes straight to my heart. They touch my soul. The upbeat songs are good for dancing and running around (entertainment), but they just don't touch me where it matter. Emotionally this type a song takes me higher.
Thank you so much Hymncoir for keeping this music alive. There is nothing, I mean nothing like ushering the spirit in with the hymns of old. I live in Columbia SC and we don't get much of it around here. But my wife is from the Fairfield/ Chester area and every chance I get, we go worship up in that area to get my "fill"! I'm looking forward to going to Weeping Mary Baptist/ White Oak, SC to kick off revival next month. Who is the choir on the right choir stand in this video?
@PatsBooks- i agree this is like when isreal and new breed were in south africa and how the local nationals have a natural harmony that the keyboard and the organ just don't have. those were man made but what we have is GOD made!
@santamonica520174 Honey if you want an upbeat funeral you probably should join a Pentacostal church. This is our roots music, the foundation. However, you are young and believe that 20 years from now you will have an appreciation for it.
I know I’m years late. But you’re right. Even still, I’m 31, Pentecostal and this excites and feeds my soul too. It is upbeat. Some folks just don’t get it.
They was singing that song...great voices!!!!! I hope that was one of his favorite songs though cuz it's kinda sad for a funeral...I like upbeat songs at homegoing celebrations unless it is a favorite of the deceased...Very nice though!!!!!! And just a sidenote: I also attend Union Baptist Church in Virginia Beach, VA and our old church was made with two choir stands (one on each side like this one) with the pulpit in the middle...LOL!!! Just found that lil tidbit to be interesting....LOL!!!
@6:00 Its Not What's On The Outside; Yet Its What's Inside The Prevails. Heart. Faith. Confidence. Youthful Heart; Strong Mind. Only Complete Idiots and The Pure Fool Say: "He a Old Man"
i THINK ALL SERVICES SHOULD BE UPBEAT BECAUSE YOU WANT OT LEAVE A GOOD MEMORY FOR THE LITTLE ONES.. I THINK THE VIEWING SHOULD BE BEFORE THE FUNERAL. THAT WAY IT ENDS ON A HAPPY NOTE..
I'm not trying to make a debate about denominations because we are all in the body of Christ but you don't hear this much in the Pentecostal Church....I do love it in its context and in its place. However nowadays most Homegoing services are more upbeat and spiritual (that is not to say that this isn't) I didn't grow up on this because I was raised in the Holiness Church down south and they jumped and shouted (only in recent years) at most homegoing services and still do.
Yes, especially in the Lowcountry areas of Georgia and South Carolina where it began as enslaved African-Americans adapted Scottish and Welsh Episcopal/Methodist metered hymn singing; and in the Piedmont regions among Primitive Baptist (acapella without musical instruments) congregations.
I know i'm only 13 years old, but, personally funerals should be some what up beat. but in addition to that IN ANY CHURH SERVICE, this new commercialized mess needs to stay outside the church. I don't like it at all. I really perfer the old school country southern gospel. I'm an Old Skool guy. JUST SAYING

The whole nation's needs to hear this. It will shake a nation. God Bless you keep posting and singing.
This is one of the most touching videos I've seen. "Pop" must have been very much loved.
Yes he was. It's been close to ten years and he is still missed when the choirs come together because he was a "shonuff sanging" man and lived by what he sung about. My neighbor for over 40 years.
Unbelievable! Sounds like heaven.
I love this song South Carolina knows that they have some good hymn choirs down there and I listen to this every chance I get and Lord knows when they sing this song Heaven open up and all the angels are rejoicing praise the Lord for our for Ancestor bring these hymns into ours lifes
This is the kind of singing you can feel!
I love the old Southern Baptist Church! And I'm proud to be one! Sometime when I'm on my way in the morning I just bust out in old hymns! You just don't know what that old singing can do!!
The great, ANCESTRAL sound of our African Hebrew ancestors, brought to this land by the enslaved people of God!
Gives me chills
Hauntingly beautiful...you can feel the spirit in this song
I got CHILLS! My God!!!!
Who ever posted these videos i love you! You don't understand!!! I may be young but I love a good ole hymn it takes you to a place where this commercial gospel can't take you!... Again I say thank you!
Swantavia G. Truth! I could listen to this all day.
The truth. AMEN
Ya'al Yahsharal Well said...!
If this don’t stir your soul and make your spirit fly to a higher elevation then you need to get a hearing aid. I’m 77 years old and fighting lung cancer. I know I’ll hear music like this I Heaven. I just know it.❤️✝️
SAY, IT NOWWWWW I KNOW ALL ABOUT THIS AND I'M 40. MY GRANDPARENTS WERE PRIMITIVE BAPTIST
Now this is a Homegoing celebration
I am in just in awe. I have many an opportunity to feel the presence in a South Carolina church. Rest on Pop even though I never met you but what witnessed at this homegoing. Sit down servant and rest a little while.

Beautiful---the church is he lifeblood of African American life.
I remember we sung this in the holiness church and the holy ghost move through the church
GOD was there!! He was in this building for whatever purpose or reason he was there!! His presence could be felt in the harmony of the words of the song.

Ain’t no room for Satan amongst these righteous folk, because they are all on one accord. The same page. Unlike today’s gatherings
This is the Sound of Israel!!! My God in heaven, hear your children. When you close your eyes, you can feel the spiritual connection to Yah.
Powerful!!!
3:20 That's a real church mother right there.
This is the best! Went there twice for a Sunday for a family reunion & has been a joy!
This music moves my spirit so!!! It is so sad that we've not taught our future generations to hold onto and revere what is cutlurally ours. It's still not to late!! God bless you for these postings. Be blessed.
I don't know why I'm crying but I am.
l look at alot of these videos but this I don't look at to often it brings tears of happiness to my soul just hearing them sing from the soul.
Incredible homegoing!!! They sound like they are calling to the GODS of Africa!!! Amazing
No, they're calling to the God of Gods. The eternal LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. JEHOVAH, ELOHIM, EL SHADDAI, ROCK, REDEEMER, SAVIOR, FATHER, CREATOR, MAKER OF SUSTAINER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, KING JESUS.

My heart to the family the song so powerful--- I wish I met them.

Ain't nothing wrong with a sad song.
Glory to God. I hate I had to be born in the contemporary era.
@PatsBooks- i agree this is like when isreal and new breed were in south africa and how the local nationals have a natural harmony that the keyboard and the organ just don't have. those were man made but what we have is GOD made!
WELL DONE!!!!!
The lady who starts fanning the mourner aroung 3:30 is so sweet!

Y'ALL BETTA SANNNNG NOWWWW
POWERFUL!
thanks for sharing
@santamonica520174 Honey if you want an upbeat funeral you probably should join a Pentacostal church. This is our roots music, the foundation. However, you are young and believe that 20 years from now you will have an appreciation for it.
I know I’m years late. But you’re right. Even still, I’m 31, Pentecostal and this excites and feeds my soul too. It is upbeat. Some folks just don’t get it.

AMEN aMEN
Extraordinary
I bet Mr. Isom was in there just patting his foot. Listening at them singing over him!
I concur!
I know how they feel
@6:00 Its Not What's On The Outside; Yet Its What's Inside The Prevails. Heart. Faith. Confidence. Youthful Heart; Strong Mind. Only Complete Idiots and The Pure Fool Say: "He a Old Man"
can i find more songs sang this same way?
@TheElder79 It sure is now he was feeling it too!
i THINK ALL SERVICES SHOULD BE UPBEAT BECAUSE YOU WANT OT LEAVE A GOOD MEMORY FOR THE LITTLE ONES.. I THINK THE VIEWING SHOULD BE BEFORE THE FUNERAL. THAT WAY IT ENDS ON A HAPPY NOTE..

Do any churches still do this type of singing
Jyrus Davis Yes, the Primitive Baptist Churchs still worship like this. I attend a primitive baptist church and wouldn't trade it for anything
Yes, especially in the Lowcountry areas of Georgia and South Carolina where it began as enslaved African-Americans adapted Scottish and Welsh Episcopal/Methodist metered hymn singing; and in the Piedmont regions among Primitive Baptist (acapella without musical instruments) congregations.
Who is it that's doin the calling out?
Why do people fan grieving people? Cool air doesn't really do anything to help does it?
Clemsonshawty I think one's blood pressure goes up, thus making one feel over heated.
Clemsonshawty When in this moment.
I know i'm only 13 years old, but, personally funerals should be some what up beat. but in addition to that IN ANY CHURH SERVICE, this new commercialized mess needs to stay outside the church. I don't like it at all. I really perfer the old school country southern gospel. I'm an Old Skool guy. JUST SAYING
"this IS Ole School..........yungun"
@Clemsonshawty Such a small minded comment. Don't you have anything of value to add/
