I sang this with my church choir back in the 90’s. So beautiful! It became my favorite Psalm-8. I now sing it before seeking Our Lord in the a.m.
This was the first hymn I fell in love with when I just became a believer in 1986. A gentleman at my job handed me a little casette tape with music from his chuch's choir and I must have worn it out listening to it over and over again. The way I began to think about whether there was a God or not was as follows: on a night when my parents came to visit from out of town, my mom and I slept in my bed under a window. Right before I fell asleep, my mother (who was a beliver and had been praying for me ) began to talk about the stars we could see and how it must have been marvelous the way God made all that is in the skies. I began to almost see with my mind's eye what seemed to be the formation of planets and constellations as I fell asleep. From that night I began my search and found Jesus!! Or, shoudl I say, He found me. Praise the Lord I found this song performed so beautifully by this choir, it sounds exactly like the one I heard so many times so many years ago. I believe it was a baptist church in San Antonio TX that was on that long-lost cassette tape. I played it for my husband last night, as I heard it for the first time now, and it brought us both to tears. Thank you Jesus for giving this talent to people, to write such a song and for these beautiful voices to perform it so magnificentrly. God bless you, the director, the pastor of that church, all that attend there. Our God reigns!!!!
Your short testimony brought a smile to my face and tears to my eyes, just as this God-given anthem does every single time. I thank you for sharing your story.
I sang this song in College, way back in 1984. Every time I'm camping and see Stars, I end up thinking of and singing this song. Love it. The beauty of creation just lifts my spirit and makes me want to sing and rejoice.
Can't wait to sing it with the Angels in Glory!
This song never grows old. One of my favorite ever since I joined the choir when I was in gradeschool.
I remember singing this song at ACSI MusiCal in San Jose, in the mid-80’s, with Tom directing us. Great memories.
I just cried. This piece is so beautiful. For the first time ever in my life, I learned how to appreciate christian songs
Blessed are you
Wow same like me... Suddenly..to God be the Glory
Oh goodness. If you liked this that much try out some Bach. That will blow your mind.
This song touches your soul. And there are so many other Christian songs that lifts you to the highest level.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. I cry every time I hear it
I sang this song in choir 30 years ago and loved it so much I did it with my own highschool choir when I became a teacher. Such a powerful song. Fun to sing and to conduct.
I have had the joy of singing this in church choir a few times and it is a most beautiful and moving rendition and expression of Psalm 8! To God be the Glory!
Tom Fettke what a man blessed by God for writing. I remember singing that as a tenor. Was Magical Spirit filled song
One of my favorite songs and have had the honor of singing it many times. This one is well done.
I had to rewind so many times. So beautiful. My tears ..
The BEST choral song for choirs around the world!
Our choir has sung this anthem many times over the years and I never tire of it! I remember learning it just after it's 1979 release, in the early 80's, and performing it at festival, which you see so rarely these days. What an awe-inspiring anthem. It just shows you what can happen when we put to music and sing God's word back to Him!!
My church choir sang this in church a few weeks ago. Love this song.
What a glorious gathering of voices! My heart cries! My heart sings! O Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow!
When I sing this, it wells up within in me like a fountain of music.
Absolutely beautiful and exquisite! Greetings from the UK
This has to be among my top 3 favorite choir anthems of all time. So incredibly beautiful.
Attending a memorial service several years ago, I fell in love with this song. It was performed by a quartet but the message range powerfully in my soul. The words were printed on the obituary which made the experience all the more worshipful. Still today it remains a part of my playlist. Hallelujah!
I had the privilege of singing this with our church in Texas over 30 years ago. It has carried me so many times over the years. The last night before we moved to California to folliw the Lord's leading I stood oitside the choir room listening in tears as they practiced this oiece for yet another performance. We had no idea what was facing us in California but we knew with absolute assurance Who was calling us t9 serve Him here. It has been a journey but one with tremendous blessings and continual peace knowing He is always with us. God's love and faithfulness to His children is truly amazing. We are blessed beyond measure.
Oh me. I cried my eyes out. So beautiful.
We played this at church yesterday! We have a full choir and orchestra and a pipe organ. It sounded amazing! That’s not just my ego, everyone did amazing! My mom said that it sound like heaven. I love this piece!
Our humble choir will be privileged to sing this in our Baptist church tomorrow. This beautiful anthem literally give me goose bumps. I kid you not! Thank You Jesus!
Oh Lord our God little children praise you perfectly....and so would we🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This song never fails to bring me into worship of the Lord, and I must agree that this is the best version I've heard this far.
Beautiful!!!!!
I truly believe I was blessed to hear the angels sing when I was flying back from Guatemala from a mission trip in 2002. It was an answer to a prayer to hear the angels sing due to many professions of faith on our trip. It was a medical mission trip that brought many to Christ with a a simple graphic depiction of the wall of sin separating God and man. Many,often including multi-generations from the same family, prayed to receive Christ. I truly believe I heard amazing, angelic😂 voices singing like no voices I had ever heard before. This song is closest to those voices, even more beautiful and amazing because I can sing this song, also.
Moved to tears~so beautiful and true. Who is this King of glory that he should be mindful of me? Hallelujah! Hallejuah!
It's jesus our king
When I gaze into the night skies and see the work of your fingers
The moon and stars suspended in space
O what is man (O what is man?)
That you are mindful of him?
You have given him a crown of glory and honor
And have made him a little lower than the angels.
You have put him in charge of all creation
The beasts of the field
The birds of the air
The fish of the sea
But what is man (O what is man?)
O what is man that you are mindful of him?
O Lord Our God
The majesty and glory of your name
Transcends the earth
And fills the heavens.
O Lord Our God
Little children praise you perfectly
And so would we
And so would we.
Alleluia
Alleluia
The majesty and glory of your name
Alleluia
Alleluia
The majesty and glory of name
Alleluia
Alleluia
Alleluia!
Alleluia.
Alleluia.
Alleluia.
Alleluia.
Amen! Praise God For His Majesty and Glory!
Thanks for posting verses!
Just heard this on the radio in the car. Pulled it up on utube and literally brought tears to my eyes. It is Majestic.
The Christmas anthem song, All Is Well, did the same thing to me. Blessings
I love love love this piece. Praise God!
this goes straight into my heart. All glory to God. Thank you Tom Fetke
And Linda Lee Johnson.
Sooo beautiful...
Like all Angels also sang with them..
Praise God
The first time I heard this piece which sung beautifully by a choir at a monastery in my hometown. I fell in love with the song and the lyrics.
This is one of my favorite songs from my days as a choir member. My voice won't allow me to sing it anymore, but in my heart I can still sing it at the top of my lungs, with a huge smile that radiates the joy and majesty of His name and many glorious attributes!
I will be singing this piece this coming Sunday with a small choir. It overwhelms me with joy and praise for our marvelous Lord.
It is just beautiful! Praise God for providing the gifts for the composers - David (Psalm 8) and Tom.
Glory! Just what my thirsty soul needed. Thank you so much.
I sing in my church choir in Medford and was in the church choir in Walnut Creek where I was first introduced to this beautiful hymn and to this day I still get choked up towards the very end of the piece. This is my favorite piece of all time
2021 it continues to feed my thirsty soul. How beautiful!
This is one of my favorite songs...so deeply moving. This is the best version that I've heard. Thank you for sharing!
THE HYMN IS JUST BEATIFUL
Very heartwarming piece. Moving indeed. Thank you Tom...
I've sung this with a choir and how hard it is to sing without tears. Magnificent
Same. Very moving lyrics.
The hymn or choral arrangement sounds as if Tom was standing near the Seraphim in a worship experience before the Almighty.
Beautiful, lofty and reflective of Psalms 8.
I was thinking something similar~this composer has surely been in the presence of the Living God. Yes, I believe he has.
Absolutely,
It is grand, majestic and filled with awesome glory to the only One God who reigns.
It’s utter fluff that doesn’t do much.
Tom Fettke had a gift from God. His compositions and arrangements are beautiful and so worship inspiring.
I am a baritone..we sing this piece for God
There is one thing about this anthem that is unique. Even if this is performed by a small choir of about 20 - 25 singers, the anthem's impact is in no way diminished. It still sounds "large" - and this is how a successfully composed anthem should look like.
My favorite anthem at my church
It's been years since I was part of Lake's choir but I still sing this by heart. Such worship!
Goosebumps as soon as the piano starts. 🙏👏
Thus saith the Lord:
Wherefore He saith, "Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light."
Ephesians 5: 14
"...Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world."
John 1: 29
Magnífico, extraordinario, genial. Una obra maestra inspirada en la poesía bíblica.
and thank you Rick Wigginton for your gift to teach...this song taught us at BGBC how to feel and experience God's LOVE!
The church choir sung this when I was growing up in the 80's. Almost 40 years later, it's still one of the most powerful pieces of music I can remember. Love the whole song, but from 2:17 on is pure magic.
Alleluia, Yes, a thousand times…
A bit of heaven to hear this glorious and inspiring anthem!!! I never tire of it ever!!!!
I feel like im listening to angels singing! Praise God for beautiful voices that gives Glory to God!
Yes, just beautiful
Gorgeous, just gorgeous. I'll have this performance with me all day today.
Praise God! Glory to the Lord!
Yes, thank you Father for ears to hear this praise and worship to the Majesty and Glory of Your Holy, Loving and All-Mighty Everlasting Name... How You are loved by us, Your Creation.
To God all the glory. Wonderful performance I cannot stop listening.
SUCH a beautiful piece, sung by incredibly blended voices. Absolutely lovely.
In His Presence.....it is enough.
O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. (PSALM 8)
This song makes us feel in heavenly atmosphere.
Praise God!!!!!!
Such "God-anointed" music composition. I feel so blessed to listen to and ponder the lyrics.
My favorite. I have to contain the tears when I sing it or hear it. I hope someone can do it at my Going Home Celebration.
this song always makes me grateful
what a perfect hymn.
So refreshing....One of my anthem favorites.
Beautiful. My average size choir has sung this anthem. No comparison but the message is the same. I will listen to this many times.
WHAT A BLESSING!!! PRAISE THE LORD!
If Tom Fettke had never composed another piece, this anthem would have been enough. It's been a favorite of mine for years, one of the most powerful pieces I've heard or sung.
I think it is his best!❤️
@@terrynb1922 He wrote the music, not the words. Linda Lee Johnson wrote the words based on Psalm 8.
I've performed this (tenor part) with a pretty decent little church choir, it's a very moving piece. Our choir director would also pick it up at 3:59 and use that as a choral benediction on occasion. I really loved that.
Absolutely beautiful song!
Wow this is so perfect i loved it.. Beautiful
Such a beautiful piece.
Revelation 4 tells us what God centered worship is really like! 🙌 🙏 🌠
I've remembered my choir once sing this when i was 12
Gave me goosebumps! So beautiful! 😍
I really love this song. It really touches me every time I listen to it. It's harmony brings the goosebumps of me. :) Great work!
My children's national honor choir did this. It's a little tough but not as hard as it sounds once you memorize it
Awesome!!!
