This has got to be the most spectacular arrangement of this hymn I have ever heard. The joy and triumph are absolutely endless.

Such a powerful song. My grandmother who didnt speak English had learned this song in Lebanon. She would sing the first verse as that's all she remembered. She was a strong, proud woman who had overcome many difficulties including a genocide at the hand of turks, the enemies of Christianity.

What a courageous kind of tone color and so high spirited singing! Like a war cry burning the hearts of the soldiers! Bravissimo!!! TGBTG!!!

I find this particular rendition of this traditional, triumphant hymn extremely uplifting and very well presented.

The rendition of this fine,stirring hymn is absolutely wonderful. I wish that I could find other traditional old, but much treasured hymns played and sung in such a stirring and inspiring way.May God bless the people who made “Onward Christian Soldiers” so powerful for us all.Anthony Green

Important question do you think it is too early to listen to advent music

It's never too early for that - and, if you can wait a short while, we'll soon be uploading another "new" Advent Carol Service for your enjoyment.
