- Shall We Gather at the River in 8 films by John Ford
It's well-known that director John Ford loved the hymn "Shall We Gather at the River," but for some reason I couldn't find a compilation online of all his films that use it. So I put this together. This video contains a clip from every other John Ford film (that I know of) that features Shall We Gather at the River. If you find another, please let me know. Featuring:
Tobacco Road (1941)
My Darling Clementine (1946)
When Willie Comes Marching Home (1950)
Wagon Master (1950)
7 Women (1966)
Stagecoach (1939)
The Searchers (1956)
another clip from Tobacco Road (1941) for good measure
3 Godfathers (1948)
Note: Shall We Gather at the River shows up twice in The Searchers (I've only included it once) and what seems like a dozen more times in Tobacco Road. Twice felt like enough.
Thanks again to commenter Kristijan Golubović for pointing out the instance in When Willie Comes Marching Home.
I was searching TH-cam for this hymn because I heard it as a child, and it’s a bright spot in a long, dark span of my life.…
Then I found this compilation! I forgotten how many beautiful expressions of religious faith are in old movies!
Thank you so much for creating this! ❤
I'm a Roman Catholic, but I have always loved this hymn. It's an iconic song from our shared, collective American history which creates images in our minds of simple white New England churches, the pioneers, early midwest and western settlements, etc. It's as cheerful, strong and resolute as those who first sang it over 100 years ago.
Burl Ives sings a great version. B
I think that this is a hymn that all of us Christians in the body of Christ can “gather round.” ❤
(I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and this is one of my most favorite hymns ever.)
...this is part of the soundtrack of my yout'...watching these movies with dad & mom in the 50s & 60s...
It's segment in My Darling Clementine is my favorite part of that fine film.
Thank you for Putting this together Wonderful been sharing it hope you don't mind! God Bless!
There is another moment later in The Searchers, which I believe has the Sons of the Pioneers singing this song around the fireplace, which is quite lovely.
I FROM BRASILI LOVE JHON FORD AND JHON WAYNE. BEAUTIFUL . I have 8 or 9 years films in 1980/82 TV
Nice baritone voice, that Harry Carey, Jr.
He did indeed. I wonder if he had his father in mind as he was singing. Harry Carey Sr died the year before this, and John Ford dedicated the film to his memory.
This is so wonderful!
This hymn is also in Hang 'Em High. I just watched it on Prime video. Great movie.
Thank you!
C'e' uno spirito in molti di questi films.
John Ford magnífico
Beautiful excellent post !
Devo riconoscere che e' una musica.Un classico .
Thanks so much for this! I love it! ❤️❤️
Sam Peckinpah (raised strict Protestant) used it masterfully in the opening of THE WILD BUNCH. The lyric/title telegraphs the bunch reconoitering at the Rio Grande.
It's a good one.
Bravo!!! 👍👍👍
You forgot the last scene of the 3 godfathers.
PS:Anche se,io,non mi sento molto ,ma,indubbiamente,riconosci una ,in questa canzone.Forse xchè' sono un'inguaribile romantico.
Sam Pechinpak l'ha introdotta anche in un peecedente film.Il tanto poco riconosciuto,purtroppo,ajor Dundee>,alias.
Would love to know why he loved this hymn so much.
i love it too but not so much as to have it in 8 films! I guess i might have the Welsh song Myfanwy in more than one (eg Morriston Orpheus choir on youtube). It is in How Green Was My Valley.
@@mizofan I consider How Freen Was My Valley to be the perfect motion picture and I love the Welsh music in it.
E ,anche,in.Altro gran western.
