That was a beautifull trumpet fanfare followed by a great hymn.
I was just thinking the same
What a great hymn of commitment to Christ our Saviour. I remember singing the hymn just once in high school and never got to sing it until 38 years after, when I found it online. I draw immense inspiration meditating on each stanza of the hymn. The weapons of our warfare are indeed mighty through God. He is our strength and fortress. Keep the faith! I should also say that the trumpets added to the sublimity of the hymn.
B+R+E+A+T+H+T+A+K+I+N+G!!!
What a fantastic hymn everything anyone could aspire to
The most beautiful hymn ever created
I love this! It lifts me up and leaves me glad!!
Loved seeing the royal children singing.
God bless and protect each one of us individuals living around the world from East to West North to South thank God and our loving Savior
Jesus Christ
Awesome hymn
Good hymnal.WONDERFUL!
May the soul of her Majesty continue to rest in our Saviour. Amen.
Dad loved the Westminster Abbey Choir & the King's College Choir because he underwent his Senior Cambridge Music Certificate Classes straight from Cambrige, London and his exam paper were sent from Fiji to marked there in Cambridge and sent back to Fiji. Most of the times King's College Choir sing at Westminster
Dad was raised straight after birth by his Uncle, his mother's brother who was a METHODIST Catechist far from his island from 1934-1952, used to remind me, it is in the classical Hymns, The Holy Spirit inspired Holy Sanctified Men & Women to write & compose these Divine Inspired Classical Hymns, and in Singing or listening to them, You meet God while singing it inductively & meditatingly🙏.
While Growing up as a tiny toddler, my Dad played only The Westminster Abbey Choir from England & King's College Choir till at 10 years old than included Centenary Methodist Church Choir of Suva Fiji, till today, though he taught me to be a Sabbath Keeper. He was the only Senior Cambridge Music Student of Queen Victoria School of Fiji from 1947-1952 where their Exam Papers are marked in England. Below are his beliefs in Classical Hymns;
PART 1:- THE BIBLICAL FACTS OF INSPIRATION OF THE ANNOINTING OF THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE'S CLASSICAL HYMNS🙏🙏🙏. Dad WAS THE CHOIR CONDUCTOR FOR THE FIJI SCHOOL OF MEDICINE METHODIST CHAPEL CHOIR FROM 1953-1959? WHOM the Late Dr. Manoa Masi stated that Dad taught him Music. This was verified and supported & witnessed by the renowned Methodist Reverend Sotutu in 2008 at Novotel confirming Dr. Masi's [Renowned Methodist Church in SUVA Choir CONDUCTOR] claim that Dad was his Tutor while at FSM and Dad was the only Senior Cambridge Music Student from 1948 to 1952 at QUEEN VICTORIA SCHOOL:-PART 1. By Aca TuiSamoa,
An admirable accolade; and a wonderful description of a first class 🎶 gentleman.
Thanks
Westminster Abbey has its own choir for all its services. They produce their own recordings. King's College Choir serves the chapel of King's and does not sing at Westminster.
@@cmtwei9605 It used to broadcast on the BBC Overseas radio service.,though. and it was appreciated through out the Commonwealth. I heard it in Canada and New Zealand.
@@mavisemberson8737 I don't doubt the overseas broadcast on the BBC but find it hard to believe King's College Choir would sing at Westminster Abbey often.
This is tremendously wonderful and has the Lord's glory. 🙏🪗🎼
The British do church better than other country!!!
I agree.
Totally agree❤
Paradoxically beautiful truth through the Holy Spirit
Inspirational ❤️
Wonderful Hymn to God's Glory
To God be all glory!!! Magnificent!!! 🙏❤️
Anointed music! 🙏🏻🎼
Beautiful setting,great music but are the hearts tuned into the word of God
The Holy Spirit does His best ... The ball is then in our court
God bless us start and end your day with our ALMIGHTY GOD. THANK you so much po and regards to all of you there in your country. Thanks
it reminded me of school assemblies, it was one of our most sung hymns
Everything about this hymn is just divine and powerful. Westminster Abbey Organ and brass has a way of bringing out the worship behind every hymn that is played and sung in that space.
Its GLORIOUS
I feel as though I am in heaven. Most wonderful.

‘To Be A Pilgrim’…..
The only nice memory I have from attending ‘North Cestrian Grammer School’, Altrincham 1972-1977…. Under the cruelly, sadistic rule of headmaster Peter Moreton and his despicable ‘Henchmen’ teachers. I watched the latest promotional video for this school how it exists today. Needless to say, I attended at the wrong period of time. It’s now like a luxury holiday camp. A far cry from the way it used to be…. 1:15
This is a glorious hymn and I am a DEVOUT ATHEIST, we sang this at school in England a wonderful school founded in 1470 and granted Royal Charter by King Edward VI in 1552.
The music was composed by Rafe Vaughan Williams, another ATHEIST.
RVW was offered a commission to modernize the music of the English Hymnal, he turned it down.
However when the commission was offered to another composer who RVW considered to be incompetent,he offered to do the work for no cost. When asked why he changed his mind he said “If a man finds himself compelled to go to church then at least he should have some good music to listen to”.
Thus he re-wrote many hymn tunes and left us an incomprehensibly beautiful heritage.
Thank you Rafe we can never re-pay you and so we will just listen to your glorious music.
The words are what I remember. "We know we at the end shall life inherit" The melody is English folk music and so is suitable for John Bunyan
Isso é muito lindo
"Who would true valour see,
Let him come hither
One here who'll constant be
Come wind come weather,
Theres no discouragement shall make him once relent
His first avowed intent to be a pilgrim."
Lyrics by John Bunyan.... the author of Pilgrims Progress 🎉
Who was inprisoned by the crown and church who now sing his song... Ironic huh?
Proud to be english like the previous comment no one else does like we do
Princess Beatrice was very upset when her grandmother arrived. She knew she was in declining health. See at 1:30 and at 2:00.
My thoughts also when I first saw this video in April.
Been watching this hymn recording for some tim now and I've only just noticed that Princess Beatrice broke down literally. But you really couldn't blame the Queen. It was who she was; always true to duty even though her health was declining. And you can understand the Princess's reaction when you consider the words of the hymn as well.
Glorious rendition , but keep the DESCANTS coming .And let the boys show off their voices on a b flat ending on the AMEN!
It’s a memorial service so it’s entirely natural to keep it solemn
God save the Queen
Continue to Rest in Peace E II R
I think this is the second english anthem.
What hymn number is this? I just cant find it out and i love this hymn. Mostly because of doctor who.
❤
Poor cousin Beatrice..... She misses her grandfather something fierce.... And yes I am distantly related to the Windsors via the queen mother
Nobody cares of and asked about your relation to the Windsors. I'd be surprised if they cared about your DISTANT relation to them! Word.
Amen 👏 ❤❤❤😅😢
what is that instrument around 2:11?
I see Divine Supernatural Love
Hello high
2:00 Now there's a contemptible lineup....
They played this at Sir Winston Churchill's funeral.
John Bunyan. Inprisoned by the crown and church of England. Now they sing his song... Ironic really.
Princess Beatrice was more emotional than both her uncle then prince Charles and grandmother queen elizabeth
A song written by John Bunyan, who was a nonconformist puritan who would have hated all this pomp and circumstance, who fought in the 1st English civil war against King Charles I and would be spinning in his grave to see this
He put the hymn out there thanks be to the Holy Spirit, and what happens after that only the Spirit knows, as He blows where He will. It is beyond a mere man to say what will happen to a legacy, but let (the immortal soul of) Bunyan at least be content that his words live on. Anyway, the battle of the past was with absolute monarchy, which we got past. Those old wounds are healed ... a further property of the Holy Spirit...
The version sung by Maddy Prior seems true to the spirit.
@ارس ءزص אריאל
Maddy Prior was an original member of Steelye Span.
The hymn in question is a track on the album "Sing Lustily and with Good Courage" it is sung by Maddy Prior and The Carnival Band. Gallery hymns of the 18th and early 19th centuries. They really bang it out in the original spirit of John Bunyan, with violin, curtal, bass, mandolin and tabor.
The total opposite of all those people!.
😅
John Bunyan, the great Non-Conformist, who spent time in jail on account - must be rolling in his grave at this.
too bloody slow in tempo.
Awesome hymn
