- This is the hymn, 'God is Love, Let Heaven Adore Him' written by Timothy Rees (1874 -1939) and set to the Welsh hymn tune BLAENWERN, composed by William Penfro Rowlands (1860-1937). This hymn tune is most commonly used for the hymn, 'Love Divine, All Loves Excelling'.
It was sung at the WW1 Armistice Centenary Service at Westminster Abbey on Sunday 11th November.
Sung by the Choir of Westminster Abbey. The hymn was arranged by James O'Donnell, the Director of Music at the Abbey.

May England return to Jesus
A big Amen from a Nigerian who senses that was the root of England’s greatness. How sad the present generation is so clueless!
@@peterbassey9668 .......and Godless.
May the world return to Jesus
England belongs to all faiths. And the music can belong to all
Amen.
My experience of God's love was in the Wells Cathedral. When this song was sung, I couldn't stop shedding tears of joy. It was because of God's be love that I was there.
My Late Mother loved this Hymn too much I still miss her crispy voice singing to this hymn she is surely at God’s feet
Amen. She surely is as are my late mother and father. Both loved this hymn and sang it at maximum decibel levels in church
The Lord God indeed is the font of warmth, light & love. The scriptures attest to this. What an absolute miracle that 2000 years after the Son of God was mercilessly thrashed and nailed to a cross, to die in shame, that His church is established in the soul of every believer. All those people raising praise were knitted together in the wombs of there mothers , born into the world, and upon public witness the truth of Jesus Christ was made known to them. The presence of Holy God is a majestic blessing in all things throughout creation.
We sang this same English hymn "LOVE DIVINE All Love Excelling" (BLAEWERN) at the Memorial Service for HM Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother in St Paul's Cathedral, London open to all April 2002. The Royals select this favorite hymn lots.
I was on an Easter trip to England from Augusta, GA, and knew this Service was not to be missed. Ironically lucky! The BBC even made us practice the hymns one hour before the service to insure perfection. I am not over it yet!
I can imagine what the experience was like
It's not the hymn you sang, it was the hymn tune Blaewern. I think it is one of the most captivating and meditative hymn tunes ever composed.
Thanks for your concern that an American ANGLICAN organist isn't familiar with the English hymn tune BLAEWERN also. Surprise! We are to explain the above unforgettable thrill all the more! @@adienromarirez2309
I know this tune to Charles Wesley's great Love Divine All Loves Excelling
Love divine all loves excelling
Joy of heaven to earth come down
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling
All Thy faithful mercies crown
Jesus Thou art all compassion
Pure unbounded love Thou art
Visit us with Thy salvation
Enter every trembling heart
Breathe O breathe Thy loving Spirit
Into every troubled breast
Let us all in Thee inherit
Let us find Thy promised rest
Take away the love of sinning
Alpha and Omega be
End of faith as its beginning
Set our hearts at liberty
Come Almighty to deliver
Let us all Thy grace receive
Suddenly return and never
Never more Thy temples leave
Thee we would be always blessing
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above
Pray and praise Thee without ceasing
Glory in Thy perfect love
Finish then Thy new creation
Pure and spotless let us be
Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee
Changed from glory into glory
Till in heaven we take our place
Till we cast our crowns before Thee
Lost in wonder love and praise
These are the lyrics I know! Didn't know about that God is love hymn. Perhaps they only share the melody
God is love,he enfold the whole Earth in one Embrace❤
God is love: then no worries in approaching him while it is still the Day of Grace.
I love this church , the tower is majestic God bless the great britain
You are obviously 🙄 NOT connecting with the messages in the worship song
@@funshoabajingin4344 thats a bit harsh.
@@funshoabajingin4344pharisee!
Wow, never heard this one before. So glad I have now, though. Beautiful lyrics and tune. So sweet.

Thanks you for putting the lyrics in, I love being able to sing along!
A Jesus toda Honra Gloria e Poder pelo Seu Divino Amor! MARANATA!
I am used to the lyrics set to Abbot’s Leigh, but Blaenwaren fits it perfectly.
We must never forget about the sacrifices of our forebears, and their various allies from many other countries.
Nice Hymn
God is love
I’m 😢 tears
I was surprised when i heard this tune like Love Divine All Love Excelling
A rare sight...the queen singing. Love it
Well done!
I like the song, God will helping them and bless church
What a beautiful hymn.
Sin, death and hell shall never triumph forever.
Beautiful!
Why does it have the same rhythm and beat as love divine,all loves excelling.Which of these hymns is older?Meawhile the sound has improved
It's the same hymn tune (Blaenwern). Any texts that use the same metre can work with the tune.
I'm sorry the choir didn't do a descant as the horns started as they did at the Queen's funeral but still beautifully done!
The Only

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling: Charles Wesley. These lyrics are not that!
There is an Elizabethverse
Ever since the end of the Cold War the world has become more and more traditional, conservative and even suppressive. It is as if somebody has flipped a time switch and we have all returned to the pre-1917 world environment. What to do?:)
How uncomfortable Harry looks.
And love dont sound like that.
Himno "universalista" y anticristiano.
How??????
