Hymn text by John Kent set to the Welsh tune Ar Hyd Y Nos. Organ and brass setting by John Ferguson. Joshua McClure, Organist.
'Tis the church triumphant singing,
Worthy the Lamb!
Heav'n thro'out with praises ringing,
Worthy the Lamb!
Thrones and pow'rs before Him bending,
Odors sweet with voice ascending
Swell the chorus never ending,
Worthy the Lamb!
Ev'ry kindred, tongue and nation--
Worthy the Lamb!
Join to sing the great salvation;
Worthy the Lamb!
Loud as mighty thunders roaring,
Floods of mighty waters pouring,
Prostrate at his feet adoring,
Worthy the Lamb!
Harps and songs forever sounding
Worthy the Lamb!
Mighty grace o'er sin abounding,
Worthy the Lamb!
By His blood he dearly bought us;
Wand'ring from the fold He sought us;
And to glory safely brought us:
Worthy the Lamb!
Sing with blest anticipation,
Worthy the Lamb!
Thro' the vale of tribulation,
Worthy the Lamb!
Sweetest notes, all notes excelling,
On the theme forever dwelling,
Still untold, tho' ever telling,
Worthy the Lamb!
Performed at "Join To Sing The Great Salvation" a worship service serving as the graduate conducting recital of Michael Devine for the Luther Seminary/St. Olaf College Master of Sacred Music program.

Worthy the Lamb! And that was so glorious! Worthy the Lamb! God, who inhabits The praises of Zion, worthy are You and ‘let the earth be filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea!’ Amen and Amen! How beautiful! How glorious will the singing in heaven be? I can’t imagine- but that was surely a mighty indication! Loud as many waters, united as one, proclaiming, ‘Worthy the Lamb!’ Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! In worshipful adoration! Amen! Amen! Amen! O, come, Lord Jesus! Worthy art Thou 🕊️👑🌹
Thank you, blessed heavenly choir and the man in the organ! 🙏❤️🌹
The music and words tell the story of God's salvation through Jesus Christ for each of us.
Two years down the line, I'm here again. This time slowly reading through the lyrics of this timeless hymn that speaks of God's throne and worship in heaven like very few others do. If worship on earth be so sweet, what then shall it be in heaven? God preserve us to join that celestial choir someday, in Jesus's name. Amen.
I was humbled to have been part of the chorus in this performance.
Thank you, Tom. You did good!
Wow. Just wow!! Bravo 👏
That had to sound And feel amazing!
Probably about as much joy as you could physically hold until you get to join the heavenly choir above. Words. . . So inadequate. But, yes, I can imagine it was a humbling experience.
Glory! 👑
If humans could sing like this, what would heaven be like?this is breath taking..

Amen.
I thought I was the only one that thought that. I truly agree and I am humbled ever time I hear great music like this. I am so moved I can hardly take it.
This is real praise music. Heartwarming.
Beautiful singing and organ accompaniment.
I have never heard this sung or played so beautifully as this... Thank you for sharing. Many Blessings - Lance † ♫♪♫
Any hymn tune of Welsh origin is a blessing! The Welsh have music in their blood (and I'm lucky to be one of them (Jenkins and Evans). Thanks for this offering.
me too : Evans

Thank you, John Ferguson, for that lovely setting that truly revered that great hymn. You built to a beautiful trumpet gently yet strongly supporting the last hymn.
The melody in the Lutheran ELCA hymnal is also Go my Children With My Blessing. I ran a small Lutheran special Ekementary school and on School Sundays that was such a warm loving expression to play as families sang it at the end of our services. It still touches my heart as I recall delivering those words for each of my beloved students.
This Welsh tune carries so much depth to deliver the emotion of the message.
Lutherans since Go My Chikdren With my Blessing as a "sending song" you feel the Love of the Divine as the melody so powerfully delivers it.
I always tear up when I hear this tune regardless the lyrics used. My mom sang this to us as children to words that started out..Sleep my child and peace attend thee all through the night. Very emotional.
have you Welsh ancestry? it is a Welsh lullaby, and that is a famous song you were sung.
my dear mother sang the same to me, and those were the words she sang. when i heard this today i could not move, i did not think, i don't even know if i breathed...i saw her sweet face, amd my tears poured. i lost her a few days after her 51st b'day. i loved that woman, and things such as this are such a bitter sting. my mother had an unbelievable deep and refined alto singing voice. i guess that is one reason i love to hear choirs. l'll always love you mother. rest.
@@revpgesqredux I grew up with this melody in the home, in Wales
@@martinhix6786 That's one beautiful eulogy to her..
So spiritual...! How would it be in the glorious day of the Lord?
Wow!! This is so beautiful and majestically sung and played.

Arranged by John Ferguson=St Olaf College- Beautiful
Love the reharmonization of the last verse. Thanks be to God for the beauty of colorful sound!
Good music, good rendition. I remember when as a child in St Paul's primary school when in a play titled "Children of the bible" I acted , this was the song at the background though with different lyrics. I am nostalgic hearing it.
There are much larger and more expensive pipe organs around this world and thanks to youtube, I've heard my share, but I have never heard one as awesome as this one. And a pipe organ is only made more beautiful by the accompanist, which in this case, is totally, totally awesome. Smooth, smooth, smooth! Listen with headphones and you'll be even more blessed!
It's a Holtkamp - Cleveland, Ohio. Even Albert Schweitzer ( as in co-editor the Widor-Schweitzer editions of the works of J S Bach and missionary to Africa)was amazed at the sound when he visited America.
As an organist for over 20 years, I couldn't agree more. This is clearly what happens when the right hymn meets the right organ and the right organ meets the right organist and choir.
That has to be the sweetest sounding instrument Holtcamp ever produced. Wonderful singing and accompaniment. This is the kind of music I consider to be "praise music." It truly speaks to the heart!
That Holtkamp (a Schlicker rebuild) indeed gives glorious new meaning.
Heard it first several years ago at a Minneapolis national organ convention,
and not over it yet. Of course, only the best would do for St Olaf's John Ferguson!
i certainly have to agree w/ the statement concerning the holtcamp. it is beautiful. the holtcamp in St. George's episcopal, memphis, has many nice stops, but the organ committee shed us of that instrument and brought in a something known as a "flentrop"???
What a wonderful Praise, Glory to God in the highest
Sublime - utterly sublime... A foretaste of worship in that celestial city.
What happy memories I have of this place.
I have done this as an organist and it is truly one of my favorites!
Don’t you enjoy playing it? It is lovely.
Ive been listening to this organ introduction and the hymn continuously for 5 days now..it seems i ve never heard this tune before but i ve heard it several times but this one is different, it seems some Angels descended to sing and perform this hymn tune with them. Glory to God
Very much the same here. I can't stop listening to it... There's something about this rendition that only God can explain... Never heard an interpretation of this strain like this before - organ, choir and congregation synchronize flawlessly - this can only be angelic...
@@petersnell3128THIS is what goes on at St. Olaf College on a fairly regular basis.
This is exquisite! So worshipful...
All through the night....lovely and beautifully done....peace
Beautiful Hymn
Glory to Almighty God
Heavenly sound
wonderful hymn !!!
Sometimes, it's not so much how large the instrument but its balance and tonal harmony!
Beautiful way to start my morning (w/ this song)
The blessing at the start, the awesome prelude on the organ, the choir and organ articulated build up during the verses all of which is a genuine piece of beauty splendour and blessing. God bless you all🙏🏾.
Soothing and beautiful.
Beautiful 💕
I love this and keep coming back to view it again and again. We used the same arrangement sans brass this past All Saints Sunday. Thank you for introducing me to it.
Beautuful. Sometimes beauty has no limit.
My high school orchestra performed on that chancel in around 1987.
Acho este hino um dos mais lindos da igreja cristã.
what a peaceful hymn of truth and believe......
The acoustics of that chapel are magnificent. It was wonderful to sing there.
an old song called all through the night is also sung to this tune
Amadeus Tong Yes, it’s a Welch song. Most here would sing it to their children at night.
Beautiful
From heaven
The previous coments did what is in my thoughts and yours🙏god bless.🙏
lovely
Um solene louvor!
Just amazing
Bendiciones
Simply beautiful! May I ask what church this is, and where it is located? Inquiring minds from Ontario, Canada want to know! :). NOTHING better than a great church choir. Thank you so much!
It's the chapel at St. Olaf College in Minnesota.
'Ar Hyd y Nos' (All through the Night) in Welsh.
Wish it was sung in the language it was written in. Welsh aAr Hyd Yr Nos
these are not a translation of those Welsh lyrics... although being a Welshman, i sympathize with your comment :D
revpgesqredux
😊.
Where can I find the score?
in the hwyl of the Welsh heart.
Tune is Welsh Air and those are not the correct words to they hymn.
😅
Sounds better sung in Welsh to the original words.
This is desperately slow. A triumphant hymn needs a purposeful and positive approach. The tempo needed to be doubled.
Beautiful way to start my morning (w/ this song)
