I can see in my mind's eye, saying this prayer at Thanksgiving. My family are mostly secular with a couple of atheists, sad to admit. Most are in deep need of the Savior and I pray for their salvation in tears. They already think I'm a fanatic just for believing in Jesus and the Bible! My how times have changed. We all used to go to Sunday School and church every Sunday many years ago. I could never give up my Jesus for anything. So, the GVB has always poured love and grace into me through their music, no matter how many changes in singers Bill does. Thank you very much Bill and Gloria. I'm nearly 75 and standing on the promises of God for my soul.
Oh, loving Father by your Grace We gather here to seek Your face And thank You for this family For hearth and home and loyalty Our hearts are full with gratitude For work and rest and daily food For neighbors kind and faithful friends The gift of which our lives depend We even thank You for the pain It's through the losses that we gain A clear perspective, better view Of our dependency on You We hold all things with open hand: Our homes, our lives, and this great land Our gifts, possessions and our days We lift to You in grateful praise Through good and bad we've learned to trust That You are loving, wise and just So now with childlike hearts, we raise Our hymn of deepest, highest praise Yes, now with trusting hearts we raise Our hymn of deepest, highest praise! Our hymn of deepest, highest praise!
Let me explain again about the writing of Hymn of Praise. It was written on Thanksgiving Day of 2014 by my parents, Charles & Chrystal Ahlemann. My mother penned the first two verses in the morning before leaving Des Moines, IA to come see me in Kansas City, MO. The third verse was written in the afternoon as my parents were on their way back to Des Moines. It was written in Flemish. The fourth verse was written in the evening in Latin by my mother and the fifth verse was also written in Latin by my father. My mother translated the three foreign language verses into English and penned them with her caligraphy pen which she often does when writing her poetry. The handwriting on the screen is clearly my mother's.
The poem Hymn of Praise was written by my mother with her caligraphy pen which she often used when she wrote poetry. That is what you see in the background. It is clearly my mother's handwriting. The third verse was written in Latin by my mother and the fourth verse was also written in Latin by my father. The first two verses were written in English. My parents had been to visit with me earlier Thanksgiving Day of 2014 and they wrote this song in the evening after returning home.
This Song composed by Felix Bartholdly Mendelsson during his life (1809 -·1847) it was pre-civil war. It brings highest praise to mind, rather than all the civil unrest of the day. Our nation is found on Church and family, our hymn of highest praise.
I wrote Hymn of Praise following the Catholic Bishop's Council meeting in Kansas City in July of 2014. On of the people present at that Council was Bishop Emeritus Ferguson who had served in Columbus OH and he was dearly beloved by Mother Angelica. He was a great encouragement to me and helped me find both physical and emotional healing.
I like this performance of Hymn of Praise by the Gaither Vocal Band. It was recorded at the Gaither Recording Studios in Durham, NC. My parents wrote Hymn of Praise on Thanksgiving evening in 2014 after spending the day with me. This was the first Thanksgiving after my mother came to know the Lord.
Great worship, thank you brothers! I am used to Gaither Vocal Band songs, each song reaches my soul in different manner, there is always something that brings me in the presence of the Lord. May God bless you and your families and strength you each time to worship the good Lord! Greetings from Luanda, Angola.
I like this performance of Hymn of Praise by the Gaither Vocal Band. It was recorded at Gaither Recording studios in Durham, NC in May of 2020. Hymn of Praise was written by my parents. My mother wrote the words and my father wrote the tune for Thanksgiving of 2014.
This song just reminded me of gratitude. Sometimes life ties us down and all we see is impossibilities of a future and regrets of the past. This song reminded me to always find a reason to be greatful even though sometimes I have to look a closer
This is a deep prayer during this world pandemic. ' We even thank him for the pain,' it's through the losses that we gain a, clear perspective and a better view of our dependency on him.'
Oh, loving father, by your grace We gather here to seek your face, And thank you for this family, For heart, and home, and loyalty. Our hearts are full of gratitude For work and rest and daily food For neighbors kind and faithful friends, The gifts on which our lives depend. We even thank you for the pain Its through the losses that we gain A clear perspective, better view Of our dependency on you. We hold all things with open hand: Our homes, our lives and this great land, Our gifts, possessions, and our days We lift to you in grateful praise. Through good and bad, we've learned to trust That you are loving, wise and just, So now with childlike hearts we raise Our hymn of deepest, highest praise! Yes, now with trusting hearts we raise Our hymn of deepest, highest praise! Our hymn of deepest, highest praise!
This song is just so moving.... This is the best project that the GVB has put out!! Love the combination of voices and personalities. Harmonies are heart stirring.
The last 2 lines of the second verse of Hymn of Praise were written in Flemish. And the third verse was written in Latin. The poem was written entirely by my mother and she did her own translation into English. My father composed the tune.
This is what true gaithers singing...that heavenly music that touch the soul and lift the Heavenly Father above all...All glory to Him on High...Thank you Gaithers ...
This is our family's current favorite hymn! We watch it often and my little ones asked for it specifically at devotions last night. THANK YOU so much for this.
Just watching this video I could see the joy the band have in praising God and I wonder what it will be like in heaven to hear and see so many more praising God. What an awesome thought.
To clarify about the writing of Hymn of Praise I wrote the chorus and final verse in 2014. My parents wrote the other verses after their repentance in 2016.
Beautiful, powerful & truthful. There's nothing like a grateful heart even in tough times. Our Heavenly Father has always taken very good care of us. Thank You, Abba. 🙏
Okay. Reggie Smith your talent from the Lord is astounding. Beautiful. This is what I have always expected from the Gaither Vocal Band. Thank you. I still miss the others but this is amazingly beautiful. My heart is filled with praise to the Lord. (White House, Tennessee) Judy
God Bless These Men! The Beauty of This Song Just Filled My Heart & This Man Singing Lead Has An Amazing Voice As Does The Whole Group! Their Voices Are Exquisite! This Song Touched My Soul, Truly! Thank You, All!
Praises to our Gracious and all mighty God. This glorious song of praise to Him brought tears of thankfulness as I listened to the beautiful lyrics. The voices are sublime. I am so grateful for the Gaithers music and they are always a part of my daily time with God.
I was mistaken about how many verses Hymn of Praise has. My mother wrote the words down as she frequently did with her caligraphy pen. The first two verses were written in English by my mother on Thanksgiving morning. The third verse was written in Flemish as my parents left after visiting me and returned home. The fourth and fifth verses were written later in the evening. My mother wrote the fourth verse and my father wrote the fifth verse. The foreign languages were all translated by my mother. This poem was written on Thanksgiving of 2014.
No coment. .how beautifull heaven must be if in the earth we are enjoying this type of music. .God bless one more time GVB family ...my desire is to sing with you in heaven.
@@stevebilliter If they are lip syncing they are doing it to themselves, just as any artist does in a music video. It doesn't matter just close your eyes and enjoy the music.
I will ALWAYS LOVE The Gaithers! Beautiful, calming, worshipful, uplifting, godly music that draws you into the presence of Almighty God - no distractions. Thank you!
