0 dislikes, and rightly so.

[edumayenti]

what a thrill to listen to these young kids. my heart finds peace as following to the lyrics. Jesus is really what we need!

[thesupernovastar1234]

Oh thou who changest not abide with me <3 :D I love this song so much

[jmbpsg]

[AlexDjumic]

i think the clapping at the end spoils it(not to say the boys shouldnt get it) but fantastic singing and then the clapping i think they should have cut the clapping out

[nekochocolate1]

[theblacklincoln]

WOW!



[hepzebahsu]

Lovely arrangement - thanks for posting these!

[Nonie46]

Is Ed still with Libera? 

[TheChorister51]

@Nonie46 No, he left a year or two back.

[Nonie46]

@TheChorister51 His clear and vibrant voice will be greatly missed!

[2008Sameoldfitup]

Lord of the earth

[poconosful]

with the new technology they should do a duet with the late great Mahalia Jackson

singing this song.....

[yoobinshine]

Oh my goodness Ed!!! Stunning voice!

[mickeytuf]

ED is just such a great talent ~~~~

[greenbriar1000]

When it's my time to pass to the other side I hope the voices beckening me on will be that of these wonderful young artists.

[stevenmhughes]

incredible. they're like angels

[Nonie46]

@stevenmhughes that obligatto by Tom Cully makes the song more meaningful and vibrant!

[mickeytuf]

how can the beauty of their voices not touch the soul of the listener ?

[BalletCava]

Ed's voice is so beautiful! Just so peaceful sounding

[mumomima]

Absolutely fab! I always said when I have a son I want him to be a Soporano.... now I've decided I just want any of these soporanos to be my son!!! :-)

[valentinebrady]

Wow terrific! I feel im in Heaven with the LORD JESUS CHRIST... Thank you so much Boys I LOVE YOU!!! God Bless You All....

[Grandad011]

My wife and I have agreed (a very rare event) that of all Liberas songs this is the most magnificent.

I would rather like this at my funeral even though it may seem an odd thing for an atheist to say, but the singing is so truly stunning.

Thanks chaps, a really great effort.

[MegaTaurus71]

Any have the lyrics of this song?

[valentinebrady]

@MegaTaurus71 Onward Christian's Soldier

[MsHimmelskind]

Herr bleib bei mir....

ist sooo schön

[TheCumbrae]

Simply angelic. God's gifts at work.

[arcnev]

Someone commented on one of these videos I watched that " these boys are the angles that God sent to save us ". I have to say that the more I listen to these clips whoever said that had it right. I have just recently found this group and I can't get enough of them. I have my favorites ( Tom, Josh & Ben) like everyone but they are all great. It's all about the sum of the parts.

[tomkellycartoons]

How poignant that these beautiful young boys sing so beautifully this "end of life" song. Lovely. Just lovely. Thank you.

[jjfid]

Beautiful and touching!

[FridayTN]

Ed's face is so expressive when he sings. The more I watch him, the more I love his solo work.

[rocketfett1]

Everything about these kids is amazing for their age. I don't know if you can appreciate these videos and songs of them more if you're someone who's sang for years, or never sang, but after so many years of rehearsing and competition and concerts in and after school and for fun. I sure am in awe of these guys and all the MANY hours of dedication and training to hone the God given special singing abilities they were blessed with. On my best 3 octive range strong voice day, I wasn't close to them.

[LaughatNAZIs]

tears pour down my cheeks

[makdevilla]

love it !

[behpjh]

This is sound in it's most pure form. Beautiful.

[cworth1569]

where building are they preforming in?

[picardythirds]

@cworth1569 st. peter's in leiden

[tdottchickk]

wow

wow

[ferrerzannetti]

they rule

[midwestbeliever]

Did you notice that the two sets of brothers in the group are paired-up for this hymn (The Cole boys, and Sam with his brother)? I think that gives an extra meaning to the words (abide with me).

[Limpandtotheleft]

When you consider the full lyrics, and the parlous state of the author's health, with his own death imminent, I can see that these words are both remarkable and uplifting for believers.

I have no religious beliefs at all, and can be very cynical. Over two decades in the military I saw many occasions when priests tried to suggest that death in a good cause is glorious. It isn't. Death on a battlefield is nasty, noisy, smelly, and something to be avoided.

That being said, this does take me back.

[Lhieu]

Beautifull :') x

[MickyRaidersFan]

Breath taking, made my hairs stand up on my arms!

I did a little research after watching the FA Cup build up on ITV3 to find out who was singing.

Makes me proud to be an honoury English girl.

[OneirosMidnight]

:D aaaaaaa

[chorister51]

Yes, it is the concert in Leiden.

[maartendas]

Where and when was this recorded? It isn't the concert in Leiden, or is it?

[mykelco]

so much feeling

[SSASMSKSR]

what is this thing fitted on their ears? and not all of them have it?

[RedPanda91]

I think it's only for main soloists or those doing harmonies, so they can hear themselves properly and don't get distracted by the others singing!

[jj120]

no they are secret agents.

[MrAndrewvillafuerte]

hahaha....LOL @ secret agent thingy...

[studentinberlin]

not all of them need this. it helps to dont forget the text and the melody and they sings more louder. it´s easier to sing.

[picardythirds]

those are what one calls "in ear monitors" in stage lingo - they are used to provide the boys with whatever they need - usually it is so that they can hear the accompaniment, themselves and each other better - basically they are fed whatever comes out of the speakers to the audience, which they can't normally hear very well, beingin behind the speakers.

[midwestbeliever]

Thank you for that explanation, picardy. I admit I didn't know what the earpieces were for.

[picardythirds]

you're welcome :)

[rocketfett1]

@midwestbeliever I can attest from personal experience it well and truly SUCKETH having to sing WITHOUT a monitor because of some tech snafu. Wow it really sucks. If that happens and you weren't well rehearsed nad prepared, you were, what's that word? Oh yeah. SCREWED!!!!! :)

[UNDERTAKER730]

utter perfection!!! 5 starts

[trojanblood76]

beautiful arrangement....Ed's voice just is remarkable on this and just very smooth for his age....BRAVO ED!!!

[mizzslade]

i had to sing this at my uncles funeral.

its a lovely hymn

[Chocolateshower]

Ed is cute!

good job!

[DrRangers]

Surely the Iraq and Afghanistan are places that are worse Heinrichdn. Redlander man I understand what your saying to an extent, we need to be careful that our worship to the Lord isn't a performance, however If I was there, I would be not only applauding the faith of these young boys but for the awesome sacrifice of praise they just offered to God. Te people there recieved blessing by that I think in my heart.

God Bless .

[pianogurl23]

luv little Ed, but i think his voice has changed a bit since this video :( still luv him tho!!

[Heinrichdn]

What do you expect? They're in Holland. I can't think of a more godless place.

[redlanderman]

A Hymn to raise one's voice to the Almighty Triune God. And then they destroy it with applause. How sad! No faith, only entertainment.

[redlanderman]

This is a hymn.

[Dracowsk]

I love this song !!!!!!!!!!GREAT JoB ,Ed

[jennaluvspbr]

this is something i naver seen befor on here its fun for me to love the mucis that they sing its cool

[LuminosaMundo]

Thanks for posting this! Sad Michael can no longer sing this, but Ed does it really well!
