Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending - FPC Congregation

[MrMusic1984]

i think hymns are okayed much too fast these days. There's no majesty in them and plus you don't have time to take in the text.

[mlstrong911]

Excellent !!!!

[thetacomaposse]

agreed--the tempo works fine! It makes the verses so joyous and vibrant.

[m0resoysauce]

Why is it nonlegato? Do you want the congregation to sing staccato?

[Keepgreen731]

The tempo is Perfect! Works well with the melody and the words. Well Done! There's nothing more frustrating then singing a long song at such a slow/dragging tempo on a Sunday morning. God Bless!

[byrdsmaniac]

Of the versions of this posted on YouTube, this is the best overall, imo.

[jdconyx]

Well it should be bright and played with a faster tempo. This is a song of rejoicing!

[rmrjg4]

although it is quite a beautiful hymn, playing the Helmsley tune at this frighteningly fast tempo (in the Catholic Church, at least...) is the only way to keep the Mass under a solid 2 hours.

Noting that your comment appears to imply that you are from the roman catholic church, I was wondering if I could discuss with you the difference between the roman catholic church and the reformed faith, could you perhaps tell me how you believe someone may stand right before God?

[bradbavarde]

Beautiful. Loved the playing and the words!

[reallyharried]

Very inspiring rendering of this wonderful hymn. Great tempo!

[Chesterbarnes1]

Is the organ electronic, or pipe. Looks like Allen Electronic? Thanks

[Organsk8er]

Sorry...replied to the wrong person...this is a Rodgers...Allen uses a different system for their "light-up" organs. Also, the design of the console, with the paneling on the sides is very "Rodgers-ish"...lol

[contratromba858]

That is a VERY quick tempo...

[diego4407]

Agree, it's too fast.

[Organsk8er]

Allen has never done lighted drawknobs. Their "Lumitech" system uses rocker tabs with a small LED in them...this is a Rodgers.

[Organsk8er]

Oops...that comment was intended for "Chesterbarnes"...lol...I agree...tempo's pretty quick for me...hymns like this sound so grand with a little slower, more stately tempo. Very accurately played, though...

[Borzoi86]

@contratromba858

Quick tempo? I don't know anything about music but just think how quickly your swelling heart will beat when Jesus returns! Come LORD Jesus!!!

[Cucumber1231]

Huge blessing!!!!! And with the words!! And so many verses! A THOUSAND THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! We'd visit, if not a zillion miles away!! The Lord bless you as you continue to praise Him. We have been so moved and blessed as we listened.
