One of the best tunes!

Harmonies are slightly altered from The Hymnal 1940 (Episcopal) which had the best chordal arrangement... also, the original text was more poetic and reverend than the contemporary "TV English" translation:

"...Thy justice like mountains high, soaring above thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love."

"... we blossom and flourish, like leaves on the tree, then wither and perish; but naught changeth thee."

Thanks for posting this song!

We used to sing this wonderful hymn in morning assemblies at school when I was a child. I still get the same feeling listening to it no; it's a great way to start the day, praising God.

I am a catholic and Love this Hymn. I only wish we would return to using our older hymns. Unfortunately the liberals/progressives won out at the 2nd vatican council and threw the baby out with the bath water.

[churchwhistles]

I thought the organ would be too overpowering, until I heard the even greater power of the singing! Wonderful!

Out of interest whats is with: Methodists, united ECT. What is the difference? All we usually have (British) in our ton are Protestant (church of England) and Catholic.

I must agree in a proper church like my local one with a high wooden ceiling and stone pillars and a pipe organ, there is no beating a processional him such as this. :)

I, too, am United Methodist and I feel the kinship with Episcopals and Anglicans. After the founder of Methodism, was John Wesley. Wesley never left the Anglican church. His intention was to reform it. The new denomination, Methodist Episcopal, was birthed in the American colonies.

I am United Methodist. We are first cousins to Episcopals. I have a lot of respect for my brothers and sisters. I love this hymn!

I'm a Lutheran and we sang this hymn yesterday.

[Zebra902]

Nothing better than a majestic Anglican church with a marvelous pipe organ and top notch organist and choir. This was simply lovely!!!!!  Thank you for posting this.

[joenwayne]

@Zebra902 You are most kind. Thank you for your comments and for viewing.

One thing I love about being a member of the Church of England is this style of hymn on the organ.

One of my favorite pieces of church music. It was not until my faith journey took me to Anglicanism that I first heard this hymn. In the RC church of my youth(1960's and 70's) it was not used by them.

[Cummins45306]

To me there is nothing as moving as hearing a beautiful pipe organ played with a large congregation singing. Makes me understand singing praises for all eternity in "HIS" presence. Saddens me to think our Church has done away with our Organist and Pianist and instead has resorted to using CDs.

[Chesterbarnes1]

@Cummins45306 I absolutely totally agree!
