[juliojdp]

beautiful



[joerabbit29]

excellent hymn.... very deep reflective opportunity while listening... well sung

[SuperBoltonfan]

sadly many of the choirs in the catholic church do not sing these beautiful hymns anymore. What a loss

[catholicgirl2012]

I love this song since i was little....This song is so awe inspiring.

[stewlm]

I've never been in a church when this hymn was played where the congregation didn't join in wholeheartedly. OK occasionally in the UK the singing is more sporadic, which I put down to the higher proportion of converts in the congregation who haven't been brought up on it. There was certainly no difficulty with the singing at my Dad's funeral some years ago.

[Andypandyownz]

Thank you for posting this song.

as a boy they played it a lot at school.years ago.

it seems to have stuck in me like a nail.

i never forgot it..tysm

DEO GRATIAS. York has always been a special place for me both spiritually and socially. This hymn fills me with the presence of God. Thanks for posting this clip. May the peace of the Lord be with you.

[nirrockz]

It made me cry!!! So touching!!! Thanx a lot for uploading & may God Bless You!!!

[chorister51]

This is in the 'Together in Song" hymn book in Australia and is sung quite often.

[choirboyfromhell1]

Shame this didn't make into the 1982 Hymnal (Episcopal Church USA), as it's one of my favorites and a real tear-jerker. Nice descant!

[midlander07]

My very favourite hymn - so glad it has a place on here. Beautiful.

[joeyboi87]

quite agree, its a wonderful hymn, is this used in the anglican church aswell then or is it mainly used in catholic churches? I know it to be a very catholic hymn??

[romari22]

One of the first hymns I remember learning and at 50 yrs of age, nearly, it is still a favourite.

[Bolveria]

Thank you tvnorth.

[catherine1947]

Thankyou so much for your videos, you have taken me back to my childhood with the wonderful hymns you have posted. Godbless you and keep you safe xx

[rudifuhrer]

Dear TVNORTH,

thank You very much for that video and my favourite hymn of St. Thomas Aquinatas. First I heard that hymn in German. Then - in the seminary - I discovered that it is in Polish. Thank to You I know it also in English.

This is the hymn I pray with trembling heart after the Communion. And though I kow it by heart, every time I pray I feel that my heart is trembling.

Thank You!

Wojtek - a catholic priest from Poland

[benaggreyfynn]

Amen and Amen, and thank you pastor. May God bless you abundantly, too in your ministry and your everyday life. May the Great Holy Spirit of God, be yours to have and to keep in your heart during these pilgrimage years of yours on earth. With the help of The Great Holy Spirit of God and the help of Mother Mary and all the angels and saints of God, May heaven be your final destination someday, when your time is up hear.

Bye for now and God bless.

[benaggreyfynn]

Beautiful video and a great hymn. Oh God You are wondeful and kind. Even when we rebel and offend you, You still love us and provide for us.

You have even given us Your only Son, Jesus to reconcile us to you, thereby opening the great pearly gates for us to enter to be with You in eternity.

Praise and thanks to God forever and ever.

Thank you for sharing this video and thoughts with us. Well done and God bless you.

[prati18]

very blessed hymn, thanx for posting.

[dangerousdan71]

These are the sort of songs that we should be singing at Mass, not all the protestant songs that we often sing. We need good liturgical songs at Mass, like this one!

[gbolagun]

thanks dangerousdan71 for your comments. please, is there a way to get this information through to the authorities in the church. am a nigerian living in ireland. people dont even sing at Mass; they leave singing to the choir. this is not good for the present & next generation of us Catholics. please i will appreciate your contribution. i love God, the Holy Mass, our wonderful Spirit-filled hymns & Sacraments. something should be done. God bless you. Amen!

[yuleshootyoureye]

am in response to you caliming that people in ireland don't sing at mass that is not true.i am a cantor at my church and i always hear the combined voices of the congragtion singing.please do not paint us all with the one brush.i'm also in the choir and the congregation join in with the choir,so don't assume that all irish don't sing that is simply untrue.

[gbolagun]

am in the choir in balbriggan parish. this is not hearsay. am a catholic so i cant speak against the church. what am saying is that congregation dont participate well in singing during Holy Mass. this is true; it is not a discredit to the people but an observation that should be passed on to all of us so that people will see that participating in singing during Mass is a wonderful experience. even responsorial psalms are not chanted on Sundays. i tell you this is troubling to me. we'll talk more

[yuleshootyoureye]

no we shant,i never claimed it was hearsay but by the way you are wording your opinion you are making it sound as if ALL irish people don not join in at mass,which is simply untrue.goodbye

[gbolagun]

we are all catholics & should cherish our faith very much. dont misunderstand me, please. all am saying is a simple observation & not blaming anyone. but being passionate, it will be good to see congregation join in & worship God more in singing. some parishes are projecting songs on screen to achieve this as people dont take hymn books to Mass. we have beautifully inspiring hymns; & people shld be encouraged to know that whoever sings to God prays twice. lets encourage ourselves to do more.

[gusmanj14]

Agreed.

May the Peace of the Lord with with us. Even until the end of time. Amen

[StCopiaz]

It is a known fact that in england and Ireland, churches are empty, however, in South Africa, we converting warehouses into churches, and the congregation sings, and I mean sing. I dont think any church needs cantors to lead or a choir to replace the lacking voices, its the peoples mass, the people must participate in it.

[AntiquityCentury21]

Well I've been to a number of Catholic Churches and my observation is that the singing is pretty muted and done by a few people up front or in the back.

[shippingforecast]

nice sentiments and footage of Eboracum, but sadly a great hymn sung very badly with a truly appaling descant

[ch0okz1]

Yes, where on earth did that descant come from?

[joe010145]

I concur with Chrystalballs.

[zhivago10506]

I have always loved this hymn, it is one of the most sublime religious expressions ever sung

[organisten]

hypocrite - why don't you say the same thing about the last verse here? Here you give praise; with the boys' choir, you condemn it for being too "artsy"!

[zhivago10506]

organisten

let me repeat.. I love this hymn, I love the 2 verses where everyone sings in harmony. The last verse was ruined by the out of sync descant that was unnecessary. It does not need any fancy arrangement please read what shipping forecast had to say above " a great hymn......with a truly appaling descant" I would be much kinder on the singing

such that it sounds like two groups of people singing different hymns..

[organisten]

Let me repeat. Your type - your argument - has destroyed choir after choir. Where I was born nearly EVERY parish used to have choirs; today there isn't one. The reason was your sort of reasoning about 20 years ago. Now there are very few left, so just leave them be. You have pleanty of places you can go to worship as you like it. You are worse than the Taliban that destroyed the Budha statues in Afganistan! Some of LIKE descants, but hey no, show your intollerance and destroy what remains!

[organisten]

I meant some of US like descants. Youtube cuts off what I say. However, it gives me the opportunity of saying more. Live and let live. If you don't like it, don't listen to it - personally I don't like the banality that passes for worship today. Neither is my spirit lifted by simple renditions of a great hymn like this, in quite the same way as it is when lifted by inspired choirs.

[zhivago10506]

I like the first two verses very much... it just a matter of taste, I am not intolerant, I don't like white wine it is too tart and German white too sweet, but I would never begrudge someone their Chardonnay or Gerwutztraminer...

Spiritual music for me is about putting one in a frame of mind... I would listen to Soul Of My Savior with the Salve Regina, Tantum Ergo, and find a lot of peace..

[organisten]

Well then, live and let live. As I said, I have witnessed an entire decade where choirs - established for generations - were destroyed by those who had similar meanings to you (either because they wanted what I would call banal music, or because they just wanted it simple). Choirs were "elitist" and so forth. Yet descants, and especially boys' choirs used to be a way of doing things... now they are RARE. So that being the case, leave those that remain and go enjoy what you like elsewhere.

[coronation2000]

Surely there are two 'lls' in appalling...

[zhivago10506]

yes there are 2 "lls"..thanks
