This organ was saved. The Christian Science church building at Nutford Place was taken over by the Sylvia Young Theatre School, to expand their training facilities. They had no use for the organ.. Accordingly, they allowed the church to donate the organ, at no cost, to St Michael's Church, Abertillery, where it was installed over the period 2009/2010.
I'm betting that hymn was not played and sung in the US?? I've never heard an American organist play a hymn that well, they usually play with all the stops out and seemingly with the reasoning: "how many verses? Four? Ok, I play four times as loud as possible and without any consideration for the text".
