This hymn has always been special to me since I first learnt it as a Methodist. Quickly became my personal statement of faith - especially verse 4 about my chains falling off. Wished we anglicans would sing the harmony at the end of each verse properly. Its not the same as when Methodists sing it as they have it down to perfection.
Being both Welsh and Baptist, we tend to like those harmonies at the end of verses, so truly do belt out the 'My Chains fell off, my heart was free' with fervour!
I love this old hymn. Great job on the organ. How long have you been playing? I played for my church (piano) for many years. I loved playing duets with the organ in my church! Good times.
That is wonderful. You must love 'And can it Be' as much as I do down here in Adelaide, South Australia where the early Methodists settled in the 1840's.
This hymn has to be kept alive because of it's triumphant message.
@15brougham I agree, but how do you keep song or literature alive when the language becomes archaic? In this age youth want nothing to do with old. That's why all the modern bible translations - to at least get a hearing from the next generation, and maybe also to revuvenate the older generation a bit, no?
Do you have a website....you dont see many organists dress like you and wearing tats....very cool...yup ya cant beat the good old hymns for power and strength in the word.....keep up the great work....buddy
Hey OrganPipe8 is it possible you could send me sheet music for the way you played this song on the first verse, I know we could use that at our church. Please respong Thank You.
Sorry - I do not send anyone music and I was just using a Hymnal for the Hymn and raised the key elevation which I like to do often. Thank you for visiting - GOD Bless †
This tune makes me to always shed tears.May our good God continue to always bless you. May He crown all your years on earth with His awesome glory. This God you have played for will surprise you this year in Jesus name.
awesome hymn..i really love this hymn..please put more songs.we are using all of your plays in our home church,because of my old grandma who can't manage to church already,so we are having our church service here at home..we love to hear you play songs....thank you so much..this is from the PHILIPPINES
i love to hear you play these hymns...you are very talented and an inspiration to a young organist as myself...i really appreciate the video posts...thanks again for all the posts and keep up the good work!...(look forward to more of them :)
Thanks. Many of these were on before but too loud and a bit scratchy. I now have learned how to record the audio better so deleting old one's and making new video's - Enjoy!
This is the most beautiful version I have ever heard. This does this somg justice, I sent this video to my dad. Your pipe organ sounds wonderful.
