Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer

[mattnbin]

This is a great hymn. Only it in not sung by the Choir of the Morriston Tabernacle Swansea Wales. It was sung at the Morriston Tabernacle,however it was sung by many people attending the SONGS OF PRAISE event there in around 2004. You can see and hear the original if you cut and paste this into youtube...

Welsh Chapel Choir - Guide me O thou Great Redeemer - live Nov 2004

It can be heard in stereo at that address.

Songs of Praise should be credited for the sound track.

Is this actually written by a guy called William Williams? If so, WIN!

[gbaune]

Who can tell me more or send me a choir version of this hymn ? In Germany it is not availible, incredible !

[maidofneworleans]

This was one of the Hymns at my Mum's funeral the other being Jerusalem , had no problems with the choice from either the vicar or the crematorium .

[TonyDane2011]

This is my granddad's funeral hymn he only passed away yesterday and this reminds me of him so much R.I.P Granddad missed and loved xx

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Tonight (March 13), I attended a Lent service at a local Lutheran Church. We sang this as the closing hymn. It is #618 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.

Love this hymn. We had it an my Granddad's funeral. The Vicar tried to stop us because he thought it wasn't suitable for a funeral, but we insisted.

This is a lovely version - gorgeous Welsh accents! (I'm English so they seem really exotic to me0

@YoodellyHoo I love this hymn too! It is actually very suitable for a funeral service. It was the closing hymn to Princess Diana's funeral service at Westminster Abbey.

[B21983]

@YoodellyHoo It was also sung at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

[3tangle3]

@B21983 fuck the queen mother, spent millions on betting...this song is for real people

[CountArtha]

@YoodellyHoo It's perfect for a funeral. I want it played at mine. "Bread of Heaven/Feed me now and evermore."

[3tangle3]

@YoodellyHoo lol at welsh beung exotic.....last remnant culture of the indigeneous british culture of old....glad you enjoyed the hymn, there a welcome to the valleys anytime fach

[goodchappy]

Thank goodness this is the correct Welsh version, the Americans ALWAYS sing the "Feed me now and evermore" line wrong!

[goodchappy]

@goodchappy I mean the tune is sung wrong by the Americans but also the words are not right!

[capergal68]

This is my favorite hymn and has so much spirit and what a beautiful choir.

[MrPaulVanRavenswaay]

pretty good singing, great organ! needs more male voices!!!!!!! BASS!

[weverman2]

there hasn't been a single time in my life that i heard this song without shedding a tear or two. It's top on my list of all time favorites, I hope they will play it at my funeral.

[watchingtelly]

@weverman2 Me too Weverman! We had this hymn at my wedding, my Godson's christening, and my dad's funeral. It's always been a part of our lives, and I can't hear it without my eyes prickling. When my happy time here is through, and it's time for me to go home, I want this at my funeral.

[InuKun2008]

Actually, the words are "Feed me till I want no more", not "Feed me now and ever more".

[TheBarty92]

@InuKun2008 true i thaught that but it has been 15 years from when i last heard it its a very good hymn

[drjohncarter1962]

This wonderful hymn was sung at a friend's funeral recently it was incredibly uplifting and allowed me to belt out the song at maximum volume! Very rock and roll. Bridget Snaden will be greatly missed

[trapezemusic]

I was introduced to this hymn thanks to one of the finest motion picture ever made: How Green Was My Valley, which won numerous academy award in 1941, including Best Picture. It is sung at the beginning of the film when the Welsh miners walk from the mine to their modest homes. If you haven't seen it do so, it is a masterpiece.

[meltonmowbray2003]

Fantastic. Rousing hymn. One my favourites. Thank you for uploading!
