This was always a favourite hymn of mine but as I lay very ill in hospital in Sheffield, I listened to it over and over on my headphones and watched the video on my phone whilst tears ran quietly down my cheeks. As the ward fell silent in the evening the words seemed to have a very special significance.
I know what you mean about it being bad. I've just been thinking about a family member who died recently and came here for comfort. I got this which, despite my sadness, made me chuckle, especially the common about the tenor. God bless that choir for putting a smile back on my face and thank you.
I first heard this played on the steel drum by the top tenor master panner from the Pan Am North Star Jets while watching the sunset on Montserrat in 1981. We became fast friends and later that year played a concert that raised money to buy all the school books that year. His name is Jackie Dangler and he played on Jimmie Buffett's "Vulcano" album. I would like to find him now as he is very holy man who brought great blessings to my life. I believe he is in New York. God bless you, Jackie.
a Wonderful hymn bought tears to my eyes was played at my grand fathers funeral and being ex army our local army base heard of this and gave him a funeral with full military honours and i very proudly carried his medals behind his coffin thank you for this wonderful hymn
The singing might not be up to your standards, but the real shame is that the choir is probably old and the tradition has not been passed down to the young, and that is the true shame.
God bless these oldsters for trying o keep the flame alive.
great hymn to thank the Lord when you sit back every night to appreciate God's mercy, kindness & protection. God bless you, TVNORTH. ever since i knew this hymn in the early 80s, i thank God for the hymn.
I like to feel sexy....knowing someone is watching me ..wanting me...turns me on!BADLY!

We comit our lives and spirits into Your hands Oh Lord for safe keeping, night and day. Please be our God and keeper throught this life and the next. Amen.
Hymns like this leave a lot of the modern Choruses behind. Churches these days are singing less of these hymns in preference to choruses to attract younger folk to church but it is the great hymns that I would go to church for. What magnificent lyrics and harmonies in the old favourites. Sadly, they don't seem to write them as they used to.
If you have enjoyed this rendition. Then why not try listening to a Salvation Army Brass Band playing these beautiful Hymn Tunes for Sunset on Channel H15GWP. The same beautiful tune St:Clements. My favourite Hymn this.
what a brillant video and a beautiful rendition of the day tho gavest
i am a yorkshireman born and bred I worked on the building of the humber bridge (which incendently was the longest single span suspension bridge in the world at the time of its building)
and i chose the day tho gavest as the main hymn for my funeral
how spooky is that?
oh ps excuse the spelling but the sentiments are real
It is also in the Lutheran Book of Worship which is used in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, and also in the German Evangelisches Gesangbuch, which is used by the German Lutheran church. There actually they have a German and the English version. So it seems, this hymn is sung all over the world.

We must now build the 3rd temple JHWH, on Mount of Olives, for our prosperity and world peace
We must create a new world order without:

Or everything will be destroyed in the 3rd world war, or with major disasters
We must give our children and small children around the world hope concrete:a possible future political SHALOM
