Protestant Church - England - Processional Hymn

[carefree1905]

a hymn written by a Roman Catholic (granted, he was born an Anglican, but he converted), being called a C of E processional hymn. Whilst it is without question a Roman Catholic hymn by origin, it's great to see some unity amongst the churches for a change! Blesséd Cardinal John Henry Newman. What a man!

[ricub1]

Episcopalians know this tune as "Newman" (by Richard Runciman Terry, 1912) - "Praise to the Holiest in the height".

What beautiful Church is featured in this video?

[BigDaddyOldDude]

This is the first time I have heard this tune. BEAUTIFUL!!

[KhyberBoy09]

protestants are the best among christians.

[lippertism]

@Nimo753 Thats w/ ALL Ebangelical/Pentacostal Churches! Thats ! reason out of a million why I CONERTED over to the Catholic Church! Its TRUE in Faith and twas the FIRST Christian Church!

[gfsquire]

The Church of England is not a protestant denomination. In our creed at mass we say that we are a Catholic church.

[harpsichordkid]

@gfsquire Presbyterians, Methodists, Lutherans, Reformed.... almost all traditional Protestant denominations affirm faith in the catholic (one universal) faith. The CofE is a historically Protestant church. Remember Cranmer, Ridley, Hooper, & Latimer. Remember Ussher, Tillotson, Toplady, & Ryle. Remember that her majesty swore to uphold the "Protestant & Reformed" religion. Remember these things!

[timothyj1966]

@harpsichordkid wrong - a lot of Protestants do not support or agree with the corruption in the Catholic church.

[harpsichordkid]

@timothyj1966 I was speaking of the affirmation of the 'catholic' church as found in the Apostles' Creed or the Nicene Creed. I was not speaking of the "Roman Catholic Church". It is a deviation from historical Protestant faith to deny the one universal church which binds all Christians together. I do not know any major Reformer or any major Protestant theologian that denies faith in the universal catholic church.

God exists nowhere other than in our brains, but my word we can create some wonderful music!

[UlsterIsBritishYaTim]

English Protestants are misguided.

[Nimo753]

Speak Up folks - Anglican in my country started to sway a little bit - i finally realised that we are influenced by 1.the Pentecostal movement 2.Mormonism.

they are well trained to preach against our doctrines , structures and form of worship............young groups are notified that these two congregations only want money and members , and not your solus ....i have wrote articles on how to stand agaisnt these witches.

[philipvlnst]

@rodguy Bravo! Bravo! well said! amen. unfortunately where i live there ain't no church of england, so i have to make do with baptist/presbyterian. Fortunately, the congregation is receptive to anglican hymns (as they are classically oriented).

[priereanotredame]

Which hymn tune is this?

[whittlebells]

@priereanotredame It is 'Praise to the Holiest in the height' sung to the tune 'Billing' by R.R. Terry. One of my favorite tunes.

[priereanotredame]

@whittlebells Thanks for the replay . . . I like this hymn tune very much.

@john2000young not all of us can read Bibles in Latin!

[merio0269]

@john2000young as fr. Mario from QUÉBEC, i could write bro. your remarks is very unpolite. Read the encyclical letter wrote by my late Master of Theology +fr. Tillard, o.p. and signed by the bishop of Rome, bx. John-Paul II, Ut Unum Sint ! For your penitence: 100 Pater, 3 Ave, 1 Glory XOX

[KiraAdzior]

very pretty :)

[lippertism]

The organ is a Skinner. And this Church is located in Londen England.

[lippertism]

Great song. Praise to thy Holiest in thy Heighst is a good Anglican song. The Roman Catholic church also uses this hymnal as well. God is real and if you don't think so, you will be punished. But if you believe, well there will be many good yhings in store for YOU.

@lippertism

[herzlichliebhabich]

[lippertism]

@herzlichliebhabich the church is located in Londen Ingland NOTE; ( THE CHURCH IS NOT WEST MINISTER ABEY).

[kriszticfr]

Beautiful !

[lippertism]

very nice

[anonymousollie]

its a pity 'god' isnt real and if he is he is a wanker for taking my parents and family away and for making me gay.

[lippertism]

do not listen to him, GOD IS REAL.

[lippertism]

@anonymousollie do not listen to him, GOD IS ERAL.

[lippertism]

do not listen to him, GOD IS SO REAL.

[federalistphilip]

its a pity that even this song is not sung in the catholic masses. Hope some philippine roman catholic church will revive the old traditional hymns

[rodguy01]

The exhaultation of God through hymns is something very Anglican and makes me very proud to be Anglican. Every week I go the church and hear the choir with the organs at full blast makes me choke up every time and feel a sense of peace, if that effect was something the church of England wanted to achieve then they have certainly achieved it with me. Keep them coming!

[choralcathedral1]

@rodguy01 amem, me too

[Chesterbarnes1]

@rodguy01 I totally agree! And I share the same sentiments. Thank you.

[emilewyn]

Love this tune!

[kapariz44]

Isn't this Billing, by Richard Runciman Terry?

[NiklasH]

What is this for an titel? The Lyrics?

[sitric914]

@NiklasH The title is Praise to the Holiest in the Height: Praise to the Holiest in the height, and in the depth be praise; in all his words most wonderful, most sure in all his ways! O loving wisdom of our God! When all was sin and shame, a second Adam to the fight and to the rescue came. O wisest love! that flesh and blood, which did in Adam fail, should strive afresh against the foe, should strive, and should prevail;

[herzlichliebhabich]

@sitric914 Thank you for the words!!!!! It is a beautiful melody and pipe organ!!
