  • i love it

  • When this song is played at Mass, everybody sings. Thanks for posting this inspiring music. Good job.

  • I loved this as a child, and I love it even more now.

  • We know this hymn in Finland, too. It is one of my favourite hymns. Also my mother liked it - so it's good to commemorate her with this hymn because she died last summer being old and full of days. We in Finland have "the Saints' Day" usually in the first Saturday of November. Thank you for playing - you had the same sound as in Finland. :)

  • Thank you ! I have loved this music since we sang an english version in high school awhile back. Also am enjoying your Aberstwyth tune. Just lovely!

  • You're welcome, just posted another arrangement of this tune Hyfydol in High Quality audio ( Praise The LORD ) Thanks for visiting - Lance †

  • One of my favorite hymns used during the Holy Mass. Great job!

  • sheet music for this arrangement?

  • Very nice and inspiring. Thanks !!

  • love the tune and hymn and when it is sung in welsh

  • I love this, great job mate!!!

  • Another version is Jesus What a Friend for Sinners. But I'm just LOVING listening with headphones!

  • I've always loved this tune - how many hyms are sung to 'Hyfrydol'? 'Father, Lord Of Creation' is one, if I remember?

    Thankyou

  • His the Shepherd, his the Throne!

    So nice Lance! I think this would be perfect for a postlude song at any service.

    What stop did you use on the 2nd manual for the second verse. Sounded like a trumpet 8.

    God Bless!

  • A 16 ' Fagotto & Regal

  • @organpipe8 we need a welsh language sung version of this uploaded...its beautiful

    I have the songs but I am not sure how to upload vidoes :(

  • You should try the last verse setting By Noel Rawsthorn one time organist at Liverpool Anglican cathedral. It is brilliant

  • Great hymn! As a bass singer, however, maybe the recording didn't pick up the bass harmony --- just love to sing it!

  • you should try to becom a youtbe partner, you have a lot of subscribers, you might make it! [you also get paid for bieng a pernter, you could buy some more music]

    -God be with you

  • Thank you for letting God use you to bless me!

  • My honor and you are welcome †

  • wow !! happy to see my thoughts echoed so many times.. I heard this tune sung in my church in India on harvest festival (for the hymn 'Lord of Glory Who has bought us'). I instantly fell in love with this ... The next year I played this hymn for the same service ... I was 14 back then..

  • Is that an Allen chapel?

  • No - on Profile page, it's Viscount Vivace' made in Italy.

  • This is one of mu favorite hymn tunes and "Alleluia! Sing to Jesus" and "Love Divine" are two of my favorite hymns. I love this hymn tune so much I named my dog after it. Really! We call him "Hyvvie" for short (in Welsh "f" is pronounced as a "v").

  • This is the hymn that made me want to play the organ... and the Gothique Suite by Boellmann, which was the first big composition for organ I ever heard. But primarily this is what made me want to play the organ!

  • Very interesting - did you read my information on the right, this is the Hymn that started it all for me too ♫

  • To all who are reading this, I recommend that you click on organpipe8 and listen to much more of the wonderful music he plays. Truly wonderful. Thank You for your wonderful music organpipe8

  • Your welcome - my honor †

  • AmosPressley wrote "A well-known poem also uses this tune: 'Jesus, what a Friend for Sinners' (Chapman, 1910)." Were you aware that there is another song which begins with the line, "Love Divine all loves excelling" which uses the same melody? It is hymn 657 in the 1982 hymnal. "Alleluia Sing to Jesus" is hymn 460.

  • A well-known poem also uses this tune: "Jesus, what a Friend for Sinners" (Chapman, 1910)

    We sing it in our church with great gusto! Our electronic organ does a nice job, but every once in a while, we wish for a big pipe organ. No telling what we would o if we had one, We would probably blow the roof off the place.

  • NolePaul2006 wrote, "Alleluia Sing to Jesus! Another awesome rendition from you. I agree there is nothing like good organ music at Mass. Unfortunately in our diocese, I believe there are only three churches with pipe organs. The rest have electric or digital organs."

    What diocese is that? The pipe organs are nicer, but the electronic organs can still serve the purpose. Are the churches in your diocese at least pretty?

  • I LOVE Hyfrydol!! *_* I would rate this 5/5 for sure! Or 10, if I could. Thanks for sharing this and all the other great music!

  • Your welcome, you are too kind, GOD BLESS and thanks for visiting †

  • When I was music director at a Catholic Church in the late 70's, I introduced this hymn and I was almost run out of the church by people say it was Protestant. Interesting someone here mentioned it was a good old Catholic Hymn. It's not, but its a great old tune.

  • One of my favorite Catholic hymns. I can't read music, but I can play this one by ear. I love your music. God has given you such a beautiful gift, and you use it to bring joy to others. If I may ask, where are you from? North Dakota here. God bless you.

  • Thanks - I am in Western New York now but planning to move back to South Florida. Blessings.

  • nice playing on that organ--what organ are you using btw?

  • Thanks - it is a Viscount - Vivace Model 20 I mention it on my profile page. Blessings to you.

  • I stopped going to church ages ago. The politics and hypocrisy pushed me away. But if I could go into a church and hear only what is beautiful and loving and right in the world, as you've expressed in your organ playing, I'd be born again. You're great, and I like the way you encourage your fellow organists on YouTube. Thank you for sharing your hymns here.

  • Thank you for your kind words †

  • This is just sublime. It shakes the whole of my parish church in London.

    My God, I love you with all my heart. Please help me to love you even more.

    Oh Lance, thank you very much for these hymns. They just make it for me whenever I hear them .

    God be with you and bless you in all you do. Amen.

    Welldone.

  • This is perhaps one of my favorite hymns ever, it's just such a wonderful hymn, and it sounds great on organ, but even better when you play it. Thank you so much for sharing, and may God Bless You! †

  • Thank you, This is the first Hymn I ever learned. Blessings †

  • I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. This past Sunday (April 27), I played this for the opening hymn. It is #392 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship in the Easter section. In the old Service Book and Hymnal, it was sung to the tune of ALLELUIA, composed by Samuel Sebastian Wesley. Just thought I'd share.

  • I love this organ BIG sound from small console! I enjoy playing along with you on my Yamaha P250!!

  • Nice - now record it sometime for all of us to enjoy... come on, don't be shy ! Lance †

  • Another great hymn! It is better with headphones on.

  • Thanks and glad to hear you are using the Headphones, this Organ has Spatial Separation which doesn't seem to come through without them and the Pedals sound nice too. †

  • There's nothing more beautiful than hymns played on a organ! Thanks!!!

  • Your welcome, that's why I am posting them, so many enjoy them, Blessings †

  • OrganPipe: I haven't been connecting as well with my Catholic church as the past. We don't have ANY musical talent in our church, no organ, just a piano and a not-so-good singer. I can't get in to the worship and praise of God.

    I have been listening to your posts for the last 2 weeks straight.

    Thank you!

    ~Brandon

  • I hear you and get that a lot, unfortunately...

    Many message me saying they only hear the organ on Christmas and Easter, the rest of the year, guitars and drums... I couldn't imagine going to a church and not hearing good Organ Music. Well there is always prayer, and maybe things will change, in the meantime, listen to my video's when you can.

  • Another fantastic rendition of a firm family favourite.

  • Thank You. Lance †

  • Gratias! My favorite!

  • Your welcome, mine too †

  • You are so talented. I just love this Hymn. It is played at my Catholic Church here on Long Island (St Cyril and St Methodius)very often. I wish I had your talent. God Bless you and post more when you get a chance.

  • Thank You, always posting new Hymns come back soon. Lance †

  • Thank you!!!

  • Your welcome †

  • I have listen to you often, the music, playing, stop selections, timing, excellent, my only wish is you would do the same music performance on a large pipe organ, oh what joy that would bring. What organ is that? Its an electronic I can tell but what was make, brand...who makes it?

  • Thank you for your kind words, might do something in a large Church soon if I can borrow a Camcorder, these are made on my cheap Webcam. As far as the Orgam, so I don't have to explain every thing, it is all in my Profile. Please take a momemnt and read it and you never know what is coming soon so keep watching, might surprise you and make you very happy. Blessings !

  • i am very very nice the tune

  • very nice

    love the tune!!!

  • Thanks... One of my many favorites too.

  • I have several hymnals as well, and I have noticed each one is a bit different. I love this tune, and I learned it also as "Alleluia! Sing to Jesus". I remember STUTTGART being the tune for "Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus" from the old UCC hymnal.

  • YES - at the early age of around 9 - I was playing this on the Piano, my poor Mother, 10,000 times... She was a Saint ( but I would catch her singing or humming it all the time too along with me playing it).

  • I LOVE IT!...your an awesome organist!...an inspiration to me...keep up the good work sir.

  • Thanks - still have around 50 more to post then stop and let others do some posting...

    GOD BLESS
