I wish I could maker such a triumphant ending without first laboriously writing it out!

The «wrongest» thing here is the COMMENT / TITLE! As other(s) have said this is a brilliant and possibly EXTEMPORE alternate harmonisation. Those who want to make fun, YOU play a better one! And, to the student organist: WELL DONE! Even IF a note or 2 were not what you intended you WILL get more confident and you WILL make a thrilling ending to many of the hymns you will play, hopefully over a long, and distinguished career.

This isn't a mistake. He meant for the song to sound that way and in my opinion, he was very creative, and gave a very competent performance.

Come play at my church :-)

I think he took on too much, not sure if he was making it up or following a different version but it didn't sound right. However, he is a reasonable organist, I have heard a lot worse!
-
@MrJpholmes Yes, I never understand why organists do that to that extent.
-
@DRMS7888 and, of course, he got in trouble for doing it as well :-)

VABCHBRYAN is quite right! If there is a real problem it's too loud for chapel accompaniment!!
-
Why is he jumping at the keys like its a piano towards the end. It doesn't matter how hard you hit them!

@71259mark The choir doesn't sound the least bit "distracted" or "uncomfortable" to me. The harmonies were inspiring.
What he is doing is called an alternate harmonization of the hymn. Although some of the chords are quite dissonant I think in general it is quite brilliant.

I heard nothing wrong. I heard something creative. In fact, it's something I'd do especially if I saw heads nodding off in the congregation. . . love the dissonance in the final cadence! I'll have to try that some time!
