  • I love this text with this tune. Never would have thought of it, but theologically, it makes so much sense!

  • Great ! Superb !

    Thanks

  • I would love to know who wrote the descant! If I can't buy it, I just might have to transcribe it...

  • Beautiful hymn, and I think that the melody "Cross of Jesus" is very well suited. Worshipped at St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral, Edinburgh this morning, where we sang this very arrangement as the opening hymn, followed by "On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry (Winchester New), "Thou Whose Almighty Word" (Moscow), and concluding with "Jesus shall reign where e'er the sun" (Truro). Superb choir and organ. Spine-tingling stuff!

  • @lindigo505 Just my theological opinion, my brother. I lean towards the solemn, sober, and reflective expectation of Advent rather than full-on jubilant apocalyptic. I can't play Hyfrydol without that full-on joy, and as I said earlier I don't think it fits the words or the season. That's my opinion as an organist and theologian, but your mileage may vary! Peace be with you as we both await his coming with expectant joy.

  • @obxemt Too jubilant? How is it possible to be too jubilant about the coming birth of our Savior? "Make a joyful noise . . . "

  • Actually the other tune in the NEH is 'Halton Holgate', but this, 'Cross of Jesus' is definitely on my top beloved hymn list. And nice descant as well.....!
