Very uplifting.

The words were written by the poet Lloyd Stone (1912-1993).
Finlandia was composed by Sibelius in 1899-1900 and had no words.
Lloyd Stone often fails to get credit for these words that he wrote in 1934. The poem has three verses, when sung to the tune from Finlandia, it is usually given the title "A Song of Peace" or "This is My Song." The third verse of the poem is rarely sung.
Lloyd Stone was born in California and published several books of poems while living in Hawaii.

Oh, I noticed you had told that the church was the one of Hollola - only about 100 miles from my home. :)

Because here in Finland it is our yearly Indepence Day, I decided to look for Finlandia here. I loved your version. I agree fully with the prayer in the text (the Finnish version is very patriotic). By the way, it was nice to see that also others have churches like my recent one - I mean the one in the end of your video. :)

That's the first time I've seen the English words other than the hymn in our church. The pictures were beautiful, thankyou.

I've spent this evening reviewing a number of expressions of "The Song of Peace," including many ways of rendering Finlandia. At the conclusion of it all, I've found that this particular version is the best integration of music and pictures, with a universal sense of our spiritual connectedness.
How things have developed since Sibelius' first composition! Something wonderful was released into the world. We all just keep growing and connecting.
Gratefully, from Columbia, Missouri.

Many thanks for your comment! I wish this song, "This is My Song" from the Filandia becomes "Everyone's Song" who wishes the peace of the world.
