Listening to this is so relaxing.

The tune is called Lyngham.

Which tune is this?

@bcurt47 Actually, you believe what you believe because you are fucking idiots. This is still amazing sounding music though.

The comments on this page are fascinating. We're told that the church music should attract youth so we take the pop songs of today and add Jesus name. My teenage son said "Dad I love Rock & Roll but I don't want it at church!" We attended a service recently where they used a Sinéad O'Connor love song as a praise chorus! The hymns teach our theology- why we believe what we believe!

This choir has sung it perfectly. I could hear it a thousand times,beautiful song.

@5355vbxjbj76rvn Although I may be wrong, I believe the slower tune was the original - Charles Wesley often wrote hymns to sombre, slow music but most of it was later changed to faster and more joyful tunes.
I think both tunes are brilliant - and the lyrics are beautiful.
Modern Christian Music of all genre do not hold a candle and are not even worthy of comparison to this kind of traditional music. Charles Wesley and his peers are the absolute pinnacle of hymns for the church age. To neglect this music as most of evangelical Christianity is doing today is absolutely tragic. This kind of music is actually quite easy to sing as a choir or congregation with parts. Your soul can fly into the heavens and have a taste of eternity through Jesus Christ and his music.

@krateschwinn I agree with you. Choral singing of the traditional hymns is our closest earthly experience of the angelic choir singing praises and glory to the Lord in heaven.
