this one of the best marriages of tunes to words ever and consequently one of the finest hymns on earth... truly magnificent!
-
lovely traditional hymn ,will live on and on one of the best to sing along even to the novice
-
British composer Herbert Howells studied with Charles V. Stanford at the Royal College of Music in London and later taught there. The tune was composed for an English school and was named for Howells' son who died in childhood. I still get goose bumps every time we sing it in our church....with descant! :) The Anglicans hands down have the BEST hymns!
-
i had it sung at my wedding too. had to have some howells sung at my wedding.
-
Thank you; I didn't know about his son.
I'm a huge fan of Howells' music.
-
... haven't heard this in absolute ages! One of my all time favourites, so much so, it was one of the three songs sung at our wedding (... it was our 10th anniversary back in August). Beautiful words, beautiful music.
-
You should also consider "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence".... very appropriate Eucharistic Hymn.

Herbert Howells wrote this in memory of his only son Michael, who died at a very young age. What an incredible statement of Faith in the face of tragedy!

Now, this is what a congregational hymn should sound like. This is my all-time favorite hymn. The text is amazing and Herbert Howells' tune "Michael" is the perfect match.

Westminser Abbey was not taken from anyone. It was founded by King Edward the Confessor in 1065 and rebuilt by King Henry III in the thirteenth century. It has always, and will always, belong to the Sovereign of England and the United Kingdom.
