E'en So Lord Jesus Quickly Come

Rest in peace, Dr. Paul Manz

Does anyone know what recording this is from?

It's the Kansas City Chorale. The album title is "Alleluia- An American Hymnal."

May God comfort you on your loss! The hope of heaven and Christ's return have never been more real to me than at the loss of a loved one. I pray that reality of that hope will give you comfort even in your sorrow.

I had the completely unexpected honor and thrill of singing this song tonight at the Kapelle Choir concert at Concordia University Chicago! The choir director added it to the program in honor of Paul Manz, and he invited those of us in the audience who knew it to come and join the choir. Words cannot express the holy joy and awe I experienced as I sang this most gorgeous of sacred songs with an excellent choir! Thanks be to God for Paul Manz, and thanks to Charles Brown tonight!

As a Christian, the song points to the greatest sorrow, love, joy, and hope, I know. Praise to Jesus, my Hero, and Lord. Though, I am not worthy, He died for me. But more than that he defeated death to bring me hope and life. I too pray for Jesus' quick return as I spent decades craving my own death in the throes of dark depression. The fact that I remain makes me trust that God is not through molding me through the hardship I endure on this side. Thanks the Paul Manz for writing this song.

I was saddened to hear of his passing, and honored and humbled to have met the man and heard him play.

Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Rest in God's Peace.

Rest in God's peace  Paul Manz
