Presentation Hymn (Offertory) - "Here I Am Lord"
camcorded live 01 February 2009

Chorus) Here am I, Lord. Is it I, Lord? I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me. I will hold your people in my heart.

Verse) I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will send the poor and lame. I will set a feast for them. My hand will save.
Finest bread I will provide, 'Til their hearts be satisfied. I will give my life to them. Whom shall I send?

Chorus) Here am I, Lord. Is it I, Lord? I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me. I will hold your people in my heart.

Tune: "Here I Am Lord", Daniel L. Schutte, 1981

The Redeemer Congregation and Choir
The parish choir of the Church of the Redeemer
Wayne Burcham-Gulotta,
Music Director/Organist

J. W. Steere & Son Organ Co., Opus 701, 1918, 3/49

Ernest M. Skinner bought out Steere in 1920 and Skinner ran Steere as a separate company for about a year. Then they brought it into the fold as a separate Skinner factory. For a time organs being built there had the Skinner name but were essentially Steere organs. Much of the great Skinner at Woolsey Hall, Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA is Steere (1915 major enlargement of 1902 Hutchings). Final expansion to the Skinner instrument at Yale we know today was the 1928-1929 rebuild.

As a new convert to from the Jehovah's Witness cult to true Christianity, this hymn blew my mind when we sung it last Sunday in Church. Thanks for posting it. Blessings to you.

As usual and as I have many time before, splendid video! This song has been performed at many funerals. Nevertheless, it is gorgeous. Marvelous job you did on the organ!

Thanks Ken for your most kind comments.

The Episcopal Diocese of Bethlehem (Pennsylvania) recently wrote for permission, which I happily granted, and they are going to use this video as a part of a multi-media video presentation at their upcoming diocesean convention.

I go to a Catholic High School in Little Rock, and for our Senior Ring Mass Ceremony, my schola and I are singing this with the seniors, by candlelight. It's gonna be a very special moment :)

@joenwayne Hello Wayne. Well, I guess a hearty congratulations are in order for you for the Diocese deciding to use your video in their presentation during their convention. Awesome news! Let me know how it went if you would. Congrats once again!

You're welcome. Thanks for viewing and your comments.

Thanks ever so much for posting this. I attend the Community of Christ church and this is one of the hymns that kept me going back. This is one of my favourite hymns to play for baptisms/confirmations and for priesthood ordinations. It also makes a wonderful sounding postlude. Thanks again for posting. :)
