Anglo-Saxons were Germans! We are brothers and we should be friends!

Thank God Almighty for giving the world the extraordinarily gifted German Baroque composers and musicians, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) and George Friederich Handel (1685-1759)!! Their oratorical music and the chorus as adapted and arranged for the uplifting Easter Hymn by Edmond Budry (1854-1932) in 1884 are beautiful, glorious and inspirational!!

'Thine be the Glory' (choral) is a very beautiful and profoundly moving Song of Ascent, which ends on a gloriously high note - To the Glory of God the Most High....!

I have often listened to 'See here the conquering hero comes....!' with its original lovely Hebraic melody from George Friederich Handel's Oratorio, 'Judah Maccabee'. As beautiful as it is, it is often sung at a much faster tempo but loses its majestic grandeur. I prefer the adaptation and rendition of the music with its lovely Hebraic melody for the well known hymn, 'Thine be the Glory' as arranged by Edmond Budry in 1884. It is far more dignified, beautiful and spiritually elevating!

Hi, my name is Alexander Harold Hersh and I reside in Johannesburg, in the Republic of South Africa. I am Jewish and often enjoy listening to 'Thine be the Glory' (choral) with its original Hebraic melody from 'Judah Maccabee', which was composed by the 17th and 18th Century German Baroque composer and musician, George Friederich Handel in England. It is a choral masterpiece for the Church and for everyone. It is very beautiful and exquisite, glorious and magnificent and is truly an inspiration!

@EnglishBanner Thank you for saying this, I was worried Europeans were losing all of their cultural pride and roots with all the talk of EU and open borders.
