@organisten I am not British, I'm American, my parents were Italian. The reason why a hymn such as this makes one feel proud is that it recalls to mind the special things unique to one's nation that makes one proud of it. In this case it may be the determined resolve with which the British people confronted the Nazi scourge, alone at first. Granted no nation is perfect but a hymn is an appeal to the sou to call up "the better angels of our of our nation".

It was nice to see a shot of the late Queen Mother singing the hymn at 2:19. She more than perhaps anyone in the Royal Family embodied the meaning of this hymn--that of steadfast service to one's country and to God. And now her daughter The Queen is following in her mother's footsteps.

@Newienew he must have been a good organist; after all, most organists do not need a capital letter.

I know that Organist that played at this Wedding. He was a very good Organist too. After he retired, he and his wife came out to Australia and lived out here.
