God is working his purpose out - Hymn Tune Benson

I have always loved this tune.
The words to each verse are irregular so you have to glue your eyes to the words as you play which is my excuse for the odd mistake apart from "short fat finger syndrome"!
I like the words to the last two lines..
"Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God, as the waters cover the sea."

Brilliantly played - thank you for posting! This is one I havent yet dared do on youtube even though it seems to be a popular choice at my church.

@ChrisLawtonorganist Thanks. This one is easier if you don't look at the words because every verse is different.

Thank you and may the Lord Jesus Christ bless you indeed. Amen

@guyjay7 Thanks SIr. The mistakes are very subtle and on this piece they were actually due to my fingers pushing down adjacent notes briefly. "Short Fat Finger Syndrome" I played a wrong note @3:00 which I had never done before! Otherwise I was quite proud of this one.
