I remember singing this when I was in a Church Choir. How I miss the beautiful hymns by John Rutter. 🙏

It can´t be done much better than this. Pure pleasure both watching and listening

[SallyGreenaway]

Bravissimo tutti!! What a sound - the choral sound, colour control and blend is superb and the pianist is outstanding! Thank you!

[Nightowl]

Happy happy memories from childhood in the 80s. My mother was a choral director, music was her life. Songs like this shaped my musical taste and my life.
Beautiful performance!

Since I was growing up, one of my favorite hymns - whether Rutter's melody or the original one. Our world needs more music like this - and the human values it reflects.

I am a bass singer in a church choir here in Cambridge, UK. We are singing many different authors and songs, some more interesting and beautiful than others. When we sang this Rutter song a few months ago I realised this is the best one I have heard so far.
This choir in Lithuania sound like pros already. Thanks for recording and posting this video. Is much appreciated. Well done!

I had the honor of being a member of the 1985 NC HONORS CHORUS. We did this song....was my moms favorite.

For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies
Over and around us lies
'Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our joyful hymn of praise
For the beauty of each hour
Of the day and of the night
Hill and vale and tree and flow'r
Sun and Moon and stars of light
Sun and Moon and stars of light
'Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our joyful hymn of praise
For the joy of human love (For the joy of love)
Brother, sister, parent, child (Brother, sister, parent, child)
Friends on earth (Friends on earth) and friends above (And friends above)
For all gentle thoughts and mild (For all gentle thoughts and mild)
For all gentle thoughts and mild
'Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our joyful hymn (Our joyful hymn) of praise (Of praise)
For each perfect gift of Thine
To our race so freely given
Graces human (Given) and divine (Human and divine)
Flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n
Flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n
'Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our joyful hymn (Our joyful hymn) of praise
(This our joyful hymn) Our hymn of praise
