The BEST arrangement of this piece I have ever heard. I listen to it over and over each day!

Hello--- I am a retired UMC minister in Arizona ---- your wonderful choir has now become standard in my daily devotions. I've watched you so much, I've sort of adopted you. Many Thanks and Great Blessings. You help carry Our Lord's hope into these virus times.

Loved it when it cut to the wide shot and showed Tom playing and choir coming in.

HYFRYDOL: orchestra, and pipe organ complement the whole chorus of saints! Trumpets out over the top!

[nanikdasani]

Alleluia! Sing to Jesus, His the scepter, his the throne
Alleluia! His the triumph, His the victory alone
Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood
Jesus out of every nation hath redeemed us by his blood.
Alleluia! Not as orphans are we left in sorrow now
Alleluia! He is near us, faith believes nor questions how
Though the cloud from sight received him when the forty days were o'er
Shall our hearts forget his promise, I am with you evermore?
Alleluia! Bread of heaven, here on earth our food and stay
Alleluia! Here the sinful flee to thee from day to day
Intercessor, Friend of sinners, earth's Redeemer, plead for me
Where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea.
Alleluia! King eternal, thee the Lord of Lords we own
Alleluia! Born of Mary, earth thy footstool, heaven thy throne
Thou within the veil hast entered, robed in flesh, our great High Priest
Thou on earth both Priest and Victim in the Eucharistic Feast...
