  1. does anyone know …
    does anyone know where i can buy Methodist Hymns on cd sung as wonderfully by choirs? Seems scarce online..

  2. Ah Methodism! Such …
    Ah Methodism! Such fervour; such piety; such joy in Christian belief — all seen here in the singing of this wonderful hymn. The moribund Church of England is so wanting, by comparison. It’s too bad the followers of Wesley left the Established church.

  3. Good solid singing …
    Good solid singing of a good solid Wesley hymn.

    These grand Victorian compositions are the stuff of reforming, progressive, social Christianity with a purpose. What great men the Wesleys were.

    Hymns like this need gusto from the congregation, led by a good strong organ behind them. Thank God we have both (and trumpets to boot) in this fabulous video.

  4. I challenge all the …
    I challenge all the Christians in the entire planet -layman and church leaders alike- to pray God that the volcanic eruption I stated below would not happen:

    “Before this year will be over, 2 volcanic eruptions will shake the United States of America. The name of these volcanoes had something to do with faith.”

    If despite of your prayer these faithful volcanoes had erupted, then, know and understand that God is with me, therefore you are under obligation to listen to me

  5. LEAVE YOUR CHURCH! …
    LEAVE YOUR CHURCH! (faith in Christ alone is all that matters)
    DO NOT BUY, DO NOT SELL (just help for free; give for free).
    DESTROY ALL THE WORKS OF THE BEAST (be perfectly holy)

    Maybe they also think that you get todays newspaper from an explosion in a printing press.

    I’m not sure that ‘YouTube’ is the place for a theological debate Bibliosca ! Of course you are as entitled to your view as I am to mine but not one of the ‘wonders’ you describe in your post aren’t completely explicable by reference to natural science. Your ‘designer creator God’ argument is simply redundant and that which can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without apology. (It’s still a great hymn tho !)

    part of love thy nieghbour to warn all of harmful new world order ideas of controling the masses.

    if you can see the sun is the proper distance from earth for life and the moon effects our tides cleaning the oceans and giving a night light and a perfect eclipse with ring effect, the north star fixed so we get accurate grenich meantime, or the order of animals and insects had to be made at the same time as plants how do you not believe in a designer creator God

    it is unfortunate …
    it is unfortunate that so many churches have never sung this hymn. I was introduced to it by a priest friend of mine when he was installed as canon missioner for the diocese of West Missouri. When the “chains came off”, it was electrifying! You can’t but be moved by this one!

  14. this hymn is a …
    this hymn is a favourite of our family,actually my sisters favourite which she learned when she attended the first high school for girls in subsaharan africa established by the CMS of Britain in Sierra Leone in 1849, it brings tears to my eyes as i sing lustily just as this congregation did, indeed “tis mercy all,, for oh my God it found out me”

  15. Avoid vaccines, …
    Avoid vaccines, they contain mercury, aluminum, MSG, aspartame, formaldehyde, squalene etc that cause diseases like ADD, autism, Lupus, Gulf War syndrome, Lou Gehrig’s, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, cancer, asthma, arthritus, depression etc. Now the WHO is pushing 4.9 billion H1N1 vaccines to be made & used throughout the world..hmm

  16. That final verse …
    That final verse really gets me every time.

    Glory to God

    a bit harsh on the Gaiters but yes, I know what you mean. The gospel in one hymn.

  18. Amen!
    Amen!

  19. AMEN! My favourite …
    AMEN! My favourite hymn. THANKYOU GOD FOR MUSIC, GREAT WORDS, ALL GOOD THINGS! but most of all..KING JESUS, OUR HOPE AND OUR SALVATION!

  20. You don’t have to …
    You don’t have to be a believer (and I’m not…) to appreciate the magnificence of this wonderful hymn. Clearly the devil didn’t get all the best tunes !

  21. I’m in floods of …
    I’m in floods of tears. One of the greats. Contemporary songs are great, but NOTHING beats the classics.

  22. never. the Gaiters …
    never. the Gaiters sings for show, but this congregation sing for the glory of God.

  23. The Illuminati are …
    The Illuminati are bluebloods such as Rothschilds, Windsors, Warburgs, Al Gore & Pike etc who rule secret societies including Freemasonry. They’ll probably force-vaccinate much of the world with toxic crap in Fall, start WW3, implement Codex Alimentarius & internet 2 then stage an alien invasion to get a fascist world government with you chipped. Support Oracle Broadcasting, Dr. Deagle, and Stewart Swerdlow!

  24. Beautiful voices!
    Beautiful voices!

  25. “And Can It Be That …
    “And Can It Be That I Should Gain” by the Wesley Chapel congregation is great, but we think the Gaiters’ rendition is even better. The Gaithers’ group just has that something extra and they are pretty much top notch on any song they sing.
