I always cry when I hear this song

[@SeffleTowerBrass]

It is a lovely melody and very touching indeed!

[@arlenehensley7305]

As one gets older, this hymn becomes more meaningful. Well done!

[@SeffleTowerBrass]

Thankyou arlene!!😀

[@Tocsin-Bang]

A truly great hymn, beautifully played, thank you!

[@SeffleTowerBrass]

Thankyou, we appreciate your views tremendously!

Thank you, from a grandson of a Swedish Salvation Army officer who was a missionary first to Japan, then the United States. He helped abolish the Japanese custom of the poor selling their daughters to the rich around 1900. Praise God! I believe this tune, which I know well, was played on the deck of the sinking Titanic. Play On !

[@SeffleTowerBrass]

Thank you Hugo for the kind words!! However we think that it might have been "Nearer My God To Thee" that according to the tradition was played during the Titanic disaster. They two melodies have a very similar musical structure. Have a nice summer!

Wow! Fantastic performance of this great hymn. Well-balanced and blended wth the occasional Trumpet (?) rising over the chorus. Great for memorial services (mine??)

[@SeffleTowerBrass]

Thankyou for your very kind words but we sincerly hope that your memorial service will not come yet for many, many years! We wish you the very best!!

[@clementbretanno1116]

Very good rendition.. Keep up the good work.. God needs us more than ever in this civid crisis. God bless you and all who made this piece possible to be shared... Prayer to the Holy Spirit (St Augustine) Breathe in me O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy. Strengthen me O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy. Amen

[@SeffleTowerBrass]

Thankyou!! Merry Christmas!
