1 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 ev'ry nation has redeemed us by His blood. 2 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"? 3 Alleluia! Bread of heaven, here on earth our food, our stay. Alleluia! Here the sinful flee to You from day to day. Intercessor, Friend of sinners, earth's Redeemer, hear our plea where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea.

That would be Hytrydol Giftantly played by Stephen Buzard on utube in this organ section Give a listen, The improvization is outstanding!

[@Geoplanetjane]

@@haljohnston1558 the entire performance is truly world class

[@ElMcMeen1a]

Hyfrydol, the greatest hymn tune EVER!! ...and beautifully played!!

[@niccolopaganini1782]

[@jimb9063]

Was my old mans favourite. Brings out the best in a great rumbling powerful pipe organ.

[@alfredpeter1]

I can no longer play, but feel the pedals beneath my feet watching you perform!

[@WhitneyHaverstock]

That's beautiful and sad and wonderful and tragic buddy. 🤔 God bless ya. 🙏✊

[@joshuacurtismusic]

Beautiful rendition in a beautiful location! I loved the variety of tone colors that were used. I've always loved how the organ can sound so gentle at times, so forceful at times, but always majestic. I felt the spirit of God in this rendition. Wonderful job!

[@ianjefferies6755]

Hyfrydol, one of the greatest hymn tunes ever composed and so professionally played!

[@tonychurchille8377]

This is heaven on earth. Sounds so beautiful. Almighty God has indeed given gifts to sons of men.

[@juniperwoodgreen4090]

Give thanks to the almighty Bach who recognised God as the same. Oh and I know this isn't his creation. Lol...

[@paulchappelhymns]

Glorious, Stephen, just glorious. Thank you so much.

[@rosannawiltshire6100]

This music takes me to where I think Almighty God is, in a paradise where they play this sort of music to Him

[@loumarcellino3315]

A beautiful thought indeed. God bless you.

[@niccolopaganini1782]

True. Praise be to the Almighty God!

[@jeromewysocki8809]

Really nice performance of a favorite hymn. This is one of the best versions of it that I've ever heard. I enjoyed it a lot.

[@JohnHarris-dw9ki]

Spectacular the way with the pedal part is superb of what a organ can be played by a conercer

[@kobbyamstrong]

You are great Steve🙏🔥🔥🔥

[@cirruslogic]

Thanks for recording this in stereo and great bass. Stephen Buzard plays so well. I wish I could listen to such beautiful hymns on the pipe organ in my church live.

[@jonathanbriggs3234]

This is one of my favorite hymns in the canon. Stephen does a wonderful job here and unlike other organists, he does not do too much noodling around (a term one of my organists used in the past) when he improvises on the principle melody. It's very nice to see how he respects the limits of the text as it matches with the music, and he doesn't go too far afield to demonstrate his abilty to make his instrument sing to its best capacity. It's been said that the most versatile instrument is the organ, and Mr. Buzzard certainly shows that here. I enjoyed his performance here. Well done!

[@crwydryn]

Great to hear a proper hymn!--Well played.

[@sfopera]

What a great pleasure to hear this magnificent hymn played like this.

[@rylanaharrisofficial]

This was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!! Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!

[@JohnWilliams-bp2so]

It is HYFRYDOL. It is a Welsh word meaning 'beautiful'.

[@WhitneyHaverstock]

Ah! Thank you! 🙏 I was wondering... 🤔 To lazy to look it up. 😅

[@chrisrthomas3196]

What a modulation and last verse!!! Now that’s a church I’d attend!

[@TristanandIsolt]

Only surpassed by Canon in D for greatest melody in a song. A great modern artist Peter Mayer took this tune and wrote a song called Blue Boat Home. I encourage checking that one out.

[@owunarisolomonerekosima7463]

Sublime play and improvisation on a great hymn tune.

[@Dez_Z06]

Song is perfect and I respect you

[@anahitalakra2124]

Beautiful 😌

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

Thank you! 😊

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, Has 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! Heavenly High Priest, Here on earth our help, our stay; Alleluia! Hear the sinful Cry to you from day to day. Intercessor, friend of sinners, Earth's Redeemer, hear our plea, Where the songs of all the sinless Sweep across the crystal sea. Alleluia! King eternal, You the Lord of lords we own: Alleluia! born of Mary, Earth your footstool, heaven your throne: You within the veil, have entered, Robed in flesh, our great High Priest: By your Spirit, left us heavenward, In the Eucharistic feast!

[@adrianrichards9852]

Heavenly

[@eastcoastmz]

Absolutely amazing! There is nothing more inspiring or moving than hymns played with a pipe organ. This young man is very talented. This music lifts my spirit into a different dimension - in my mind. I can't imagine what HEAVEN is going to be like. Thank you Jesus for saving my soul!

[@WhitneyHaverstock]

Amen.

[@TitoTorbellinoVevo]

This was the processional at my wedding ❤

[@buddhistandcatholic]

This is a beautiful organ.

[@MikeyBoRo]

You actually get it. Love the bass!!

[@luisperez-dt5ze]

Beautiful hymn

[@marcowunnenberg2239]

Hust..just huge greetings from germany very nice

[@jackkircher1755]

As an ear and heart musician, I had often seen this hymn listed but since the only note I recognize is middle C, I couldn't figure out the tune. I found by hearing it that it is a tune I am familiar with since I only play hymns. The lyrics I am familiar with are to the hymn, "Jesus, what a Friend for Sinners.". I do like his style. Absolutely beautiful!!!!🎹🎶🎼💒

[@WhitneyHaverstock]

I like the 'Blue Boat Home' version. All are just 👌 though.

[@freemandryden2275]

Magnificent rendition! What a pleasure to hear someone who knows what HYMN LEADERSHIP is all about. I'd love to have been singing in the congregation.

[@sophelet]

Stephen Buzard is a phenomenal organist, and is now the assistant organist at St. Thomas' Episcopal Church on Fifth Avenue in New York City. His father, John-Paul Buzard, is an accomplished and successful organ builder in Urbana, Illinois. Stephen's degrees are from Westminster Choir College (where I earned my MM in conducting a lonnnng time before he got there) and his MM from Yale. The tune name is spelled Hyfrydol, though. Great Welsh hymn!

[@HobbyOrganist]

And now St Thomas has a new organ.

[@georgemurphy2579]

Some great organs in the "City of Churches," Brooklyn, USA. Nice work from Mr. Buzard, too!

[@georgieleejrs8299]

I have played this piece many times and love to hear it by other people playing it as well!! hope to meet you someday and get a chance to play on the organ at my church (Edgefield Baptist Church) in Nashville Tennessee on a 1906 Moller pipe organ very historic!!

[@WhitneyHaverstock]

Oh wow, neat.

[@RobertEParr]

Beautifully played with great sensitivity

[@WhitneyHaverstock]

Right?? Dude really leaned in and put some *soul* into that hymn. 😮

[@johne6081]

"Try to remember the time of September" from the Fantasticks. I wonder if Harvey Schmidt adapted this consciously or by coincidence.

[@bedsimelissawowiling1228]

Beautiful!! Would you play Abide with me? Please...

[@julievanderleest]

I have noticed that several hymns can share the same tune as another. I have known this to be Come Thou Long Expected Jesus. I don’t recall knowing this one. Beautiful performance. I love pipe the organ. Not too many younger people do these days.

[@robertiacomacci]

Wow, you are GOOD!!!!! Meant to be played like you mean it, and you do!!!!

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

Buzard is one of the top young organists in the USA. His is a name to be watchedwww.saintjamescathedral.org/news/2016/06/05/st-james-cathedral-names-stephen-buzard-director-music

[@Goodchappy]

I could learn a lot from this.

[@kevlutu]

One of My favorite tunes and Hymn title. Beautifully done Thank You. I have liked this Hymn for many years, and never get tired of it. ( Hyfrydol ) GOD BLESS ALL kevlutu

[@organpipe8Lance]

Kevin - If you remember this was the first Hymn I learned how to play when I was around 9 years old and then became a Church Organist at the age of 13.... Stephen performs it so beautifully. GOD Bless everyone - Lance † ♫♪♫

[@kevlutu]

Lance, I do remember that fact, and yes Stephen plays this beautifully, I still love Your version along with the several hundreds of beautiful Hymns that You and God, has provided us over the years. God Bless, I will get around to sending You an e-mail one day soon. Kevin PS. just a few updates. Much as I love Your Viscount, there is nothing like a living breathing Pipe organ !!

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

Kevin it is a pipe organ there is not one electronic stop in the organ

[@RobertJohnsonmusic]

#musicvideo Fellow Organ Music Enthusiasts, this wonderful hymn arrangement of "Alleluia, Sing to Jesus" is rendered by organist Stephen Buzard, on the newly-restored instrument at Our Lady of Refuge Church in Brooklyn, New York, USA. Please 'like' and share on KZbin. Alleluia Sing To Jesus (Hydrydol written in 1830) played by Stephen Buzard

[@janusznabialek2471]

Amen!

[@WBFbySteefen]

I shared it on Facebook. I don't know if you can share on KZbin. Anyway, this was a hymn at Marble Collegiate Church today. (Now, I have to make sure organist, Ken Dake hasn't put this hymn on youtube, shhhh.)

[@roncoles1858]

Most enjoyable! Excellent Recording tech as well! Totally delightful and beautifully executed! Thanks for looking so professional! Superior playing!

[@kentuckylady2990]

Amazing

[@davidherman29]

[@hankaustin7091]

WOW!! excellent performance!

[@haljohnston1558]

That great Hymn tune " I vow to Thee" from The Anglican Hymn Book Well played and Thank you. especially on a Canadian Built Organ!

[@dieter1457]

Very nice melody. Good musician

[@jeffreybals4430]

Just amazing. Would love lessons from Stephen.

[@JustfineinChicago]

Where to begin....Loved the consistency of the tempo. You made a story of the hymn, meaning your interpretation of each verse combined gave colour to the overall hymn. The distance of feet from the pedal organ was very nice. I would love to hear you in concert.

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

Stephen Buzard is the organist now at St James Cathedral in Chicago

[@WhitneyHaverstock]

Jeez, it sounds like you know this stuff! 😅 That's awesome. 😁

[@chrisholley2954]

I agree, his registrations were awesome, and so was the interlude between the stanza ! Great job

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

Well-played, and what a pleasure to see someone smartly turned out! Inspirational! Thanks!

[@robertramsay5963]

You're playing the very first hymn I studied when I signed up for organ studies. Awesome.

[@WhitneyHaverstock]

Neat! Thats pretty neat. I like it. 👍

[@floydwatson1]

It is so nice to hear Stephen. I had purchased his CD "In Light or Darkness" a while back and was so impressed by his musicianship. It is a treat to see and hear him play again!

[@dougwillis1936]

Splendid hymn and magnificent pipe organ! Well done, Stephen!

[@elderrobertv.fullersr.1739]

Beautifully done I love the interlude.

[@daniela.hammond6041]

Very nicely articulated...good interlude before the final verse.

[@ronemeireles2816]

Wonderful!!

[@zachlafleur6651]

Stephen, an awesome rendition of a classic hymn tune that never gets old (there are a few different sets of lyrics set to this tune because it sounds so good)! As for that console, I have never seen a tilting tablet console with two sets of tabs above the manuals like that! However, you had your combination pistons set up to where you didn't have to flip tabs on and off while playing as this could he confusing the way it is designed. The only other organ that is similar is at Wanamaker's (Macy's) Central City Flagship Store in Philadelphia (their stop tabs are on tall side jambs and they have seven manuals between them)! Also, that swell manual appears too close to the tilting tablets to play on without hitting tablets unintentionally? However, with playing all on great and pedal, that isn't a problem. Anyhow, a good organ beats a great piano any day (just the smoothness of the music is so much nicer to listen to and sing to)!

[@carolnahigian9518]

love it! Andrew Neer does it Great Too!

[@CrstB]

Heavenly beautifull!

[@ianboard544]

[@garethifan1034]

[@llwyde1104]

Fine Welsh tune, of course!

[@felisterligwa]

🙏🙏❤❤❤

[@carscad]

Beautifully done, but I think the hymn tune is "Hyfrydol", not "Hydrydol" ???

[@tserkoslavjanskij]

+carscad You're indeed correct. Ralph Vaughan Williams included it in his Three preludes on Welch hymn tunes: (1) Bryn Calfaria; (2) Rhosymedre; (3) Hyfrydol.
