And Can It Be That I Should Gain? All Saints Church Oystermouth Swansea

[@brownmullins]

I love traditional hymns on organ; miss it in today's modern worship.

[@jlupfer]

Warmed this old Methodist heart.

[@si002]

Warmed this (probably older) Methodist heart ❤️😂 God bless 🙏

[@janetflier6192]

I love it when the organist doesn’t DRAG the hymn!! Great job!!!

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks for listening

[@ianjefferies6755]

As a Methodist and a church organist I have to say this is a fabulous rendition of this great hymn.

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks Ian.

My grandma was the organist at a local Methodist chapel and played all these hymns on the organ in the chapel from memory after over 60 years as organist and missed out verses that were not popular with the congregation. She was quite a character but loved by all. I have enjoyed hearing the old hymns and many happy memories came flooding back even though I cried through it all. Many thanks for the memories brought back to

[@RobCharles1981]

+David Sandbach Thank you very much David! :o)

[@wileyparker2429]

Beautiful and DISmundane! Heartfelt glorious! Pure excellence of music!

[@robertkawuma4242]

Glory belongs to God who taught this man of God to press that piano

[@pattydowdy8391]

Rob this is a beautiful hymn and you played it beautifully. You and your playing are such a real blessing in The Lord.

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks Patty!

[@brownmullins]

Master Charles, thank you so much for giving such rich worship. Rich in God's Word is everything.

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks for listening

[@Buf451]

Rob - This is wonderful; the memories it brings back of my days in Boys Brigade. "I woke, arose, and followed Thee." The words to this stirring hymn are very meaningful. God bless you, Rob, in your ministry of music. I do believe that the Holy Spirit is guiding you. - Stefan

[@johnfenner347]

Just Terrific !. Sheer Beauty Of Sound. Lovingly Played. Respects And Greetings From Scotland.

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks John!

[@trevortomah8508]

This music lifts the spirit 100% percent, mesmerized and immersed totally in the sound of the organ.

[@RobCharles1981]

Thank You!

[@MarthalieThurstonSachemPiper]

Bravo. Thank you for your ministry of music 🎶 AGO, USA

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks!

[@71superbee39]

Amazing love how can it be that thou my God hast died for me?

[@robharper1273]

Superb playing.

[@JamesEncliffe]

sound is fantastic from that location. The organ would have been originally voiced for the church ambience, and this position demonstrates that wonderfully. The sound near to the actual instrument is often far removed from that heard by the congregation.

[@Jeep192]

Truly awesome Rob, we sang this in church today and it is one of my favourites I love singing it as much as playing it. Thaks!

[@hloydwilliamsjr4971]

VERY PRECIOUS ROB!

[@RobCharles1981]

Thank you!

[@bankercop]

Another one of my all-time favorites but to a different tune than the one I'm accustomed to. Beautiful! Thank, Rob! Charles

[@kejcolley]

Absolutely bostin, Rob! Both in playing and chosen registration this was excellent! This hymn's in my Top Ten all-time favourites - there's at least another two Charles Wesley hymns there too!

[@oldbear52]

Positively marvelous, this video, Rob! Thank you for sharing, sir!!!

[@prayerbookcatholic147]

you are doing something truly valuable and precious. keep it up!

[@RobCharles1981]

Thank you Terry!

[@007vauxhall]

Great sound Rob, nice jolly hymn this. Enjoyed it. :-)

[@wileyparker2429]

So profoundly glorious!

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks!

[@mutebisamuel8117]

Excellent play. Am listening in from Uganda

[@RobCharles1981]

Great - many thanks!

[@barrywebber7443]

Proper good Rob. It's a joy and privilege to still hear those wonderful gospel hymn's played by a wonderful organist. How can I explain? Listening to you , even though it seems old fashioned to some people is an absolute pleasure to listen to the old ones.which to me are best.. I'm so grateful to you for the influence you've given me to keep the lord and holy spirit inside me.( In the beginning was the word and the word was with God) You are an absolute pleasure and privilege to be able to listen to as a form of worship, having found the lord after many years astray. Excellent X Billy Bray from Cornwall has been a tremendous read as well as the Bible..... Billy Bray the Cornish Tin miner who got saved from alcoholism and built load's of chapel's in Cornwall." There's Power Power wonder working power in the precious blood of the lamb" Keep up the good work Rob . You are still a great comfort/inspiration.

[@RobCharles1981]

Thank You!

[@iand4380]

wonderful!!, well played

[@RobCharles1981]

Thank you!

[@RobCharles1981]

@JamesEncliffe I know James its amazing people don't realise what organ there is in All Saints when you hear the Organ in real life you just have to hear the power of the organ! Recently some of the stops have been re voiced to make them sound louder on what they should be!

Many thanks Jacob! :o)

[@ernestmskinner]

Nicely played. There's nothing like a Charles Wesley hymn.

[@RobCharles1981]

Thank You nope that's nothing with that either! ;o)

[@judithheckert7805]

Simply beautiful! Thank you for sharing your gift for playing the organ. Its fascinating to watch and heart-stirring to hear the lovely hymns.

[@RobCharles1981]

Many thanks Judith! :-)

[@RobCharles1981]

Many thanks! :o)

[@RobCharles1981]

Cheers!

[@spencerhauck690]

Always fascinating of how these types of instruments work. How the workers of that organ was able to stuff all those pipes in a small space like that and how each individual pipe has their own note. The biggest organs I've seen are about the size of a small house and how they shake the ground just like this old school conocer is just crazy

[@RobCharles1981]

Indeed!

[@johnuhr-henry9508]

Great work Rob.A fabulous organ sound and a great Organist Rob.

[@RobCharles1981]

john uhr-henry Thanks John!

[@Bevoin1970]

Maybe one day Rob, you can make a video which explains all the workings of the Organ, especially all those Knobs that I see, plus the three different level key boards too, I'd be interested to know. :-)

[@RobCharles1981]

@007vauxhall Cheers Paul great sound as well captures the fine sound of the Conker Organ! :-)

[@helgabenshoff3011]

[@jinsokkraybill418]

Rob. this is my favorite hymn of all time. You play it magnificently. My only question is will Rev. Arthur let you record you playing this with the congregation? Thanks for your dedication and your service, not only to us, but to God!

[@RobCharles1981]

@kentwesterly Many Thanks Kent :-)

[@JuniorFan08]

Very nice!

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks!

[@janetflier6192]

I know this hymn as, "Amazing Love". I LOVE the tempo! Congregations have a tendency to drag hymns.

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks Janet.

[@commonwealthpeople]

The name of this great Wesley hymn is " And Can it Be". The anthem of Methodism.

[@RobCharles1981]

@Jeep192 Many thanks for watching I'm pleased you enjoyed this :-)

[@kejcolley]

Rob, I'll send you my full Top Ten (probably tomorrow) I'm off now to get ready to go on shift.

[@RobCharles1981]

@Bevoin1970 Cheers Paul maybe ile do something like that soon! :-)

[@lesliechrol-frolowicz3480]

Another splendid rendition! I should love to know if any CDs are available with these recordings.

[@RobCharles1981]

Many thanks - not at the moment.

[@RobCharles1981]

@cornwall59 typo error *fine I see your on the Gin! :-)

[@Diapason12345]

Brilliant,as usual, but I think you were a bit ambitious with the speed and a typical congregation! :-p Keep the Awesome tunes coming! :)

[@jinsokkraybill418]

i will be taking organ lessons from gordon turk! he is a famous organist from the new jersey area

[@robertramsay5963]

Those are lovely sounding reeds you added for the third stanza. Which ones were they? And then you knocked one of them off? Why? Did it sound overpowering to you? I enjoy your clean playing - very inspiring.

[@RobCharles1981]

Thank you I think that was Cornopean on the swell if I remmeber and no the soundn't over power me.

[@ned26run16]

wow

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks!

[@bankercop]

I stand corrected, Rob! It is the same tune. Guess my hearing is getting worse! Sorry! Charles

[@tedrickenator]

Good tempo - the risk of playing this hymn too slowly is the congregation will loose air support and not sing strongly - I prefer the tempo brighter with this hymn if the congregation is familiar with it.

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks - can't understand you thou.

[@richardmills9964]

Must be late for lunch

[@RobCharles1981]

XD

[@yeety1208]

Today I was at an event with a modern worship band, and don't get me wrong the band was amazing, but they did play some traditional hymns and the way they played them just didn't work, especially the way they played this one, just didn't sound right, wrong speed and chords.

[@richardmills9964]

Nice organ registrations, but a metronome required

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks but why the short blunt comment on the latter? Why don't you post your version?

[@joecollins8387]

pipe organs rule

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks.
