Children of the Heavenly Father - Swedish Hymn - Berlin Reed Organ

[@ReedOrgans]

I was at a funeral yesterday where I played this one, then when I came home I recorded the video. I find that it is a very lovely melody.

[@karmacounselor]

Thank you!

[@Observing87]

This is one of the hymns I have instructed be sung at my funeral.

This was my grandmothers favorite hymn played on the exact same organ she had in her house. Yesterday marked two months since her death. Thank you for this wonderful rendition, I brought me to tears

[@ReedOrgans]

Thank you for sharing, and my condolences to you. This was one my my late grandmother's favorites too.

[@rttipton]

Absolutely beautiful! Your playing and the sound of the organ.

[@jonmustang]

Wonderful & beautiful

[@timtyler2715]

Wow! I just looked at all your restoration photos. You did a marvelous job. That organ sounds amazing. Of course, you're a great player. Looking forward to more from you as I start my own rebuild on an Estey Chapel from 1892. Thanks for all your hard work and willingness to share.

[@ReedOrgans]

Thanks Father Dan, this has always been a favourite of mine.

[@habeillardnunes]

I love this sound, the music is very inspiring and you have a true gift. Hopefully we can continue to see and hear this music coming from heaven. Thank you very much. From Portugal. God bless you.

[@ReedOrgans]

Thanks Steven! :) I'm happy you like it.

[@ReedOrgans]

Thanks Craig!

[@leyburnhealeyman]

I see you've found something new to many of us, including me,a very relaxing hymn,thanks to you of course. I've shared this with a Swedish friend maybe she knows it already.:))

[@ReedOrgans]

Wow... thanks for sharing that! However, this is not the organ was asking about. I had done some tuning on this organ in 2008 and again in 2011. It needs a going over again soon, although it is leveling out from the amount of playing it gets.

[@TheKeyboardguy5012]

Breathtaking, as always :-D

[@ReedOrgans]

Thanks!

[@HenrikBergpianorganist]

Sung at almost every baptism in Sweden to this day!

[@fantastiskchow8830]

I hear God through this.

[@ReedOrgans]

Thanks! The sound of the organ is starting to require a tuning soon, there are many notes that are starting to get a little off. Regardless, it is still lots of fun to play :)

[@ReedOrgans]

Thank you Zoltán!

[@anderszettergren4302]

Great.

[@fathergraves]

I don't know this one, but it is indeed lovely, and wonderfully played!

[@SylvainGuinet]

Thanks for the reference to the cyberhymnal site. Observing87 also set me onto that. Truly a beautiful hymn. - Larry

[@behsstlc]

Thanks for the info. - Larry

[@ReedOrgans]

Thanks Larry! They won't fit on one reply, but the cyberhymnal site have the same lyrics as my hymnbook

[@behsstlc]

Another beautiful tune played very beautifully. Could you possibly post the English lyrics? - Larry

[@ReedOrgans]

Thanks! I'm sure she will know it, I can almost guarantee it :)

[@KornettenJoel]

I've left the Swedish church, in favour of Catholicism. The only thing that makes me miss the Church of Sweden are how amazing some of their hymns are, and it makes me sad the Catholics don't use them.

[@Observing87]

You can find the words at cyberhymnal, which will not let me post a direct link here.

[@leyburnhealeyman]

She did!!! :))
