Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness - Washington National Cathedral

[@lindabillingsley7108]

This was played at my wedding during communion!! Love this hymn so much. My son at his wedding had this hymn.

1 Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness, leave the gloomy haunts of sadness; come into the daylight's splendour, there with joy thy praises render unto him whose grace unbounded hath this wondrous banquet founded: high o'er all the heavens he reigneth, yet to dwell with thee he deigneth. 2 Now I sink before thee lowly, filled with joy most deep and holy, as with trembling awe and wonder on thy mighty works I ponder: how, by mystery surrounded, depth no mortal ever sounded, none may dare to pierce unbidden secrets that with thee are hidden. 3 Sun, who all my life dost brighten, light, who dost my soul enlighten, joy, the sweetest heart e'er knoweth, fount, whence all my being floweth, at thy feet I cry, my Maker, let me be a fit partaker of this blessed food from heaven, for our good, thy glory, given. 4 Jesus, Bread of Life, I pray thee, let me gladly here obey thee; never to my hurt invited, be thy love with love requited: from this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep its treasure; through the gifts thou here dost give me, as thy guest in heaven receive me.

The organist, the voices, keep up. From Uganda.

Washington National Cathedral has an attentive and well voiced congregation. Its chorus and choirs perform magnificently. Beauty is another theme at this Cathedral Church of Saints Peter and Paul. Heavenly.

Passage to a heavenly realm is invited, inspired by this glorious hymn.

Great singing, and organ. I love great hymns sung with the pipe organ. Grew up with this.

I'm a self taught organist I love playing chorals on the pipe organ

[@KevinMiller1992]

I first heard this hymn at Bishop Shaw's funeral. Very emotional.

This song was uploaded in 2011 but when was it sung? I think I can hear my dad singing but he passed already.
