Eternal Ruler of the Ceaseless Round (Tune: Song 1 - 4vv) [with lyrics for congregations]

"Eternal Ruler of the Ceaseless Round" was written by John Wright Chadwick, an American Unitarian minister in 1864.
The tune is 'Song 1', written by Orlando Gibbons as the tune for the first hymn in 'The Hymnes and Songs of the Church' to words by the Puritan George Wither in 1623. In all, 90 songs appear in this book but there is music for only 17 of them: all by Gibbons.
It is performed here by the Choir of Keble College, Oxford.

It's lovely to hear the sound of a traditional organ rather than the modern worship band
