God of Grace and God of Glory (Tune: Westminster Abbey - 4vv) [with lyrics for congregations]

"God of Grace and God of Glory" was written by Baptist minister Harry Emerson Fosdick for the opening of the non-denominational Riverside Church in New York, built for him by John D Rockerfeller in February 1931.
The tune is 'Westminster Abbey', composed in 1680 by Henry Purcell. Fosdick had actually written it specifically to fit the tune 'Regent Square' by Henry Smart.
It is performed here by the Columbia Collegiate Chorale.

Thanks for this. Sang this at my churches today and coincidentally it was uploaded today. It really does speak well to today's readings. We used the tune CWM Rhondda

We're thinking about finding a Cwm Rhondda version and making a video for that.

Amen 🙏🏽

I am used to singing this to the tune, "Cwm Rhondda", which makes it militant and boisterous. However, the tune you chose makes the sobering poem, majestic and powerful. Perfect for our perilous times, as world history advances, if you can call it that, in these pre-Armageddon days. Jesus Christ is Lord. :--}>

I agree❤. It sounds solemn and prayerful in this tune.

I know this hymn and i know the tune but first time hearing it sung to Westminster Abbey. Sounds like Christ Is Made The Sure Foundation.
