Guide Me O Tune Cwm Rhondda: All Saints Church Oystermouth Swansea

[@kayecampbell5660]

This was my father’s favorite hymn !I can still hear his beautiful tenor voice echoing off the church walls! Thanks for a walk down memory lane!

[@RobCharles1981]

That's awesome!

[@donaldhooper3064]

Awesome. I liked watching the footwork on the pedals. Looks like the feet were busier than the hands. Just kidding. It was great and a great hymn as well. Don H Ocala Fl USA

[@RobCharles1981]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@donaldhooper3064]

Thank you for your response - much appreciated.@@RobCharles1981

[@daviahollinsfromdeedeetick2567]

I could just listen to this hymn in different versions for hours.

[@RobCharles1981]

good.

[@krisjustin3884]

An awesome hymn that still speaks to us from the powerful Welsh revivals that shook the nation.

[@RobCharles1981]

Many thanks!

[@elsie911]

The true definition of a organ player is that of a swan. Cool, calm and collected from the waist up, but peddling like mad with feet! Especially like the push of the button at 1:43 to really amp up the sound to ensure all grown Welsh men emit a year from their eye from pride!!!!

[@RobCharles1981]

Got it one! ;-)

[@dgeraintr]

When I tread the verge of Jordan, bid mine anxious fears subside Death of death, and Hell’s destruction, land me safe on Canaan’s side. Williams, Pantycelyn. What words, what poetry, what music, what playing!

[@RobCharles1981]

Thank You!

[@salvation9868]

He is forever leading and guiding. We bless His holy name.

[@vivekuppin1633]

A beautiful hymn that truly portrays the need of God's guidance as we journey through this world.

[@RobCharles1981]

Many thanks!

[@almighty.8863]

This is AMAZING Sir! Love from Indonesia 🙏❤

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks

[@davidgriffiths8496]

Although all born in London with a name like ours, Griffiths, we just had to have the greatest Welsh Hymn ever "Guide me O thou great Jehovah" at the funerals!!

[@RobCharles1981]

You can't get any better than that!

[@tonyfussy5720]

Love the old school calculator watch! Love the song too ❤️🙏

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks!

[@jamesdittmar9263]

Anyone who gives you a thumbs down is just being a troll. You have great talent Rob, please keep your majestic organ playing coming!

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks James!

[@CluckEdwin]

Indeed, at first glance Rob seems as daft as a brush, and Welsh to boot! But he can sure belt out hymns to the Glory of God. Very skilled organist! Keep 'em coming Rob!

[@Federer935]

Excellent - played with all the majesty that this hymn demands. Impressive !

[@RobCharles1981]

Many thanks! :-)

[@folahan]

Wonderful, wonderful wonderful

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks.

[@Winspur1982]

I am not Welsh, although my grandpa was born in Birmingham. This piece speaks to me still. Walgreens pharmacies in some American cities are playing classical music, including organ pieces, now. But I doubt they will ever play this one, since they seem to be afraid of anything composed after 1870.

[@RobCharles1981]

Thats cool

[@tipsanders]

Such a treat to see the foot work on the pedals! Since my 'new birth' in 1971 I've never thought a 'dancing foot nor a praying knee' grew on the same leg....LOL, but you've certainly blessed us with your enjoyment of these fine instruments. I only play by ear but I have been for several years trying to bring some of the great old hymns back into our Baptist Church here in southeastern Tennessee, USA. Thanks for all the videos and hymns!

[@e.conboy4286]

Tip Sanders PLEASE! PLEASE! Let us sing the old hymns we so rarely sing now: There are so many::God of our fathers, O God our help in ages past. (Under the shadow of Thy throne); We blossom, and flourish like leaves on the tree, and wither and perish but NOUGHT changes Thee..) (These are just snippets of the hymns as you know)Our hearts and souls long for this spiritual food. I’m 82+y/o and counting on you! I will keep you in my prayers as I do our nations leaders.God has given you a precious talent, (and a magnificent organ). May He bless you always. [e-mail]

[@theobsr]

A great hymn and played so wonderful and majestically. Very uplifting for my soul. Much appreciated. All the way from South Africa.

Your Welcome!

There is no comparison between your playing Rob and the other person who seems to be the crowd favourite from the bus. Younarebfarbandvawaynahead of her. Magnificent is what I say

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks John :-)

[@kejcolley]

Bostin, Rob! I hope that Richard (the organist at the church I'm preaching at on Sunday) plays it with as much drive!

[@Federer935]

Back again for another treat! A perfect tonic during lockdown. Stay safe and keep posting.

[@aidanfk19967]

You played this very well. I feel the bass pedal was set to stops that were quite low and rumbled, especially when you went low on the pedals on the last verse. very well done. classic tune that i played on Sunday since Wales won the rugby world cup.

[@RobCharles1981]

+Aidan Kirkwood Many thanks Aidan - when your here live in the Church it's some experience! Yep I had this hymn too at my own Church this past Sunday as well! :o)

Hi Rob, you are impressive. I love your footwork. They are adorable. I'll appreciate it if you can suggest a few combinations of stops for church hymn registration. That is, for swell, Great and Chorus positive manuals in a Praeludium gallanti organ. Thank you

Hi Rob, it’s me again. Rob, when you are rehearsing, do you ever let it rip in terms of volume? I so love organ music, this hymn in particular that is so rousing and moving. One feels God’s divine presence deep in the soul with each listen. Brilliantly rendered!

[@RobCharles1981]

I do from time to time!

[@31Alden]

@@RobCharles1981 Oh, AWESOME! I’d love to hear that sometime! From your hands to God’s ears ... or perhaps it is vice versa. Divinely inspired, either way.

[@StellaIrisandTess]

Rob, why do you disable the ratings? I'm trying to give you a thumbs up, here. :)

Because I had some silly people obsessed with the "Thumbs Down" Button I may re-enable it in future videos! :o) x
