Holy God, we praise Thy Name --- Faith of our Fathers concert

[@JCHjr]

Standing next to my Mom when I was a little boy, holding her hand while she sang this after mass at Blessed Sacrament Church in Baltimore, Maryland. I'm 69 now and dear God I miss her so! This memory is so precious to me and so beautiful!

[@mantsebomotsoanakaba1147]

Lost my mom in January. The world looks and feels different.

[@tamiasthechipmunk]

My Holy God, I praise your name with every fiber of my being. I praise you for all you have created. I praise you for the gift of life you have given to me and to all living beings. I praise you for the love and mercy you show to me in my achievements and failures. My faith in you is absolute, my lord. I strive to be a better version of myself with free will and self-determination you have bestowed to all human beings so I may better serve you in your goodly work. Though Jesus Christ. Amen.

[@trkx444]

WOW....this hymn really moved me. I believe legions of angels in the angelic realm joined in with this choir to give praise and glory to God. Blessed be God forever 🙏🏻

[@johnnyM809]

Another great hymn you hardly ever hear now.

[@jenniferoldiges9934]

Sang at my Dad's funeral. Beautiful hymn

[@roystonboodoo7525]

Keep playing it, somehow it picks up. Bing Crosby's song.. The spirit of Christmas (ie. it's not the things you do at ...), was hardly ever heard/ played, I found it way back, played it alot, then started hearing it. Most Christmas seasons it was never heard.

[@bernie.fitzpatrick7948]

Oooh how My heart jumped with joy and my tears came. I love you my Lord and my God. Greetings from New Zealand🇳🇿💕👍...Just Beautiful😪👋🙏📿😊💖

[@mmmoroi]

This is one of the best performance of this one of the most beautiful hyms of all, whether in English or German. These Irish singers really know what they are doing.

[@roystonboodoo7525]

[@frfidelisudeme-abasiudouso1801]

[@angelwings1087]

Amen 💜.. too that ... we must pray 🙏for our church and one another...Jesus is so MERCIFUL GOD BLESS YOU ... CATHOLIC STRONG 💜💞❤🧡💛💕💙💚💜

[@pravoslavn]

They are no longer singing it because it does not fit the "worship model" of the "Entertainment Church." And Vatican 2, the great degredation of the 1960s, cast out everything old and classical in the Roman Catholic practice and modeled its "new church" on one of the protestant "worship services." That is when I made my way down the street to the Orthodox Church, where they do not change things every day to suit the whims. AGREE - This is one of the FINEST of the old hymns !

[@leticiatann1281]

I WAS BORN CATHOLIC AND PREFER THE OLD TRADITION ,VERY SOLEMN ,REAL ADORATION OF GOD , NOW I AM VERY SAD, YOU GO TO CHURCH WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE IS TALKING LOUD , ALL GOSSIP THAT I COULD NOT TALK NOR PRAY TO GOD , THESE IS SO WHEN I RETIRED TO THE PHILIPPINES, ITS A REMINISCENT WHEN PEOPLE MADE THE TEMPLE OF GOD INTO A MARKET ,THEN JESUS WAS SO ANGRY AND HE HAD THROWN THE TABLES . THEY REMOVED THE WEARING VEIL OF WOMEN . NOW IPREFER TO STAY QUIETLY IN MY ROOM AND HEAR HOLY MASS ON TV AND COME TO CHURCH ONLY TO RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION. IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE USA , ITS STILL SOLEMN AND AMERICANS STILL PRACTICE THE SOLEMNITY OF THE HOLY MASS AND THE HOLY EUCHARIST. I HOPE THE POPE AND ARCHBISHOP OF THE PHILIPPINES WILL SEE AND READ THIS . PEOPLE IN THE PHILIPPINES MAYBE TOLD ABOUT THE PROPER BEHAVIOR IN CHURCH , MAYBE ITS IGNORANCE AND NEEDED PROPER GUIDANCE .

[@inesdeerausquin5658]

@@leticiatann1281 I'm sure there are still places in the Philippines where you can hear the Tridentine Mass. Not least, the SSPX has been out there for years -- I know for sure they say Mass in Manila, as well as Iloilo and a couple of other spots. Look them up on fsspx.asia

[@rsmyth75]

What a loss!!! I so sick of the church music sung at Holy Mass today! LETS BRING IT BACK!!!

[@tonywatson4979]

I can never get enough of this recording or for that matter, the choir. To me the sound is magnificent and would be very difficult to improve. The hymn too is a glorious set of words of praise. There appear to be two recordings by this choir, one is a smaller group, the second is of course this one. All 'voices' are excellent but I am partial to the good strong bass voice in evidence here.

[@jameswilson2545]

We sing it all the time in Fort Worth. Mention it to your choir masters if you aren't and wish to.

[@carmensalgado8975]

[@paulmartello1741]

This is the actual hymn. Only the first verse is sung, they modified the other two: Holy God, we praise Thy Name; Lord of all, we bow before Thee! All on earth Thy scepter claim, All in Heaven above adore Thee; Infinite Thy vast domain, Everlasting is Thy reign. Hark! the loud celestial hymn Angel choirs above are raising, Cherubim and seraphim, In unceasing chorus praising; Fill the heavens with sweet accord: Holy, holy, holy, Lord. Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit, Three we name Thee; While in essence only One, Undivided God we claim Thee; And adoring bend the knee, While we own the mystery.

[@bobinobaker]

Te Deum Laudamus - by Ignaz Franz, Original: Grosser Gott wir loben Dich - Herr, wir preisen Deine Stärke, a german catholic song

[@njabulonzimande2893]

Ho-ly God, we praise Thy Name; Lord of all, we bow be-fore Thee! All on earth Thy scep-ter claim, All in heav-en a-bove a-dore Thee; In-fin-ite Thy vast do-main, Ev-er-last-ing is Thy reign. Hark! the loud ce-les-tial hymn An-gel choirs a-bove are rais-ing, Cher-you-bim and ser-a-phim, In un-ceas-ing chor-us prais-ing; Fill the heav-ens with sweet ac-cord: Ho-ly, ho-ly, ho-ly, Lord. Lo! the a-pos-tol-ic train Join the sa-cred Name to hal-low; Pro-phets swell the loud re-frain, And the white-robed mar-tyrs fol-low; And from morn to set of sun, Through the Church the song goes on. Ho-ly Fa-ther, Ho-ly Son, Ho-ly Spir-it, Three we name Thee; While in es-sense on-ly One, Un-di-vid-ed God we claim Thee; And a-dor-ing bend the knee, While we own the mys-ter-y.

This hymn represents the universal Christian faith believed by all branches of the church, Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Protestant, and most Anabaptist. Praise be forever to our One God eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!

Protestants or anabaptists don't belong to any branch of holy Mother church. The clues in the name...protestant

[@dannyaustinmatanjang524]

May I know who is the arranger of this song? Need to purchase the SATB.

[@12dudette]

if only Catholicism would return to its original teachings, its great reverence, faith and sacred LAtin liturgy--a God-centered religion; not the Novus ordo -- so disappointing human-centered---the divine sacrifice of Our Lord celebrated in Mass is treated as a "supper"...ughhhh....

[@12dudette]

it's crossed out---- "a God centered religion not the Novus ordo" -----

[@12dudette]

then we are suffering from disobedient bishops and clergy who refuse to properly catechize its laity, damaging the institution of the church-i agree true catholicism cannot change or be damaged but the temporal visible institution can be damaged

a.m. Fiddlefaddle We are "suffering", in some circles, but this is nothing new. Don't forget, there was a Judas Iscariot among the original twelve, too. There will always come a betrayal of Christ and His Church from within, even from among those closest to Him. But Our Blessed Lord has assured us, "the gates of hell shall not prevail against [His] Church" [Matt 16:18]. Note that Jesus did not promise that hell would not try to prevail against His Church, He gave only the assurance that it would not succeed. It hasn't, it cannot and it never will, for Christ Himself is always present with His Church in the Most Holy Eucharist. Many condemn the Church, on the basis of the faults, sins and misdeed of its members, calling it false, it sinful, hypocritical and defiled because of a minority of unfaithful or sinful priests, bishops and even popes. The Church is Holy, Catholic (universal) and One, NOT because of any one of its members, priests, bishops, popes or even its saints, but only because of its Lord, Jesus Christ, who is Holy, and His Truth which the Church faithfully proclaims throughout the ages, for the past more than twenty centuries.

[@12dudette]

absolutely right! so all those little judases among the jesuits and the freemasons who have infiltrated the church will only be fleas on a dog ultimately. i just so miss the open expression of the magisterium, and the faithful practice of the latin mass whose liturgy has so much power it has been the target of the devil throughout years. michael davies lectures on the years of henry vii, cranmer, the uprisings, document a portion of that in a most inspiring way---
