Love Divine, All Love Excelling, from the Royal Albert Hall

If praising God on earth be so sweet what joy then awaits us in heaven…

Truly, this Wonderful, ; so greatly hunger for and anticipate the Heavenly One!

[@wrightomolola6076]

I remember when we sang this song after a choral competition, that day, that moment I promised myself not to miss heaven. It was as if we were already in heaven singing cos the goosebumps on my skin that day made me feel how the Amgels sing over in heaven.

I absolutely agree with all those who say why change Charles Wesley’s words just for the sake of “modernising” it’s the same sacrilege as changing Shakespeare. But what a great tune is Blaenwern, I love the way it rises on the last four lines of each verse,.

[@damianryall422]

Beautiful, spirit filled praise to our King of Kings, our Lord Jesus. Thank you Jesus for all you have done.

I think Charles Wesley now in heaven must be very pleased to see this hymn of his being sung by such a multitude of people…

[@davidmorrison2739]

I suspect he has better things to do than watch what is happening on earth. But I agree with the sentiment!

[@leonietaylor7054]

We must praise,Him with pure hearts and sincerity!!

[@AllenOstrom]

Oh I do so agree with you. The "old English" is more beautiful & moving than the modern version. Love the old versions more. If it ain't broke, DONT FIX IT!!!

[@barbarasabin7611]

Why change the words of Charles Wesley? Pure unbounded love thou art Love that is free and not bound

[@karenwood1364]

Yes why?

[@Robaxca]

So agree. This is a most fabulous hymn and the original words are perfect; they do not need to be 'modernised'.

[@srelizabethmaryhermit6450]

To change Wesley's magnificent poetry is an abomination.

I have issues with it to Changing from the original has become order of the day now for new composers

Why you worrying about semantics ? Whatever the words the holy spirit is present in it's majesty and glory peace -))

[@tonyeiyeimo93]

What a great hymn of heaven gifted to men, lifting hearts with eternal joy and bringing hope to many over the years! Nothing is really strong enough to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus!

[@julievanderleest]

Man, I wish I was British and could attend this. This sounds incredible! I don’t think I’ve seen so many people singing and worshiping together in one place. Maybe at a Billy Graham crusade but I don’t think that even had such music. Now days if there’s a time of singing the old hymns, it would be a crowd aged 70+. Went to a gospel concert with my mom a few years ago and I felt like the only millennial in the room.

[@MiguelQuienComoEl]

Im 29 and I love the old hymns, I’d love to hear original ones like this in Spanish, and you’re right most Christians don’t like the older hymns but there some like us. Guide me o thou great redeemer one of my favorites. :)

[@postwar46]

There are so many great songs, but a song which praises Jesus Christ is the undying monument indeed of the power of God Almighty delivered to earth through Him. Nothing else measures to the fullness of God's wonderful paternal love .

Timeless hymn. Scriptural sound. No need to change it.

[@stuartofblyth]

For those who prefer to sing the authorised version - have at it: Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heaven to earth come down, Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart. Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit, Into every troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit; Let us find Thy promised rest. Take away our love of sinning; Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its Beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. Come, almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy grace receive; Suddenly return, and never, Never more Thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray, and praise Thee, without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love. Finish then Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation, Perfectly restored in Thee: Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise!

This is from a whole evening of hymns by all the joined Wesh Choirs and others of a celebration of over a thousand Wesh voices.the festival use to take place every four years. The last time I went I was so moved I was reduced to tears!

[@marianandrade38]

It's actually from London, not many Welsh singers there actually. Prom praise. Happens every year. We'll be having it this Saturday again. You can join the livestream.

[@gh5363]

You're confusing this with the Festival of Welsh Male Choirs, which is indeed a massed choirs concert at the Royal Albert Hall. This is not that. The singing by the entire Hall of Blaenwern from that occasion, ( recorded and viewable here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2e4i3lulKeEgsk ) is better, because (i) they haven't messed about with the original Wesley text, as they've done here; and (ii) because the Royal Albert Hall organ is more than capable of leading this magnificent hymn without the excessively twiddly distraction coming from this orchestral arrangement. All the singers performing here deserve a medal for being able to follow it. My two-penneth worth, but each to their own I suppose.
