Now The Green Blade Riseth

[@royfairs9022]

Rarely recognised or played that often. Superb singing.

[@followeroftheway8454]

Love it. Always loved this hymn. Thank you for posting it on this channel. 😊

[@Zephaniah3verse17]

Wow! I have lain in the dark earth of guilt and condemnation for about six years... my heart has been wintry, now love is coming again at last. This is marvellous.

[@lordrosemount]

This was my baptismal hymn, selected by a dear friend who I miss very much, on account of the baptism taking place on Easter Sunday.

[@lornamackenzie343]

I sang this morning in Church on Easter Sunday. It has always been one of my favourite hymns !

[@PhilipDay]

It's a beautiful tune & beautifully sung in the video IMHO - great one for Easter I agree - there is even a German version - "Korn dass in die Erde" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqvFZqGdiKmbhJY

[@michaelhart4697]

Beautiful timeless hymn!

[@PhilipDay]

I love the harmony in this presentation.

[@craigwagstrom5952]

This is far and away my favorite Easter hymn.

[@CC-sq1kf]

I've always loved this hymn especially, it is absolutely gorgeous.

[@matthewakian2]

Just heard it for the first time... beautiful!

[@scottkinne9760]

Absolutely lovely

[@samuelredmond7902]

This is my first time hearing this on songs of praise beautiful

[@turkey3gwiddle]

My favorite hymn!

[@StuttgarterAdvents-Singen1971]

We'll sing the German version of this song next Sunday. I'm glad I found such an excellent and touching interpretation of the original song!

[@PhilipDay]

Ganz Gut - Korn Das In Die Erde Ich glaube - I recorded this song from Songs Of Praise in 2013 here in Australia - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqvFZqGdiKmbhJY for a German Version - vielleicht konnen wir dein Lied anhoren. auch :-)

[@StuttgarterAdvents-Singen1971]

@@PhilipDay Vielen Dank! Diese deutsche Version gefällt mir leider nicht so :-( Mal sehen, ob wir eine Aufnahme machen können ...

[@PhilipDay]

@@StuttgarterAdvents-Singen1971 Ich freue mich darauf, dann den Gesang aus Stuttgart zu hören :-)

[@PraiseAmongNations]

Absolutely peaceful! Happy Easter! Greetings from Hong Kong, China!

[@davidbroughton9568]

What a beautiful collection of voices.

[@peterlynch2193]

We sang this when I was in a choir, 31 yrs ago! An amazing song.

[@PhilipDay]

Just listening to this again during Easter 2020, the harmony is exquisite - a beautiful rendition in a lovely English setting

[@patsparks3500]

Philip Day it certainly is exquisite!

[@PhilipDay]

@@patsparks3500 The harmony & the reverb from the church is just beautiful - can listen again & again to this song. Reminds me of Kings College Cambridge - as good as certainly. The British are fortunate to have such a rich heritage of such beautiful places of worship to sing in.

[@patsparks3500]

Philip Day it certainly is a hymn I never tire of! We are very fortunate indeed!

[@philippowell3320]

Who is the arrangement by? Thanks.

[@mariaowen5022]

i love this song!

[@ItIsYourMom]

Remembering Laura Rico, a fine Christian woman who played piano at our church - this was a favorite of hers.

[@worldserviceradio]

`Wonderful!

[@jacklynazure689]

Beautifull.

[@aprilbrowne9207]

I have to sing this.

[@marthaclery126]

Favorite song

[@PhilipDay]

Its Hanbury Church in Worcestershire (www.hanburychurch.org) from some English people below www.hanburychurch.org/ I thought someone had mentioned Rugby School but cannot find it. Looks like a school choir.

[@jessicaeastwell4765]

Can't be 100% sure, but the uniform looks like Rugby to me (went to another school in the area)

[@ccarterglass]

Now the green blade rises from the buried grain, Wheat that in the dark earth many years has lain; Love lives again, that with the dead has been: Love is come again, like wheat that springs up green. In the grave they laid Him, Love Whom we had slain, Thinking that He’d never wake to life again, Laid in the earth like grain that sleeps unseen: Love is come again, like wheat that springs up green. Up He sprang at Easter, like the risen grain, He that for three days in the grave had lain; Up from the dead my risen Lord is seen: Love is come again, like wheat that springs up green. When our hearts are saddened, grieving or in pain, By Your touch You call us back to life again; Fields of our hearts that dead and bare have been: Love is come again, like wheat that springs up green.

[@John12Wayne]

It's springeth

[@ringeradam4575]

You used the modern version tho ._.

[@Stai2012]

@Klara Andow: Aaactually, in *my* church, it's neither 'springs up' nor 'springeth', but "arising". Love is come again, like wheat arising green. Because "thgreen" is ew. And we say "many days" has lain, not many years, because we are actual farmers who know how these things work. And we still use "wintry" in the first line of the fourth stanza, because poetry. Because honey badger don't care, and neither do us Lutherans. So there.

[@rosiebowers1671]

Same in my church ("arising", "many days" and "wintry"); not Lutheran though. It's my favorite hymn, but generally I have to stop singing before the end else I might start crying (yeah, I'm a wimp).

[@pabuckie]

Beautiful choir voices...wish we knew who they were? Would love to hear other pieces by them.

[@MVHS85]

Ye Sons and Daughters was my favorite Easter Hymn...till I had the privilege of sings this at Mass once.... Co-equals perhaps..... "Is Risen Today" being number two......

[@MVHS85]

the lyrics are so powerful....they beg to be just drank in....

[@zjoshuac4373]

We sang a song that had this tune in bible camp.

[@corneliuscesario7336]

B E A U T I F U L !!!!!!!

[@davidmcfie7894]

Who is the choir

[@jugghayd]

I'd been trying to to figure out what arrangement this is. It's the Simon Lindley arrangement.

[@ccarterglass]

Quite lovely! What church and choir is this?

[@PhilipDay]

Hi - unsure - it was recorded a year or 2 back from "Songs of Praise", a BBC Production rebroadcast here in Australia on the ABC

[@51394547]

Just ask the BBC and they will tell you.

[@sugarchocolateslim80]

TBH Dem gurlz doe for real.

[@robinblair1591]

Makaya McCraven

[@jeffersonumc7956]

Beautiful hymn! I would love to find a download of this video to attach to my streaming service on Sunday. Is it available anywhere for purchase to use in this way? Thanks

[@PhilipDay]

Just download it from here - It's from Songs of Praise back in about 2013 - you could check with them if you like - doubt they will be bothered unless for commercial purposes then you would definitely need to.

[@suzannemiller5828]

Actually Maria could sing this. And the school choir. It’s pretty.

[@Paschalboy]

Nice sound, especially the womens section.. Not sure about ending it in the major but otherwise nice.

[@tinkaluisa8540]

+Randall Rice Aw, what's the matter with a Picardy third at Easter?

[@wcolin441]

Was Jesus Laid in the Earth? No.
