Onward Christian Soldiers For King Arthur: All Saints Church Oystermouth Swansea

[@dusty08yrks]

This is probably my single most favorite Christian hymn ever, although there are many. This song is first and foremost about spiritual warfare, but can also be a tremendous source of inspiration in service to one's country and people. It apparently takes on its true meaning in the midst of difficult times and persecution, becoming an even more powerful incentive to move forward and never cease. A most beautiful rendition.

This march "Onward Christian Soldiers" is a wonderful old Sunday School and Vacation Bible School song I remember all of us belting as members of the children's choir in a Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, PA during the 1950's! Great, spirited playing and a glorious bass! Thank you for sharing.

Dear Mr. Charles, I would like you to know that I played this at my father’s graveside memorial service yesterday as it was his favorite hymn. Your rendition has to be the most beautiful I’ve ever heard. Thank you and God Bless.

A bit lively for singing, I think; it's good to be able to sing the words with some solid articulation. ;) This is, however, gorgeous. Thank you for posting this and all your other videos. They are all beautiful!

[@ericstuart7748]

With this hymn, the feet get a very good workout!

Awesome Video! I'm still marching, Lord willing, but the load seems to be getting heavier, but your great resounding Organ renditions are an encouraging psychological lift!💪👍

Being from New England, every Congregationl Church had this as a staple for a Sunday morning service. But I never could quite figure out why it was sung the first Sunday in June every year. Anyone have any thoughts on that. Love this version . Please keep them coming !!!

Pictures are all down...LoL....Good jolly piece this Rob, Cheers :-)

[@kejcolley]

Excellent, Rob! I've head about three-quarters of it and then it stopped and the message came up that 'The Adobe Flash Player has crashed!' - I blame it on the speed that you made those Christian Soldiers march! :-) 'Complete Anglican - Hymns Old & New' which fails to understand Spiritual Warfare (they should re-read Paul's Letters) and assumes it all to be to do with soldiers fighting - as in places like Afghanistan - has rewritten the hymn to be 'Onward, Christian Pilgrims'.

[@RobCharles1981]

Thanks!

[@Zebra902]

Love it! I like the peppy speed!

[@davidwilliams8405]

I thought it was King Arthur marching out of his grave. Could feel the vibes all the way from the American Heartland.

Many thanks for posting your latest, Rob. Really enjoyed hearing you play "Onward Christian Soldiers" at such a lively tempo! And I don't think there's any broken pictures as yet in my 2 Bedroomed, pre-war Semi as yet! I've a framed photo of my lovely black cat, Bramble, taken sitting in the bath in 1994, and she's still intact! She was a wonderful pussy friend, Rob, and we missed her so much when she was put to sleep, aged 16. Thanks again and God bless. Charlie, Aberdeen.

[@FlatEarthDisciple]

Sounds fantastic. Thank you for putting some masculinity back in to God's music. This crippling, emasculating modernity is destroying Christian worship.
