The Majesty and Glory of Your Name

[@Hapless1039]

I just witnessed the solar eclipse earlier this afternoon. I live in the path of totality. Once the moon completely covered the sun & we were able to view it for a few minutes without the glasses, besides feeling awe, this song immediately came to mind. I had to listen to it it again. I sang it years ago in my church's choir, & it has always been a favorite. "When I gaze into the night sky and see the work of his fingers, the moon and stars suspended in space, oh what is man..." Magnificent.

[@anitamoore4357]

During the eclipse today, this was the anthem that came to my mind and out of my mouth. All of the commentators I listened to today in Texas and others along the path of Totality talked about how the clouds covered the sky until the exact moment of Totality and then as if they were ripped open, there was the total eclipse in all of its glory. I also experienced this sitting on my front porch ... clouds and then majesty and glory revealed. I almost could hear God say, "THIS... is who I AM". Please read Psalm 8 as a reference point for this song.

[@Riikorii]

Definetely give goosebump to me. All of this is perfect!!

[@karenbemiss919]

I dearly miss singing this song & others like this in our churches today. What a way to worship with words straight from the Scriptures.

[@mimsalamims6571]

This was the first hymn I fell in love with when I just became a believer in 1986. A gentleman at my job handed me a little casette tape with music from his chuch's choir and I must have worn it out listening to it over and over again. The way I began to think about whether there was a God or not was a night when my parents came to visit from out of town so my mom and I slept in my bed under a window, right before I fell asleep my mother (who was a beliver and had been praying for me ) began to talk about the stars we could see and how it must have been marvelous the way God made all that is in the skies. I began to almost see with my mind's eye what seemed to be the formation of planets and constellations as I fell asleep. From that night I began my search and found Jesus!! Or, shoudl I say, He found me. Praise the Lord I found this song performed so beautifully by this choir, it sounds exactly like the one I heard so many times so many years ago. I believe it was a baptist church in San Antonio TX that had was on that long lost cassette tape. I played it for my husband as I heard it for the first time now and it brought us both to tears. Thank you Jesus for giving this talent to people, to write such a song and for these beautiful voices to perform it so magnificentrly. God bless you, the director, the pastor of that church, all that attend there. Our God reigns!!!!

[@UkuClub2023]

We're just a small congregation here in the Philippines, but we still sing this kind of music in our church, how blessed we are to sing and hear this kind of music.

[@Lynnw-wd2hy]

❤love beautiful ❤️ thank you

[@Belk31]

Our choir sang this. I always cry, Alleluia!

[@diannellynpino9562]

When I was in a liturgical choir member , this is one of the hardest piece aside from the “ HALLELUJAH” Too much high the notes specially I belong to Soprano 1. But believe me when u know how to feel this song and sing this with all ur heart... it’s like when all together blend their voices, it’s like 1 voice singing. And every time we sang this song, it never fails me to make me cry... with all my heart and soul...I GLORY THE NAME OF GOD ABOVE ALL.🙏

[@codenamemagenta3169]

AMEN!!! Agreed! Tried this in our grand choir.. i didn't make it. i just cried. haha but yeahh.. still makes me cry up to this date. take care y'all wherever you are! Nov. 14, 2020

[@georgegoodrich4723]

I'm singing it tomorrow but the men's part are not as hard. I've sung it once before a couple of years ago, but was unable to make it to the rehearsal so I'm going in cold turkey. Thankful to have this video to practice with.

[@kathywilliams8011]

I just love this song. I’m a first soprano too and the Spirit just leads to hit these high notes. All praise to God. I just picture myself with many others singing this song when I get to heaven. Tears always flow with this beautiful song!!

[@marksusanleitson6068]

I heard this song this morning on the radio. I had heard it before, but I've wanted to listen to it several times today, and this evening, this version made me cry. I appreciate the verses shown also. That is a very beautiful sanctuary, too.

[@ngala08]

Stressfully learning alto part now. Butvits worth it because this is piece is an anointed treasure!

[@elizabethbrick7172]

This was sang at my father’s funeral at the Bible Center Church in Chas , WV. I have found such an amazing amount of the peace of God thru this Psalm.

[@marylinanders-ny8sb]

I have loved this song intently our choir sang this around 30 years ago and it still raptures my souls before my God.

[@leyleaves]

I just thought about this song today. I remember singing this in school choir and every single time we did the "alleluia" part, singing that second Soprano part gave me absolute CHILLS. No other song feels as good to sing and I feel like this must be the feeling of singing God's glory in heaven. Just otherworldly. Such a beautiful song.

[@Lynnw-wd2hy]

[@ArtScottMusicStudios]

When I walk through the gates of Heaven, it will not surprise me to hear thousands of choirs and angels singing this to God the Almighty. God has given us on earth the Gift of Music to get a glimpse of what Heaven will be like. Thanks be to God for Music...Art Scott, Minister of Music

[@dtapp5258]

The beautiful presence of the Holy Spirit . Praise Him O people of the earth.

[@garyroberts9517]

I was in church choir 11 years .it was very special and helped me in my life .all the songs are a prayer to our Lord,.

[@lorietheridge8834]

What a holy piece of glorious music! It fills my heart with so much joy and renewed hope. I wish everyone still had a church choir singing like angels just like this one! What a blessing ❤

[@DavidHottel]

Tom Fettle was endowed by God with rare and exceptional composing powers when he wrote this anthem. Glory to God. Thank you FBC Dallas for such a great job.

[@guibox3]

Sang this song over 30 years ago. Conducted it in my own choir 20 years ago. Still know all my tenor part. That transition at 3:08 still gives me chills as my memories of singing this on tours and on stage come flooding back into my mind

[@nanikdasani4547]

When I gaze into the night skies and see the work of your fingers; The moon and stars suspended in space. (oh, what is man?) Oh, what is man that you are mindful of him? You have given man a crown of glory and honor, And have made him a little lower than the angels. You have put him in charge of all creation: The beasts of the field The birds of the air, The fish of the sea. Oh, what is man? (oh, what is man?) Oh, what is man that you are mindful of him? O Lord, our God the majesty and glory of your name Transcends the earth and fills the heavens. O Lord, our God; little children praise You perfectly, And so would we. And so would we. Alleluia! Alleluia! The majesty and glory of Your name. Alleluia! Alleluia! The majesty and glory of Your name. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! (Alleluia!)

[@rebeccaheth7063]

Stepped outside. The stars are gleaming. Big Dipper! Venus! Alleluia! Had to go into the house and get my phone, and bring it outside so I could hear the choir adore the majesty and glory of his name while viewing His handiwork!

[@roxannemaggiacomo4513]

That's thinking!

[@ritalie465]

Hope we all could sing this beautiful song together in heaven ..

[@Mulleonjo_29]

Search the song, "When we all get to heaven" its a beautiful piece.

[@streamofawareness]

Choir singer who has done this for church many times. This is never just a song when I perform it. This is an experience. It’s asking the universe “who am I in all this vastness” and God answers by showing you the vastness inside yourself. We’re all universes within the universe, each unique and wonderful. This piece encompasses all of that. You don’t sing it or listen to it, you experience it.

[@solascripturamjc9681]

BEAUTIFUL! May our Lord Jesus Christ be praised!

[@cynthiamottel9504]

I'm an alto that had opportunity to present this as an ensemble and I too, cry every time. This piece is anointed, Sprirt filled straight from the Scriptures. This choir and orchestra have given a magnificent representation. Thank you!

I miss singing this when I was a choir member in college. This always gives me goosebumps all the time. Praise God.

[@BILLWilliamdexter]

Gospel songs are always soothing to our soul...it gives us that sense of satisfaction, glory and fulfilment... Praise the lord...

[@margaretclark9251]

This is more than a gospel “trinket”. It’s a tribute to God

[@imjunglaimchen64]

I cannot help but tear a little whenever I listen to this beautiful hymn

[@mrsdiwi]

I have sung this with 2 different choirs at 2 churches. One of the most beautiful songs ever written, especially for a choir, for sure. I actually came down the aisle to this at my wedding, I love it so much.

[@Reid-yy5nw]

Many years later from Augusta, GA: It still doesn't get any better than this. Oh how music like this is MISSED!

[@jackanderson6676]

You don’t need to miss it - just find the right church

[@hesterpotts9987]

Had the extreme privilege of singing this with the Mimosa Lane Baptist Church choir so many years ago. Hauntingly beautiful. Always in my heart.

[@sherrysmith2977]

Woke up first thing with the song on my heart so couldn’t finish the day without a sing along!

[@danhutson3460]

The choir I belong to, Senoia United Methodist Church of Senoia, Ga, has sung this several times & it always brings chills to me. It also lifts me up. I appreciate Dallas FBC choir for sharing this masterpiece! We need these words in this time we are in.

[@beckywelch7976]

It’s neat to read your comment. My Dad was pastor of Senoia Methodist Church 1959-1964. Both my sister and I were born when we lived in Senoia.

What a wonderful anthem. My own church has done this one a couple times, too. With less people and no orchestra, of course. Still, we made a joyful noise onto The Lord.

[@MAXIMUSISADOG]

Eddie Hawn I bet yours was just as beautiful.

[@patsysummitt8618]

I love this Song, The very words come out of The Bible ( Psalm 8 : 3 -9 ) I cry and Sing along with them every time I hear it , The Holy Spirit Reveals His Holiness, Power & His Majesty How can we Not Weep with Joy Over The Almighty God The Creator of The Entire Universe * Jesus * 🙏✝️🙏

[@mannfan12]

This is one of my favorites. A few years back, I was in Utah (Natural Bridges Nat’l Monument) in the dead of night. It is the darkest of dark skies. No light pollution. You could look up and see the Milky Way blazing across the sky. You could see Andromeda galaxy with a naked eye. And this song kept playing in my head over and over. I honestly cannot comprehend how one could look up into the night sky and see “the works of [His] fingers” and deny the existence of God. The night sky and indeed all creation SCREAMS out the existence of God.

[@LindaJohnson-xc2kl]

This is one of the most beautiful renditions of our song on KZbin! I wish we could hear it in person! Thank you so much! Linda

[@finolahepworth2610]

may the world hear this exqisite and angelic pweformance Thank You .God is truly present

[@jimmyfreeman9563]

One of the mist moving pieces to ever be sung. I was moved to tears as the choir began to sing the phrase "Alleluia, Alleluia". I especially enjoyed the expressions on many of choir members. There was worship being shared by the joy and passion expressed in their faces. The young, male tenor featured several times and center screen at the end was especially great in his facial expressions and presentation of the message. The choir was awesome over all with great sound and dynamics. It blessed my spirit as I know it gave great glory to God.

[@marloschoggin4089]

When I belonged to a pretty big Baptist church a few years ago. I was in the choir and we had the opportunity to sing this. Very complex but beautiful song! One of my favorites to this day!

[@thomaspayne7547]

We are singing this piece again Sunday for the retirement of our Minister of Music and his wife. Philip and Mary Anne have led our wonderful music for 32 years!!! May God Bless them abundantly for their wonderful service to God at South Tulsa Baptist Church. We will miss them.

Sang this in a choral group in the 80"s. I love it.

[@MelSchmidt7]

It's been several years since I heard this piece sung and the harmonies in your choir are beautiful. Can't wait to hear the singing when we all are together in Heaven singing to the Lord. How very different from the noise and clamour of the world's music.

[@lillianmigliorini3770]

Wow! Beautiful message sung by the choir, All in robes. No music. Notes projected on a screen for both choir and audience to see. Great musical accompaniment. Thanks for sending this worshipful rendition to me.

[@toyia7]

I am crying my eyes out. Love this song.

[@24YouthPastor]

We should not criticize the message of our Lord, especially when it doesn't meet 'our' expectations in choral deliveries. I truly believe the content of this piece is right on target with its message........how can we, mere humans, stand in the presence of Almighty God and not cower down in reverential fear? We must sing Alleluia! to the King of Kings and nothing less!

[@musiciandeborah1854]

Thank you, Adam! Agreed!

[@ohmusicsweetmusic]

Oh, the whole "it's ok that it sucks if it's for the Lord" way of thinking, eh? Nope, sorry. It's that kind of thinking and excuse making that got choirs kicked out of the church in the first place.

[@terrillwhite78]

Does God not deserve nothing less than the VERY best? The sacrifices presented to God were without spot and without blemish. Just because it is "church music" doesn't mean that it's ok to not sing correctly.

[@j.l.m.6954]

@@ohmusicsweetmusic this is correct. Are we okay with a slovenly, unprepared message from the man of God? Then why do we not put everything in decency and order as the Lord Himself, to the best of our ability? Before the temple was consecrated 200,000 singers, and 200,000 instrumentalists practiced for years before being able to step in to play and sing. We must pray and prepare, worship but also work in music. If Christ gave me his best, should I not give him mine, in all life including my music offerings to him? Yes there is being led of the Spirit, but when Paul spoke to Timothy of preaching, he admonished him to study to show himself approved unto God. Although not directly to a musician or singer, I think the principle is there as well, to do everything as unto the Lord for his pleasure and glory. Now I agree not all a choir or all the folks in churches need a music degree to sing for the Lord but there should be both heartfelt preparation as well as musical practice. All this though stems from a love of the Lord. Alright I’m getting off my soap box. 😁

[@HeidiGolff]

So incredibly beautiful; the music and the subject of the song - our LORD our God.

It has been transforming for me every time our choir has sung this piece. As a choir we were privileged to be led in a choral workshop by Tom Fettke, who directed this piece for us on Sunday. I'll never forget it. I feel the spirit moving through the words of this hymn. We are so fortunate to have so many gifted composer/arrangers who devote their gifts to telling the story of God's salvation. Amen.

Are there any Baptist churches in the OKC area that still sing real choir music like this in 2020? I really miss this genre of music.

[@andrewwyffels1000]

Southwest Baptist Church (in OKC) has a great music ministry! Their choir alone is the size of some smaller congregations and both they and the congregation really know how to sing with conviction and purpose. I found them searching for good, congregational recordings of my favorite hymns, as it's so nice to be able to pull up some real (traditional) worship music at the end of a long day! (I'm an IFB from the Minneapolis, MN area and their church is so similar to mine it's uncanny! But it's great someone from Southwest Baptist uploaded a ton of those videos for people's worship and edification, as even a lot of churches with great music ministries tend not to publish much online.) They'd definitely be worth a visit, even if it's a bit of a drive! I definitely know which church I'll be visiting if I'm ever in the OKC area!
