This hymn has been an Easter staple for many protestant congregations for many years. Here it is sung by the standout group Immanuelle in a traditional Jamaican reggae style, put together by the Musical Maestro Dr. Charlie Roberts. Listen out for the powerful cameo rap performance by my longtime friend and confidant John Hewlett.
This is a totally different take on the original music. I wonder how George Frederic would have ‘handeled’ it (dad joke!).
Thanks so much for listening to these musings. Your appreciation makes it all worthwhile. It has been humbling to learn of the difference that these postings have been making in some lives.
I would be grateful if everyone subscribes to my KZbin channel @Dr. George Roberts. You can share and like this selection at • Thine be the glory, Ja... . Also please encourage friends and family to do likewise. I will be regularly uploading musical musings to this site as they emerge.

3/31/2024, Easter Sunday: loving this celebratory arrangement and thinking fondly of all our LOVED ONES who have gone on to be with the Lord. We can shed tears of joy because HE has conquered death and the grave. A blessed Easter to all. Rest in peace my beloved Charlie Roberts. Heaven is rejoicing.
