Thine be the glory, risen conquering Son!

The glorious Easter hymn, with music by Handel & words by Edmond Budry. Sung by St Andrew’s Cathedral Choir, Sydney, Ross Cobb, director.
The immortal hymn on the Christian hope in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ emains one of the enduring favourites sung by millions worldwide.
God's promises through Christ, through suffering and death remain absolute, giving much needed hope and focus at this time of grieving and suffering worldwide.
The day before churches were shut down in Sydney, we very quickly recorded, with a very reduced and socially-distanced St Andrew's Cathedral Choir, several well-known hymns and psalms. We hope to share more shortly. We hope that you find them all useful in this difficult time when churches are unable to meet. Please feel free to share this or incorporate it in your online act of worship by downloading it. There is no copyright due, if you use it for your online services during this time. If we can help your scattered congregation, then we are really grateful. Please put an acknowledgement where it is from: 'Courtesy of St Andrew's Cathedral & Choir, Sydney, Australia'.

Great rendition of this eternal truth, glorious and full of hope, played by our trumpeter sons Youth brass band at his untimely funeral, Jesus conquered even death.

A beautiful hymn, laced with truth! Even in a difficult, painful time, He is still risen!

[@janicevasey4038]

The tune is Judas Maccabaeus and was originally written to celebrate the defeat of the Scots. Written by G. F. Händel and these words were later put to it by Edmund Louis Budry. What a wonderful turnaround for a piece of music!!

Thine indeed is the glory of the Living God. Thank you for this timeless classic hymn.

[@SAnd-pd1ou]

Beautiful. Happy Easter... Our savour has risen. Amen

[@sylviaarber6911]

Thank you so much for this glorious Hymn - with your music and singing - I sang with you - and found in hymn book it is from 1Cor. 15:54-55 - so caring to read.

[@iheanyiodimba1221]

Such hymns don't come recommended, you seek them out because of their beauty. Thine be the glory thou risen Jesus Christ...

Händel's melody is a connecting element across national borders. Here as an Easter song, in Germany as a Christmas song.

We use it for both in America, Daughter of Zion & Thine Be the Glory

Happy Easter day ✝️🇫🇮✝️

Fancy kudos for hearing.

[@deniseeulert2503]

This is one of four hymns I plan on having sung at my funeral.

[@phillipbaritone3843]

This is not a funeral hymn, but I suppose that’s your choice… this is a hymn for the risen Christ- but if taken metaphorically may apply poetically, ironically enough.

[@alasdairgeddes]

When's that?

[@toddavis8603]

Great performance choir, trumpeter, pipe organ, maestro!!!!

Wonderful... Please, would _Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring_ be on the cards?

[@Tubatoofpaste]

Happy Hanukkah!

[@rhodiusscrolls3080]

Are you being deliberately obtuse?

[@Tubatoofpaste]

@@rhodiusscrolls3080 Not at all. Alluding to its composition by Handel, used in his oratorio Judas Maccabaeus. One of the things Hanukkah celebrates is the Maccabean victory.

[@rhodiusscrolls3080]

@@Tubatoofpaste Ah I see what you mean now. Forgive my impetuous dismissal. There is another problem however with this music if you happen to be Scottish. It was written to celebrate the memory of English genocide among the Scots..to the evocation of Cumberland the Butcher who was hailed by one side as a new Maccabeus. Politics and religion and music dont really mix around such memories but good that we made an Easter hymn of it, Nuff said.
