A Mighty Fortress is our God - Manchester United Methodist 10-25-2015

[@levargrah1477]

This is the soundtrack of the Day of the Lord, the day when He returns, the day when every knee shall bow, the day when we will all rest in the arms of all those who have gone before us, nevermore to grieve.

[@bikdav]

Lee, "The Day of the Lord". Wouldn't that be funny if that was a movie title and that hymn was the opening theme song to it?

[@SteveKuban]

Amen Lee. Yours is a beautiful comment. Praise our Great God the LORD Sabaoth the LORD of Hosts! HalleluYah!

[@sardu55]

God has no pipe organ. There are only people who think he does.

[@charlesmathuesiii1206]

There is nothing like a true pipe organ and an organist who knows how to bring it to life

[@julievanderleest]

Very true! I grew up going to a Cathedral in Southern California and the organ there was incredible! I never realized it was one of the largest organs in the world with over 16,000 pipes. I miss going there sometimes. I’ve never heard any other organ sound close to that one. The church itself is a completely different church but the organ is still there.☺️

[@rachelissac7778]

Awesome God our mighty fortress Praise God for the beautiful rendition of the song. Praise God for the musicians. Praise His Holy Name The only living and prayer answering God. If only all the people of the earth come to know Him, how blessed it would be.

[@folusojoseph989]

This is America’s number one hymn. Apart from the sound and the organ’s influence, the wordings ..... words failed me to describe it. That word MAJESTIC comes to mind. Any time I hear the hymn, that majestic feeling always fill me up.

THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE REFORMATION

[@michaelbaughman4017]

Experience this in Reformation Sunday ... 10/31/2021. What joy. What rapture. What bliss. In these days of uncertainty,truly A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR G-D!!!🌹

[@pope0331]

The most powerful hymn upon the face of the earth! Still sung in most reformed christian evangelical denominations. Gloria Soli Deo! Col 3:16

[@BonsaiBlacksmith]

Thanks to our hero Martin Luther who penned this Hymn

[@strangerandpilgrim7281]

I think it should be sung in ALL evangelical denominations! One of the most powerful hymns of all. GOD'S power!!

[@billhaywood3503]

Bravo! Beautiful singing by all and the horns sound fan-tastic. Thank you for recording this! In 2021-There is no need for fear... A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD.

[@charlotteknutsen7262]

Amen!!

[@gaznet1107]

Wow, now there is an organist that loves organining, very creative.

[@johne6081]

Last weekend I was part of the "practice congregation" for a master class for organ students, since playing with and for a choir and congregation adds a whole new dimension beyond playing solo. Our organist, who lead the workshop, would wholeheartedly applaud the organ playing here, including that majestic introduction. Nicely done!

[@wandaumstead2076]

What A Mighty Fortress is my God!

[@marynexer4748]

Majestic! And a shout out to sir Francis Asbury for bringing methodism to our USA!

[@dnzswithwombats]

Jesus Christ is His name. Praise the Triune God.

Martin Luther composed this hymn! 👋✝️🥰🎄🙏

[@siegfriedw1526]

Yes one of our great composers.But he could not reform the church.He divided the church in Europe,especially in Germany.This division led to one of the most terrible wars in Germany.One third of the people died ,and Germany feld behind France an Great Britain.GermanChurch is divided until today.A big hinderance for mission.

[@elvidahildyard3843]

Halleluiah!

[@Chesterbarnes1]

Who is this man on the ORGAN bench? What is the name of the ORGAN? Who built it? How many ranks ..where is this church located?

[@PaulaSoper-qc7he]

Praise the lord, he is too much I cant stand it😂❤ WONDERFUL!!

[@vladosedlak83]

Parade 👌💖👏👍

[@tr9809]

I never realised that Manchester United has its own Methodist Church :-p

[@guyfaux3978]

No affiliation with Manchester United, the famous football club, I'm guessing? ;-)(It's just that the way it's written in the caption, one would be forgiven for reading it that way.)Although, I suppose, it WOULD do those lads a power of good to sing this every now and again.

[@Chesterbarnes1]

Where is Manchester United Methodist Church located, what city, what state. Listen to that POWERFUL ORGAN in the background. Who is the ORGANIST? What is the ORGAN BRAND? Ranks, manuals ?????

[@poolboy8842]

Chesterbarnes1 Missouri

[@elvidahildyard3843]

England in the city of Manchester!

[@Jack-eo5fn]

Can anyone tell me where Manchester United Methodist is located? Thanks.

[@rdub4218]

Manchester, Missouri

[@Jack-eo5fn]

@@rdub4218, thanks very much.

[@geonmzahsan6640]

Excellent congregational singing; intro needs improvement

[@TheJakeman789]

Whats wrong with using just the hymnal? Why do you need the slide show?

[@chuckschafer942]

when you have 1500 people you need that

[@garrygrabow831]

With the hymnal you also get the music and the bigger context of all the text. There are two versions of the hymn tune (rhythmic and isometric), and many different texts. With a well-known hymn like this music isn’t necessary, but to fully use the great hymnody of the church, having a hymnal with the musical notation cannot be beat. Screens also detract from sacred spaces in my opinion - I don’t really want to feel like I am at a conference.

[@orsonransel2052]

lol more choir members than church members

[@ernstniedergesaess3669]

Unfortunately the organist does all sorts of silly and completely unnecessary and distractive additions to an otherwise glorious hymn.

[@georgefieldsjr.640]

Nothing against the organist, but all the long introduction and interlude is really not needed 😂😅

[@Jack-eo5fn]

It’s called “ornamentation” and it’s very popular and respected in the theatre of musicality today. Singing 4 verses of 3 long hymns every Sunday can be tedious and the congregation loses interest in what they’re singing. Ornamentation is a way of dressing up one hymn each week as a way of uplifting the entire service.

[@georgefieldsjr.640]

too much introduction and interlude of organ....

[@phillewis8839]

Also played and sung too FAST

[@maryburt8747]

How powerfully you did this wonderful hymn. Loved listening.

[@keithblake4927]

Not on the greatest day of the Reformed Church. Bring it on. Cheers to this church and the wonderful organist.
