Just sharing a hymn

Thanks for that nadateturbe. It is beautiful.

Glad you enjoyed it Greenfinch.

Beautiful. Very moving and the image of the man is extremely comforting somehow.

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this, nadateterbe.

So simple yet so beautiful

One of my favourite hymns.

Beautiful hymn, but not well known.
I chose this hymn as the first one for my husband's funeral service two years ago.
He died 3 weeks following confirmed pancreatic cancer diagnosis including lung secondaries. It was a dreadful shock and I'm still trying to adjust to life without him.
He was only 63.
I often listen to this version.

Beautiful. I do know the gym and without putting the sound on to wake DH, I can hear it in my head

Thank you ☺️

it is actually a very commonly sung hymn these days, at least in my church.

It is also very commonly used for funerals, perhaps for obvious reasons.

I like it.

So sorry Braun2019. Such a shock to have so little time after diagnosis. And your husband so young.
It seems to be a choice for many at a funeral. I had never heard it before.
Two years is a short time. I pray it gets easier gor you. x

Lovely nadatetube

It is common at funerals in my church, definitely a favourite of mine.

That sounds lovely.
Hymns can often provide a sense of comfort and peace. Do you remember the name of the hymn?
If you enjoyed it, you might find listening to more music in a similar style soothing and uplifting.

I had this hymn played at my Mums funeral 13 years ago and it still moves me.

this is lovely but I wouldn't call it a hymn.

I Watch The Sunrise is a folk style hymn, written in 1970 by John Glyn, Roman Catholic priest and poet.

It’s sung in our church , and our Priest i s very strict about only hymns being used
It is lovely

It is very popular at funerals in our Diocese. ( West of Scotland )
Most certainly recognised as a hymn.

A very beautiful hymn. They used to play this at Communion at the Catholic Church I attended many years ago.
