Love that hymn. Here is another performed by an unlikely pair. Enjoy.

Ah yes, “The Church Militant.” What a quaint concept (said with full sarcasm), that we should fight for our religious freedom and to spread and even preserve Christianity. Those who don’t like the idea of a “church militant” are responsible for removing hymns like this and “Forward Christian Soldiers” from modern hymnals, because “the church shouldn’t encourage war.” Oh it idiocy of such belief/interpretation.

Thank you for the post. A truly great hymn, set to the music of the truly great Raph Vaughan Williams.

Litany of the Saints is another moving one. Simple words, simple melody, just for asking those great souls already with God to help pray for us.

Wonderful hymn. I had it sung at my mother's funeral. Eschatological in the true sense.

Here's one you probably haven't heard: For All the Saints from the For All the Saints: Indelible Grace III album. See also http://www.igracemusic.com/

CC a few of the saints.
