Is this mainly digital or is it hybrid controlling pipes too? Either way, exemplary playing

I would like to find out more information about the organist. Does he have anymore well known hymns that he has recorded?The man is a genius!

I still re visit this fabulous rendition of this sacred hymn.It is played by a master of music, such a talented and clever man. He certainly brings to life the music and the organ. Never a note out of step or tune. A sheer joy each time I listen to it!

David Berry

Watch this man's hands. He knows how how to play a legato on the organ. This is masterful hymn playing, on a superior electronic instrument. A wonderful tune by one of the very best of the Victorian organ composers.

Ah, but the Catholic church is a corruption of what Christ actually founded. Any one who honestly studies the Scriptures with a view to knowing the truth cannot help but come to the conclusion that the worship of anyone but Christ and the meaningless rpetitious prayers as well as purgatory, salvation by works and much more are wrong. Obviously Faber did not do so!

I'm sure that he felt the calling of the Holy Spirit to enter the Church founded and guaranteed by Christ Himself. My old Catholic parish had this song on their 1954-vintage Schulmerich electronic carillon (which is still in use).

John Morissette

The parish I belonged to was a French-Canadian parish. I have the words and recording of the choir sing this in french.

Just have to keep listening to this beautiful rendition. It sounds better each time I listen. So much thought has gone into playing this instrument. Wish I could have heard this played live!

Christianna Hellwig

Thank you for the History of this hymn. The tune is absolutely majestic. I will have to learn this one! The words seem very solid too. I wonder why Faber went into the Catholic church.

John Cameron

The beautiful lyrics “Hark, hard my soul” were written the High Anglican Frederick Faber just before he followed John Henry Newman into the Catholic Church. The melody Pilgrims was written by Henry Smart, an English organist and composer highly rated by his contemporaries but now out of fashion. For reasons which are quite beyond me the tune Pilgrims is one of the most underused among Anglicans and Lutherans. It is however hugely popular in Scotland and many US Presbyterian churches.

This is played so beautifully, what a great talent this man has. Love this hymn.

Such a beautiful hymn, with evocative words and music. Thank you so much for putting it on line here. It's a pity that some modernday editors haven't seen its value. In the UK, it's to be found in Hymns Ancient & Modern Revised, alas lost from the newer Common Praise. The music is public domain and easily found by googling 'pilgrims smart hymnary'.

How can I obtain the last verse arrangement by Robert Hebble?

My Mother introduced me to this hymn. This is very well played and I am very impressed with this digital organ. I love the chord at 4:37 !

Doug Marshall has no idea how much his music on the pipe organ ministers to Christian believers all across this country. I wish he would do more of this. Thank you Doug

Oh how wonderful to hear this peace again. Thank you Doug Marshall for the stops selections and the melody being played so lovely. Never seen this organ before. Give us the name and church? Is this church related to the Marble Collegiate Church in New York

In Jamaica, this is a standard funeral hymn.
