It is a thing most wonderful - Choristers of Canterbury Cathedral
The Choristers of Canterbury Cathedral sing John Ireland's wonderful setting of William Walsham How's words to It Is A Thing Most Wonderful.
It Is A Thing Most Wonderful (Ex Ore Innocentium}
It is a thing most wonderful,
almost too wonderful to be,
that God's own Son should come from heaven,
and die to save a child like me.
And yet I know that it is true:
he chose a poor and humble lot,
and wept, and toiled, and mourned, and died,
for love of those who loved him not.
I sometimes think about the cross,
and shut my eyes, and try to see
the cruel nails and crown of thorns
and Jesus crucified for me.
But even could I see him die,
I could but see a little part
of that great love, which, like a fire,
is always burning in his heart.
And yet I want to love thee, Lord;
O light the flame within my heart,
and I will love thee more and more,
until I see thee as thou art.

    There are several arrangements of this carol, but for me John Rutter's is by far the best, the boys of the choir absolutely nail it and the organist's accompaniment is just superb. Have listened to it many times, and not just at Christmas.!!

    Praise, my soul, the King of heaven; to his feet your tribute bring. Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, evermore his praises sing. Alleluia, alleluia! Praise the everlasting King…. Praise him for his grace and favor to his people in distress. Praise him, still the same as ever, slow to chide, and swift to bless. Alleluia, alleluia! Glorious in his faithfulness…. Fatherlike he tends and spares us; well our feeble frame he knows. In his hand he gently bears us, rescues us from all our foes. Alleluia, alleluia! Widely yet his mercy flows…. Angels, help us to adore him… you behold him face to face. Sun and moon, bow down before him, dwellers all in time and space. Alleluia, alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace….

    The most depressing hymn ever written. I was sent to boarding school in England and after spending a weekend with my parents at home, we were forced to sing this by our sexual deviant of a school master. The lyrics made me so depressed.

    What a pity the Catholic services are often poor in comparison to the glory of the hymns in the Anglican tradition. I simply adore this hymn. “Here might I stay and sing No story do divine… This is my friend, In whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend”. Amen.

    First heard this hymn in the September of 2006 while in JS1 at St. Andrew's Catholic Secondary school Adikpo, at the country side of Benue State Nigeria. From that day even as a 9 year old boy, this hymn and of course, then entire hymanl culture has become a profund aspect of my life and has led me more to Christ than ever.
