Now this hymn is going to be in my head all day–and you know what? It’ll be welcome! Christ Shall Have Dominion, music written by Arthur Sullivan of Gilbert & Sullivan fame. Most of us know the tune better from Onward, Christian Soldiers.
Nice job, singers… whoever you are.
The ungodly will hate this hymn, Christ Shall Have Dominion. I’ve always liked this video, just three friends singing a hymn. Arthur Sullivan, of Gilbert & Sullivan fame, wrote the music–same melody as Onward, Christian Soldiers.
I do love this unpretentious little video: three friends, a guitar, and a hymnbook… and they’re in business: Christ Shall Have Dominion.
The tune was composed by Arthur Sullivan, of Gilbert & Sullivan fame. It’s also used for Onward, Christian Soldiers.
I love this unpretentious little video; and even more, I love the hymn–Christ Shall Have Dominion, by Arthur Sullivan (yes, that Sullivan).We pray daily for Our Lord Jesus Christ to rule His Father’s world.
How the Enemy hates this hymn! Christ Shall Have Dominion. And there all we need is three friends, a guitar, and a hymnal or two–you can praise God with whatever is at hand. Same music as Onward, Christian Soldiers, by the same composer–Arthur Sullivan, of Gilbert & Sullivan fame.
This is one of those hymns that makes Christ’s enemies gnash their teeth–Christ Shall Have Dominion. If it sounds like Onward, Christian Soldiers, that’s because Arthur Sullivan (of Gilbert and Sullivan fame) wrote the melody that’s used for both.
May Christ’s dominion come today.
“ElderMike” inspired me with a comment late last night–yes, let’s celebrate Christ’s victory! Especially now–we especially need to do it now.
Christ Shall Have Dominion and Onward, Christian Soldiers share the same melody by Arthur Sullivan, of Gilbert & Sullivan fame.
I wish I had friends to sing hymns with. Wherever two or three are gathered in Christ’s name… He’s there, too.
This was the hymn that first popped into my head last night–Christ Shall Have Dominion, by Arthur Sullivan (of Gilbert & Sullivan fame), sung here by the congregation at Grace Reformed Church in Dunnville, Ohio.
It’s His right to rule the earth–and no one else’s.
We have no king but Jesus Christ.
Christ Shall Have Dominion, by Arthur Sullivan (of Gilbert & Sullivan), sung by the congregation of Grace Reformed Church in Dunnville, Ontario. And yes, Sullivan’s melody also goes with Onward, Christian Soldiers.
When he wasn’t writing operettas with W.S. Gilbert, Arthur Sullivan wrote hymns. Christ Shall Have Dominion came out in 1871. The first time I posted it here, someone objected strenuously. I guess he wanted someone else to have dominion. God defend us.
