The choir of Westminster Abbey, the gorgeous stained glass windows, and the voices lifted up in song–Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven–what can I say but “Wow”?
You might want to play it more than once.

‘I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say’
It doesn’t get more high church than this–Westminster Abbey, with the British royal family attending and the choir and congregation singing, I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say.
I’ve never been inside a building anything like Westminster Abbey. Even on the small screen, it’s overwhelming.
But to God be the glory.
‘Crown Him with Many Crowns’
Splendor and glory to Jesus Christ the Son of God, Lord of Lords and King of Kings! Westminster Abbey is a fitting venue for him, although even Westminster Abbey falls far short of His due. But this is our Savior, who is equally at home in a lean-to, or sleeping under the stars. Crown Him with Many Crowns!
From Westminster Abbey, ‘Crown Him With Many Crowns’
I love this hymn; and every now and then, I love to see a hymn get the V.I.P. treatment–after all, hymns are about the Most Important Person of all.
So here’s Crown Him With Many Crowns, complete with British royal family paying homage to the King of Kings who is over us all. Don’t be distracted by the sight of Queen Elizabeth in a yellow cowboy hat. The lesson here is a visual one: all earthly power, even royal power, is subordinate to the total sovereignty of God.
And yoo-hoo, I’m taking hymn requests all weekend… so let’s have some. Especially from some of you who’ve never asked us for a hymn before. Let’s hear from you!
