I don't think you're supposed to be videorecording in the middle of a church service.

Someone should tell that to the folks over at the Crystal Cathedral.

Here's the first stanza btw

Den store, hvide Flok vi se,
(The great, white flock we see)
som tusind Bjærge fuld af Sne,
(like a thousand mountains full of snow)
med Skov omkring
(with forests about)
af Palmesving
(of swaying palms)
for Tronen. Hvo er de?
(before the throne. Who are they?)

The second stanza contains several terms I can't quite guess the meaning of. This appears to be in old Danish and I might have to consult someone in order to find out the rest in its entirety.

gah! I hate empty first posts. I'll just take it that [BLANK SPACE] are all of them unless you add some form of reference that a video is supposed to be there. It's really annoying! :evil:

Sorry about that.

Surely there's more to redeem Christianity than Austrian folk music.

I couldn't have found something more obscure if I tried.

"Den Store, Hvide Flok " == "The Large, White Flock"

I hink it refers to the believers in Christ in a sheep-like metaphor.
