- I am greatly impressed that Tantara Records, the copyright owners of this video (located on BYU campus) are alright with the video being posted. I would recommend everyone buy the DVD. It has some great music on it.
Available at www.TantaraReco... The BYU Combined Choruses sing "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing" arranged by Mack Wilberg from the album "A Thanksgiving of American Folk Hymns" (© Tantara Records). I would encourage everyone to buy the DVD or CD, even if just for this song. You can get them at www.TantaraReco...
I was born a Baptist and raised a Baptist. My great-uncle was an outstanding Baptist minister and a very good man. He wanted me to be a minister and attend Southern Baptist University. It is time we loved each other as Christ asked us to. Put away hate, rankor, callousness, and replace it with charity, kind words, peace, love and understanding. I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints over 34 years ago and have never regretted that decision. I have a testimony.
Im a 45 year old grizzly 'ol underground construction contractor....sitting in my truck cry'n like a little school girl watching this video.
Russell Griffin Just goes to show you the power of the love of JESUS CHRIST!!!
That my my good brother is the Holy Spirit working inside you, witnessing of the living Christ. I do the same thing.
Awwww 😢
I hear ya...
Me too.
I have been in Baptist church music as vocalist, pianist and organist for over 60 years and have never, ever heard a more beautiful or worshipful arrangement of this lovely old hymn. I've listened to it numerous times and it still brings me to tears and makes me worship. So uplifting. It's just incredible ! The tempo, orchestral accompaniment and arrangement are perfect. The arranger Mack Wilburg has earned himself numerous crowns to lay at the feet of Jesus in Heaven. WOW ! Gorgeous!
I am not a mormon, but I truly love this! I listen to it when I need to hear some inspirational music, and some music praising God/Jesus Christ our lord. All of you people who have negative comments to say about this. You need to show compassion. Hate, ignorance, intolerance are not traits of Christ. Reconsider who you are before you throw stones at other people, or their faith. Respect, this is not a knew idea.
I have to say that I do not believe in the Book of Mormon at all, but if you are not moved by this then you just don't have a soul. People, stop arguing theology because no one is going to read your comment and then change their entire outlook on life anyway. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy this master piece of beauty. If you were in this choir or orchestra and you are reading this, my God that was amazing! Thank you so much for your hard work in doing that.
This hymn is NOT "religious" and only those who ARE "relgious"...the same type that killed Christ, can nNOT see that this song is about a RELATIONSHIP...something...that NO RELIGION can give you....and ONLY THOSE...WHO HAVE IT...relationship with God that is, can even know anything about. Whether these people that sing, have relationships with God or not...know the Bible or not...or any other book...or not...one thing I also know , this is a beautiful rendition of this..Bravo BYU!! Thank God!
62 years old and I'm bawling like a little baby. Just beautiful. The power of the sublime is found right here.
I can't believe this is getting thumbs down! I know this person dropped the F bomb, but how awesome is it if this person really felt the comfort and peace from our Heavenly Father?
We all speak in different tongues based on life experience and circumstance. We shouldn't judge someone for how they express their feelings, especially if they're being sincere.
My husband and I first saw this performance on television and were so moved we recorded it and played it often...both of us crying at the beauty. My husband has since died so now whenever I play this beautiful rendition of the hymn I feel him with me. Thank you a million times over.
+Mary Jo Roser That is wonderful Mary Jo. May God comfort you and keep you in his loving care. Your words brought tears to my eyes, not to mention the impact this version has on me whenever I hear it. Time for my tissues.
Interesting. I lost a close friend to a motorcycle accident at a way too young age. This was one of his favorite hymns and they played it at his service. I listen to it periodically and it brings his memory up. But it's more than that too. There's a patience and exalting feel to this song to where I feel almost in total reverie when I listen to it. The original composition is as perfect a song that exists. This arrangement somehow lifts it even higher. When I'm carried away by this song I think of how blessed I am and how wonderful the earth and the life that dwells in it is. We're all so fortunate to have this song in our lives.
🙏
Mary - I understand. My husband passed away eleven years ago. I feel him with me with music. We loved music & dancing. He would have loved this performance. My best friend is Morman. We grew up Presbyterians & sing this hymn often - this way. We joined the United Methodist Church, because of pressure from friends, and so many hymns are sung differently.
Doodads Elton - I feel everything you said. All so true.
Did the 33 people dislike this because the music was terrible or because it was performed by Mormons?
Religion aside, this was one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. I thank the combined BYU Choruses and Orchestra for sharing this.
If there's a more perfect 6 minutes, 31 seconds of chorus ever captured on video, I'm not aware of it.
There are too many people out there who do not believe in Christ, that think it's okay to drink, use drugs, watch awful movies, to lie a little, to be unkind. They need your attention much more. At least mormons help others...that is the MOST important way to follow Christ and they donate and help people around the world and pray for others and do the best they can. You should focus your energy on where it can help. You really should pray and ask God in what ways you can help. Good luck.
I am a admittedly teenager, part of the generation that takes these kinds of music for granted. But in all my years of going to Church and listening to hymns of worship since childhood, I have never heard a more magical song that inspires and uplifts my heart in so many ways. I'm sure there are other people who feels this way and now, I just wish I could have paid more attention to Church and had more chances of listening to these songs. This is an amazing rendition, just absolutely lovely.
And I imagine you have continued to move to higher ground in your Christ-driven service. You wrote this 11 years ago; its 8-16-24 now. How are you doing?
Let us simply disregard all commentary posted by individuals whose bias and closed mindedness does not allow them to feel of the wonderful spirit that accompanies this rendition of this beautiful song. I dare those who do not appreciate this video for what it is to find anything better or more emotionally stirring.
There I am...This is a great example of my memories,experiences and performances at BYU. Dr. Wilberg is a musical genius, he inspirs and creates musical masterpieces. He brought my musical training at BYU to the next level. I am honored I was given the opportunity and chosen to be a member of the BYU Concert Choir 1991-1995 and to sing under the direction of Dr. Wilberg. watching this clip brings back so many fond memories!
I was shown this video in a philosophy class at Ricks college in 1999 during a discussion of aesthetics. It was so impactful to me personally, but it has also had a tremendous impact on the style of choir in the Church as a whole in promoting Mack Wilberg and his influence. I have wanted to ask someone who was there performing or in the audience what it was like. Was it obvious from the power of this performance the impact it would have? I’m not exaggerating, if I could time travel this would be high on the list for me as a moment to experience.
This was the last song my high school choir did. It was at graduation and I want to go back so badly. The real world sucks. Thumbs up if you agree!
My precious Ron who went home to be with his Lord and Savior June 13,2011 would listen to this great hymn every morning before starting his day and I would almost bet that he listened to it that morning. When i got his belongings back from Connecticut he had checked on his devotional schedule that he completed that mornings reading. He has never completed another devotional since that morning because he is face to face with his Lord. Amen, Wife of Rons'
My profound condolences on your loss! May your belief that Ron stands in the presence of his Lord be an everlasting comfort. Look forward to that day when he calls you to join him.
How precious!!!
Carolyn, I don't know who you are but God does. I don't think I could make it one day if I thought he wasn't with his Lord & Savior. Vickie Now would you pray for my sister Ana, She lost her oldest boy last Sunday and the Memorial Service will be held on Friday. Thank you in the name of Jesus.
i will pray today...
i will pray today...
Hello Brent,
While I am not LDS I do acknowledge this faithful interpretation by Mack Wilberg, he does more justice to the composer than do most modern hymnals. The BYU Orchestra and Choir are also to be greatly applauded.
Equality before God is determined by divine judgement not by human desires, the LDS/Christianity tension is more complex and serious than what simple equivalency of wording allows.
OK, most people are going to say, "you can get back up, keep on trucking", but they can't have empathy for something of that level. Not a day goes by that I don't consider suicide and how the world was created, in my own words "Damned are those who think". My words are, Jesus didn't die for us to keep beating on ourselves, when he lived he was completely human and God, knew the temptations and had emotions. Because of this connection, he knows everything, and he died to save the world from death
I don't want to read the "Book of Mormon" when Scripture is sufficient, thank you. Just remember this chat someday, we all will be judged. I have the authority of my church and Scripture behind me, that's more than enough.
The Book of Mormon is scripture. Another testament of Jesus Christ.
Come thou Fount is one of the greatest hymns ever written and this is its most memorable presentation. Hard to imagine this was done over 20 years ago. Thank you BYU Choir and Mack Wilburg for this masterful and timeless presentation. Additional credit is deserved for the Audio Video professionals who edited the results we have just enjoyed.
Great music and great video; glad it is posted on here. Don't worry about the bizarre hate posters; they discredit themselves with every post. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is about love. Judge for yourselves as God intended. You won't have to go any further than the spirit of the posts on this very thread to see the difference and where the light is vs. where the darkness is to be found. 'Nuff said.
The most powerful and moving version of this great hymn I have ever heard. Very moved indeed.
Agreed
I agree!!!
Absolutely
totally!
can someone erase these hate messages? they do such disservice to the message of this wonderful song. i am not LDS but i feel the spirit every time i listen to this song. such faith. such beautiful message. i have taste of heaven every time i hear this. i can never feel an iota of hate whenever i listen to it....
These young people don't just sing this song -- they FEEL it!
I don't know what Mormans believe, exactly - but I do know they sure know how to make beautiful music to the Son of the Living God.
I was introduced to this particular rendition many years ago. To me, this is what a Testimony of Christ looks, sounds, and feels like. Music renders this testament even more transcendingly powerful than words alone ever could. God inspired this arrangement of this already wonderful hymn.
+Jerrod Wertman "arranged by Mack Wilberg"... Credit where credit's due :)
@@VentureDub the credits due to God
Religion aside, this is jaw-droppingly gorgeous music.
Regardless of one’s religious affiliation, anyone can feel spiritually uplifted from this. It was beautifully preformed and it appeared to be flawless. How amazing is it to see so many individuals come together to make one masterpiece. What truly made it magical was that each person preformed with their whole heart.
this. I've compared it to the other versions but the other versions aren't as powerful. and hopefully you are notified of my comment 10 years later so you can listen once again haha :)).
i love this song! it was played at my mothers funeral! i just wish anyone who wants to debate religion would do it somewhere else! not here! i attend several different churches and enjoy them all! we are all Gods children! love one another!
“Oh to grace how great a debtor”
Asking for your help, Lord,
though I don’t deserve your blessing we desperately need your help.
Asking for the prayers of those good souls who see this.
Praying for every soul on earth.
if this is what heavens is like, then here is my life Christ, take it ,renew it, regenerate it, so i can live with you forever.
Whenever I listen to this Mormon music, I can feel the Spirit of God. Great choir!
+David Ryu While this IS a Mormon choir...this is Christian music...
And "Mormons", being members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints are most assuredly Christian!
The term “Mormon” has lately been clarified to refer strictly to an ancient prophet by that name and to the book of scripture he abridged.
Consequently, there is no such thing as “Mormon music”, “Mormons”, “Mormon Church”, and so on.
The people who belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are now known not by the retired nickname, but as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
It may be a mouthful, but it’s accurate.
David Ryu amidst all the historical facts and such others are giving, I believe it’s pretty clear they’re missing the point of your simple and initial enjoyment of this beautiful song. As a member of this church, Thank you for your compliment! How wonderful you feel the Spirit of God listening to this. A powerful arrangement and performance of this beautiful song. God bless my brother!
The lyrics of this song present the wonderful Gospel, and in a beautiful manner. This is not the place to debate LDS theology. Enjoy the song.
I was part of the Ambassadors of music (100+ member choir) over the last summer and we got to go sing this in cathedrals and in amazing places all over Europe. This is my favorite song, and always will be!
Even people that didn't know English cried when we sang this song. Its just that powerful.
why people make all these comments about other people praising God is beyong me,attack is all the devil knows,and i agree with you,,God in heaven is loving it and these pple are being blessed while some are not,,
Almost 20 years after the performance, and still the most beautiful, inspirational, piece of music to be found anywhere. No one, including MTC, can even come close.
Jesus added this video to his favorites.
Here I am, November 24th 2021, my 61st birthday and still weeping to this most beautiful rendition of this great hymn. I first heard it in 1997, I think, and it still tears me up like I did then.
I'm saddened by arguments for/against anyone's beliefs. Religion is a private matter. Please, all, do not try and convince others about what YOU think is best. God's presence is all around us regardless of your personal perceptions. This music is proof that God is good. How else can you explain such utter beauty. His love is manifest in the talent on display here. Accept and enjoy this for what it is, a gift from God.
this is transcendent
the reason it is so good is because they mean it
regardless of what you think about mormonism, this is divine
we're playing this exact piece in my orchestra for the senior baccalaureate at my school this year. i am an atheist, but it's still very pretty and i applaud those in this video. great job.
C.S. Lewis pointed out that it is far too easy for us to assume that only the very serious things of life are approved by God. But in God's economy, where so much is upside down, even things that look frivolous, unimportant, wasteful, or playful can be important when they are attached to the joy found in the heart of God's character.
If being honest and loving others enough to share what so many of us know to be true is wrong, I'll take being "wrong" any day.
i love this song , i'm mexican , i dont know so much english but i can undrstand , the menssage , really it's like if they were angels and they were sining , it's a beautiful song , it's amazing , i'm mormon , i know it , i live it , i love it
Kevin Hernandez lol - really excited there Kevin... well the soul actually understands all languages.
+Kevin Hernandez Eres mexicano, soy gringo y a mi me encanta esta cancion tambien. No importa de que pais venimos or cualquier otra cosa. Somos hermanos y tenemos el mismo Padre Celestial y sentimos el mismo espiritu. Sabes algo? Para mi el himno Roca de Eternidad es mejor en espanol que ingles. No se porque, pero asi es jaja
Feeling lots of love for all my brothers and sisters on the earth, especially those from Mexico!
We don't have to wait. He has already told the world what he thinks of the prophet through revelation. He has also told us what he thinks and how he feels about those who mock His prophet as well as His church. I was raised "mainstream" Christian, and all I can do is invite you to listen to the message of the missionaries and pray sincerely to ask God if it is true. Other than that, let's enjoy the music that is dedicated to Savior of us both.
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Here by Thy great help I’ve come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
PRONE TO WANDER, LORD, I FEEL IT,
PRONE TO LEAVE THE GOD I LOVE.
HERE´S MY HEART, O TAKE AND SEAL IT,
SEAL IT FOR THY COURTS ABOVE.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood;
PRONE TO WANDER, LORD, I FEEL IT,
PRONE TO LEAVE THE GOD I LOVE.
HERE´S MY HEART, O TAKE AND SEAL IT,
SEAL IT FOR THY COURTS ABOVE.
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
PRONE TO WANDER, LORD, I FEEL IT,
PRONE TO LEAVE THE GOD I LOVE.
HERE´S MY HEART, O TAKE AND SEAL IT,
SEAL IT FOR THY COURTS ABOVE.
First of all religion or anyones past a side...Come Thou Fount is a slave spiritual about where to go home. It says that you can stay here and take shelter. It affirms that through Christ we will be free. Its an amazing message. Remember all sprituals have a point beyond that of simple praise music. Take this and learn as both of you discussing the simplicity are becomming arrogant. I'm a Musoc Teacher if anyone asks or wants to know. Plus I directed a verion of this last term. Peace to all
Dear Singers of 1992 and especially Ronald Staheli,
This song both rent me win twain and solidified my testimony of the Living Christ, when I was but 13.
Bind my wan'dring heart to Thee, indeed.
Thank you, all of you -- wherever and however you find yourselves.
Every member has different degrees of understanding and faith. Many just haven't received their full testimony yet. When they do, they'll stand beside me because they have received witness from the bearer of all truth, Jesus Christ and his witness, the holy ghost, and say something very close to the words of Joseph Smith "For I had seen a vision, and I could not deny it, for I knew that i knew it, and I knew that God knew it."
We Mormons are truly Christians and we raise our voices high to sing the praises to our God and His Beloved Son, our Savior and Redeemer. We love Jesus and always try to follow His teachings.
Apphia Kiran Amen.
Hosanna!
Inshallah
I apologize to the choir for some of the postings that are here. The choir sounds beautiful and I for one feel very blessed to have access to the angelic sounds. They are the best.
I have always loved the evident passion these young singers (and instrument players) poured out into this song. To see some of them shedding tears in the process is not a shock.
All religion on the face of this world has it's questions - historically - for doubt. The Mormon religion is no different, when it is honestly approached from a purely secular point of reference.
But, until the day that I die, I will absolutely know that the spiritual feelings I have felt when hearing this music were good, real, and true - and that the church that made it possible to be performed is smiled upon by God for making those feelings accessible to all who would listen and feel.
The double bowing get me every time. I used to watch this every Christmas in Norman, OK - They would broadcast it on Public Television. The girl at the end who just gets it all and continues even when crying. Thank you!
Yes, that girl at the end got to me, too, even as irreligious as I am. When I watched this on television and saw the tears in her eyes, I got tears in my eyes, too.
Here's someone that hopes you will come back. God loves you so much. I want to hug everyone after listening to this! Bless you.
Magnify the LORD with me let us sing His praise together
The CHURCH is one foundation His people are the sheep of His pastures
Beautiful delivery. Come thou fount, bless us now.
simply beautiful. I wish there peaceful music such as this was more prominent in pop culture. I realize that this is a silly wish, but at the same time this just reflects reality so much more vividly. Pop music is so fast and in your face. It's so obvious that it is a competition to steal the attention of the audience.
I was checking my email when this song came on and that's when I found out that the professor had canceled class. Today was a good day.
What a great performance by a great group of the youth of the LDS Church as a member of the Church I know the source of the talent comes from. Mormons believe that all the talents that we have are to be magnified and without the power of the Holy Ghost these talents would not be possible. I filmed a video of the 150 year Celebration of the Pioneers that came to Utah in 1847 held at BYU in 1997 and this performance by the ldsteencenter is certainly equal to that special celebration. Trenton
not active, but when i hear this i miss this feeling, :(
Come back!
Incredibly rousing. The Mormons have made this hymn one of their standard pieces.
Unfortunately, probably due to copyright trouble, this was excluded from our Hymnbook when it was revised in the 80s...... We all miss it :(
simply amazing every time i heard it know that is going to get some tears out of me....i cant deny the power of the song and the spirit that is in that room,,,,make me wish i was there hope one day i can cameback to church....
Hello, Christian. I hope by now you have come back to church. If not, it's never too late. I came back after being away for 10 years and it is worth it! I have been back for 20 and I am so glad I did. It was hard, but I have more peace in my life knowing I am living more the way I know I should be living. You can do it. The Lord is there to help you, like He helped me. God bless you.
@GRANTEDREPENTANCE. I agree with you. me too am a born again christian and this version of the hymn is OUTSTANDING. Beautiful. "...prone to wander Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God i love...". How we need HIS Grace all the time. Be blessed.
My second comment on this moving song. In the beginning God create earth and when he created man he created music and when he created music he created the Mormon Youth Choir and this marvelous song. Trenton Spears
IT is hard not to respond to such an arrangement and dedication on the part of the singers. Bravo, Brava, good stuff.
I listen to this every Thanksgiving. Thank you God for all the wonderful people, experiences, and blessings in my life.
oh my..... does a musical ensemble ever get this good without some unseen power. I am a transexual and therefore cannot be a member of the LDS church but it matters not - I can still enjoy glorious, uplifting performances like this one. 'Perfection' in describing the playing and singing, doesn't even come close - its so much better than that. Jakec1985 and lionssong2525 and willybob sum it up perfectly.
This is so beautiful! How are there 82 people hating this?
MamaGibbs5 to be honest people dislike for anything now - it's probably something petty like the visual quality of the video...it's the audio quality that counts!
@kurtdublin yeah, probably a bunch of atheists.
Stanza three seems to be a forecast of his later life, when he lapsed into sin. There is a well-known story of Robinson, riding a stagecoach with a lady who was deeply engrossed in a hymnbook. Seeking to encourage him, she asked him what he thought of the hymn she was humming. Robinson burst into tears and said, "Madam, I am the poor unhappy man who wrote that hymn many years ago, and I would give a thousand worlds, if I had them, to enjoy the feelings I had then."
This is certainly one of the most memorable recordings of a hymn of yearning, humility, and praise I've heard since it was recorded so long ago. I have returned to this recording time and time again. Inspirational. Moving. Pure spiritual joie de vivre!
This was the first ever performance of this song
I'll likely never, ever get used to this rendition.
Crashes thru my worldiness & gives me hope & desire to return.
I think if you listen to this song, maybe you can put your doctrinal disagreements to rest just for a moment and just appreciate the amazing grace that is more than we can comprehend.
This is PowerFul, everything. this just bring Joy and repentance to a sinners heart. whoever did this, you reach one.
God's Fount of Every Blessing is for all who love God with all their hearts, body, mind, soul and love their neighbor as their self.
Wonderful video and performance. It obviously speaks for itself. Those who are sensitive to the spirit can feel it when they listen. Those motivated by other influences might not. Period. Just enjoy the peace that comes when you listen, and feel the spirit. It's your choice.
This is absolutely the best performance of this song that I have heard on UA-cam or anywhere else online. It's pure and beautiful! Thank you for putting this where we could find it. At this time in the world, we can all benefit from precious feelings like this.
Proud to be part of the fullness of the Gospel I love everyone white green purple black yellow red blue brown people there's no such things as race in God eyes only love......I'm a proud black Mormon and if anyone don't think so come to westend of Louisville where there's only 3 white family and the rest are all black and hispanic.
this has yet to fail to bring tears to my eyes.
I've always loved liturgical pieces with triumphal endings.
Amen brother.
What a great arrangement of a charming song. This video and song I never tire of.
It builds and builds. The girl with the tear gets me everytime because she feels about music the way I do....that great music is soul stirring. I'd say now, that you can play this at my funeral. But alas, because I am a drummer, some idiot will think I prefer "wipeout."
"Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here's my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above." My Lord, My God... this IS my daily cry, my daily plea... Do for me my Lord, that which Can Not do for myself!!!
This is mine as well.
I'm an agnostic but man, this music is wonderful.
BYU Choir are Voices of angels who sing to praise Gods name.
Such beautiful, gorgeous music; such a distorted and twisted false belief in Jesus Christ and the Trinity.
Praise be to the Most Holy Trinity.This, a most angelic piece of human endeavour,God must be very pleased, may He grant you all the graces necessary to continue.Thanks to each of you.
you may think it sad.... but I watch this clip regularly....weekly maybe....and everytime I see it, I get something new from it..... its a fabulous arrangement with superb singing......
The most beautiful version of this song I've ever heard. My absolute favorite hymn.
absolutly beautiful.... we did this song at my honors choir but not quite like this at all. i thought that we were fantastic, and i always got chills when we sang it, but this really got me just now.
I love the 90s
For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing;they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten.Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun (...)Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom( ...) Ecclesiastes 9:5,610, Pastor Robinson knows nothing in his grave because his dead, that what Bible teach us. And the hymn is beautiful and the performance is also very touching.
I am not LDS.... Im not of any faith as it happens but that apart, I love this hymn tune arranged by Mack Wilberg. You don't need to be of faith to admire wonderful music and words even if it has a religious base - you just need to be a person who cares for other human beings and who believes in something. Simple really.
Plead with you to read the Book of Mormon, that along with the Bible testifies of Christ..ask God if it is truth.
AmandaCaines ...Beautifully said!
The plain and precious things that are missing have created an element of deception and hard heartedness that keeps others blinded and unwilling to see the truth. It is very frustrating. I'm with you Jake, and I feel your pain. The day will come when all will know the truth, and some will be very surprised.
Magnificent rendition.
What a friend we have in Jesus
I heard this version twelve years ago and it still sounds wonderful to me. 😍💯
The most beautiful rendition of this hymn I’ve ever heard. It always brings me to tears.
Thank you, BYU music dept.! It may be from 1994, but a timeless and tender performance. I hope the upcoming revised LDS hymn book will welcome this song back. It's been missed!
ON ONENESS"
John 17: 11, 21-22
"And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that THEY may be ONE, AS WE ARE.
That THEY "ALL" may be ONE; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be ONE IN US: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that THEY MAY BE ONE, even as we are ONE:
When we reach the heavenly realms of God's glory and encounter the beautiful singing of angels, we will hear nothing more beautiful than this rendition of this beloved piece of music.
