Much respect to my junior high school music teacher/choir director, who had complete faith and confidence to believe that we could learn this difficult piece. Our choir of black students from inner city Louisville, Kentucky won second place in the state that year. Thank you Ms. Genevive Churchill for giving us confidence (and a love of music) that has lasted a lifetime.

This choir has always been a source of inspiration, encouragement and comfort to me. I miss the time when they were accompanied by an organist. It feels like the orchestra drowns out choir. I can no longer feel the peaceful feelings I had before.it’s like trying to have a conversation with someone who has their radio turned up full blast.

I’m here post-COVID and the world is truly falling apart. We’re all divided. Men’s hearts are failing them. Wars and rumors of wars abound. Pride, deception, destruction covers the earth. Please Jesus, hasten thy return. We need Thee.

So I'm sitting here paying some bills and listening to this, and I just can't help from commenting on how beautiful this song is. The older I get the more I appreciate and admire the magnificent Savior of us all, Jesus Christ. Truly, HE is "mighty to save". The Mormon Tabernacle Choir does a fantastic job of helping listeners to feel His holy Spirit. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

"To live is to suffer. To survive is to find meaning in the suffering."- Mans search for meaning. My savior is my meaning....he gets me through my suffering. i love him with all my soul. Beautiful song.

This is a very beautiful song, the story behind this song is also a very sad story, I listened to this song when my heart is saddened and worry about my children, I love the Lord with all my heart and know He listens to us when we pray to Him!

I was blessed to be able to sing this with a Regional Church Choir in California more than 30 years ago. There were 300 people singing in this choir, we had an orchestra and we traveled to the different areas to sing. We did sound like the Tabernacle Choir. Max Fisher was our Choir Director. It was wonderful. 💕

My great grandfather was best friends and composed music with Charles Gounod. That is why my late-father and I have his last name as our middle name.

I can hardly listen to this without weeping!
-
A stunningly beautiful song sung by a marvelous choir. Thank you, thank you!

I used to sing the solo version of this, as did my mother before me. I have lost my singing voice to vocal tremor, as did she (in her early 50s; I was 63 at the onset of tremor). It's lovely to listen to this again. My mother had such a beautiful voice. She was truly a contralto, with a high range; I was a mezzo.
-
The most perfect example I know of the song of the heart being a prayer unto God. I love my Savior.
-
This wonderful hymn makes one feel in the presence of Jesus Christ, our Saviour. So beautifully performed by the choir of His true Church.
-
Truly, this is the song of the soul seeking after the peace that our Lord's Atonement brings. I have needed the Divine Redeemer in my life and I am grateful for His love and mercy.

I sing this wonderful song myself in my choir here in Germany. Whenever I sing it or whenever I listen to it here I think of this very young girl whom I've never met, but from whom I know that she has had a cruel accident two years ago. She is still suffering from this accident and I never know whether she is still alive when I try to talk to her on the internet the next day. So I know what I mean when I'm singing "Hear my cry! Come and save me, oh Lord"

This is one of the most humbling tributes to the Jesus Christ our Redeemer. I wished I could buy into the Mormon thing but I just can't.
-
Whatever the pain, it will be healed and redeemed. Whatever the joy, it’s just a mere hint of what is to come.

Thank you President Monson for this song sung at your funeral;
-
Dear Lord, turn me not away….receive me, though unworthy.
