- The song is titled "I Love The Lord". The arrangement is by Ronald Staheli. The lyrics are a paraphrase of 2 Nephi 4.
I Love the Lord
I love the Lord, in Him my soul delights.
Upon His word, I ponder day and night.
He's heard my cry, brought visions to my sleep,
And kept me safe o'er deserts and the deep.
He's filled my heart with His consuming love,
And borne me high on wings of His great dove.
Yet oft I groan, "O wretched man am I"
My flesh is weak and Im encompassed by
A world of sin, which holds me in its thrall,
If I give in and to temptations fall.
Then strength grows slack, I waste in sorrows vale;
My peace destroyed, my enemies prevail.
Awake, my soul! No longer droop in sin.
Rejoice, my heart! And let me praise again,
The Lord my God, who is my rock and stay
To keep me strict upon His straight, plain way.
Oh let me shake at the first sight of sin
And thus escape my foes without and in.
I love the Lord, In him my soul delights. - บันเทิง

I was a part of the choir singing this song and I have to tell you it was one of the most moving experiences of my life. After finishing it was one of the most incredible feelings in the conference center. You could literally hear a pin drop. The songs message and principles have certainly changed my life for the better.
I was in the audience and I totally agree with you. When that final note lingered into silence = wow. Usually in between the song and prayer people start to rustle around and you can hear a lot of audience noise. Not after this song. A pin drop would have seemed deafening.
I was sitting in a chapel in Taiwan when I heard the performance. It moved me to tears. Unfortunately, those around me couldn’t understand the lyrics. I can only imagine what it would have been like in the conference center-listening or performing! I later bought the sheet music and translated it into Chinese. We performed it in our ward’s sacrament meeting, but four singers can’t match the power of the BYU Men’s Choir.
This is definitely one of those moments where you remembered where you were when this song came out in Conference.
Thank you for creating this beauty. It moved me to tears and gave me such a sense and presence of God.
AMAZING Job....my favorite version
14 years later and it still gives me peace when I listen to it.
11yrs ago I commented that this is my go to song whenever I am down. Still is 🦾
Thanks,
Jesus
This is my go-to song when I'm having a rough day or feel alone. Thanks for posting
This song can always bring tears to my eyes. Dr. Staheli is such an incredible arranger, and the choir sounds phenomenal. This made me want to join the BYU choirs.
I can't remember too many songs sung a cappella in general conference. This was by far the best, if not one best songs ever. It gave me goosebumps then and still does to this day. The BYU men's choir hit a grand slam that night.
It's too bad Mormons committed the unpardonable sin and are condemned for abusing the innocent against God in great and unrelenting hubris.
@@1JMoney I’m sorry you have the wrong number.
@@1pt21jigawatt Shut up.
I think this performance and this song, moved God himself. Such spiritually moving emotion in everyone who hears it. God bless all of you for such an award-winning performance!
I do Love the Lord Jesus Christ! He is my Savior and my Exemplar! I have been greatly blessed when I have followed His teachings and life's work! I am sooooo grateful for the love my Savior and Heavenly Father have given me and my family! I believe the entire world and all mankind are blessed beyond measure by our Lord Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father!
Amazing, it is so far the most beautiful version of Finnish Jean Sibelius’ “Finlandia”, that I’ve heard with other words than ours... Sibelius wanted also people to rise and see higher to take their lives to the next level. He walked in the Finnish forests and fields and got the inspiration to music often there, in direct contact with nature and many would say our Heavenly Father. This song from 1890s was the cornerstone of the national awakening in Finland - and when getting our independence from Soviet Russia in 1917 - our national flag was centered with a blue CROSS on a white background. The cross is the Christian background of our country, culture and faith. (Such as in other Nordic countries). Very interesting and inspiring that this song becomes a hymn for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Very beautifully sung, beautiful words too which I would think also Sibelius would probably love very much to hear... ☺️
All I can say is that this song helped me through a time that I was really scared. I heard it for the first time in General Priesthood April 07. I had just been diagnosed with cancer and was really scared with what the future held for me. This song help calm me, and to this day when I hear this song tears come to my eyes.
I love the Lord. I remember reading the 4th chapter of 2 Nephi, and being so moved by the Spirit, being consumed rather. This chapter already made me so grateful for the Lord's abounding mercy and his guide and help for overcoming our carnal, sinful nature, but along to Be Still, My Soul, it is so incredibly beautiful.
Oh let me shake at the first sight of sin! One of my favorite lyrics ever! What a gorgeous song performed perfectly. I remember hearing it in conference and feeling the spirit as strong as I had ever felt it in my life!
Mormon's choir is the best existing! Always makes me feel like going back to church again.
It's the BYU men's choir. Yes, the choir at Temple Square is amazing too!😊
My God this rendition gives me chills. I love the Lord indeed
"Great evil can be dismissed with one inspired song." Thank You BYU Men's Chorus!
Very few things bring the spirit so strong as the sound of men's harmony, singing praises to God. Beauty.
I am crying right now. Every time I watch this I feel sorrow and joy. This song gives me strength to fight.
keep fighting
Feel exactly the same way
We are singing this Hymn for our Stake Conference this coming Sunday. The practices have been exhilarating. I love the whole hymn but the part that makes me want to sing with all that I am is “Oh Lord my God, who is my Rock and stay. To keep me strict upon His straight plain way. Oh let me shake at the first sight of sin, and thus escape my foes without and in. Very powerful to say the least! It’s a prayer from my heart.
I recall this being sung at priesthood conference. It was one of the most stirring choral pieces I've ever heard, both in terms of quality and message.
these are sounds of heaven
This piece was arranged by Dr. Ronald Staheli of Brigham Young University Singers. He is a world renowned choral conductor. I was privileged to sing under him, and under his tutelage I experienced some of the best moments of my entire life. I really love this man. You can get a sense of just how great he is when listening to some of his amazing works...:))).
Dr. Staheli's arrangement is stunningly beautiful. The medieval organum style, harmonic changes and sublime counterpoint make this arrangement one of a kind.
Thank you for the healing of my heart in the midst of my imperfections from New Zealand
I love the Lord, he gives my soul delight
Upon His word I ponder day and night.
He's heard my cry, brought visions to my sleep
And kept me safe o'er deserts and the deep.
He's filled my heart with His consuming love,
And borne me high on wings of His great dove.
Yet oft I groan, "O wretched man am I"
My flesh is weak and Im encompassed by
A world of sin, which holds me in its thrall,
If I give in and to temptations fall.
Then strength grows slack, I waste in sorrows vale;
My peace destroyed, my enemies prevail.
Awake, my soul! No longer droop in sin.
Rejoice, my heart! And let me praise again
The Lord my God, who is my rock and stay
To keep me strict upon His straight, plain way.
O let me shake at the first sight of sin
And thus escape my foes without and in.

Be Still my Soul - from Finlandia. In Brass or in Voice - its Beautiful !!
By far the best rendition the "Be still my soul" tune, I'm truly grateful for this hymn and to Nephi for writing this psalm! I love it
nkanyiso nzama yboytcc
Amen 🙏
Singing creating that sound, inside that choir must be a transcendental cathartic experience
It was one of the best experiences of my life. :)
it almost makes one feel like there are only a few thousand people are allowed in heaven. . .
It clearly says it's an "arrangement" for those of you freaking out. Be Still My Soul is one of my favorite hymns and this was beautiful.
gives me chills every time i listen to it. such a great arrangement!
I love this hymn, what a splendid rendition. Thank you for sharing.
The tune is composed by the famous finnish composer Jean Sibelius! It is part of Finlandia and should be listened to in its proper environment. The composition describes Finland's struggle for freedom during our latest war.This particular song sumbolizes the finnish army kneeling in the batterfield in worn uniforms praying för help from above! And help came! We won lur freedom!
+Gunilla Hannelius Thank you :) I needed to hear this
Did you read my free translation of the original text? Beginning with the words..Oh Finland see your morning light is breaking..the darknes fades so threatening and long..the night is gone and fresh breaths you are taking ..your morning's breaking o Fatherland....the whole Finlandia sends chills along ones spine..even mine allthough I have heard it over and over again..
+Gunilla Hannelius God bless Finland!

Thank you for explaining the original words. I've always loved the tune, especially in its original setting, but I'd never searched out a translation of the words. I love it! In one of my few Finnish sentences: Suomi on kaunis ma! And I rejoice in its freedom and life!
I was there in person when they sung this. It was absolutely amazing. You could hear a pin drop afterwards it was so moving.
Be still and know, He is GOD
Thank you for posting this. I had the opportunity to sing in this choir for conference and it was a wonderful and amazing experience. It's hard to see me cause it's so blurry but I was able to see myself in at least two of the mid to wider shots. :)
This was probably my favorite song we ever sang in Men's Choir. Much love to Sister Hall and everyone else that I haven't seen from that choir in nearly 10 years now (WOW time flies)! I'm also very glad to read the comments and see how many people loved this song. We really tried to do it justice and invite the Spirit. I'll cherish this forever. Thanks again for posting.
You can find a clearer version of this video here: www.lds.org/general-conference/2007/04?lang=eng
It should be noted that Ronald Staheli, the arranger, was also the conductor on this occasion. If there is to be an "official" version of this song's interp, this is it.
Imagine if this was just a whisper of heaven
Everytime when I need an urge to read the gospal, I listen to this song. The preformance makes me feel the connection between me, the lord and the cathalic faith. Thank you for uploading because this song gives me peace and a great state of mind.
So the words from this song are taken from the Book of Mormon. From 2 Nephi 4. It's also known as "Nephi's Psalm". But I can imagine that people across a spectrum of many faiths resonate with this song.
Thank you for sharing this special song in net. Comes right into my heart as it is almost the national anthem of Finland. Blessings!
Absolutely beautiful performance of a transcendent hymn. Shout out to John Tanner for the beautiful (iambic pentameter) text which is such a beautiful and powerful restatement of Nephi’s psalm.
I could listen to this all day every day. Simply beautiful in every way!
Beautiful, powerful and soothing..... heaven is felt
That is one heck of an organ.
Wonderful. A beautiful arrangement and touching performance. Thanks Sara for introducing me to this.
My favorite rendition of this song
This is amazing! A beautiful take on one of my go-to hymns when I'm feeling disappointed. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Stunning, glorious, worshipful, and transcendently heavenly!
Young, clear voices without vibrato. How awesome is that!
Absolutely love the overtones they created in this piece. Especially chilling at 'let me shake'
Loving God and enjoying a quiet soul work together . . . most of the time. Or, as someone said, "sometimes we just have to pick up our handcarts and head West."
This is a pretty hymn! I loved it from day one when I heard it.
Thanks,
Jesus
I watched this performance during the priesthood session, and it was so powerful and moving. I still think of it as a great spiritual experience that left me better than before I heard it. I especially love the text.
I want to say thank you for uploading this video.. I truley, love listening to beautiful songs about the catholic faith. God bless you
I believe these are Mormons....not Catholic...
Utterly brilliant !!!
I listen to this every time I read 2 Nephi 4. Such a powerfully moving rendition of such a wonderful psalm. Absolutely beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful!
One of the most beautiful arr. I've ever heard. I absolutely LOVE this song!! :)
This is SO beautiful, it brings tears to my eyes.
Everything stopped in my home when I turned this rendition of "Be Still My Soul" sung acapella. I'm sure our Lord was pleased for he loves the human voice. I love the orchestra but there is such a harmonic blend of voices to work with. My request would be to hear more acapella hymns sung. Acapella singing is so moving to the mind and soothing to the soul. Not to forget the talent that creates such heartfelt sound.

This song is made by our (Finland) Jean Sibelius!!! I am proud that that fabulous choir (Mormons) sings that. Here in Finland we use that enourmous beautiful song in the videos of war, vhich our soldiers fighted against Soviet Union and kept with their sacriface of their life, our independence! This song is a honor of our soldiers!!!!!!
The tune is Finlandia- composed by Jean Sibelus, arranged by Dr. Ronald Staheli.
This touches me so much
I love this, so much. Nothing is more soothing.
this was so impressive the first time i seen it live and it still is. props to the original writer of the song and to the guy who put the words from second nephi in it. both versions are inspiring

We did a SATB arrangement of this piece for our Stake Conference. Tenor 1 and Tenor 2 became Soprano and Alto. We sang it with Organ, in which I had to write the accompaniment to accompany the choir. We really belted this piece out extremely well and was well praised for our work.
men's choirs ROCK. zero dislikes. WOW
Beautiful
AMEN!
Oh boy another one of my favorite songs, well done, God bless you!! :)
