Beautifully done! As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I greatly enjoyed this powerful rendition of a favorite hymn.
Thank you for singing a most beloved hymn of the Latter-day Saints. Blessings to our Christian cousins.
Truly, the spirit of god like a fire IS burning!
This favourite Mormon hymn is beautifully sung and preformed by our Methodist friends.
Didn’t Joseph Smith wish to become a Methodist before he reported his First Vision?
@@isaiahgorski4030 Mormon here! ✋
Yes, originally Joseph Smith wanted to join with the Methodist faith.
As a Latter-day Saint, I was so thrilled and excited to listen to one of our favorite and original LDS hymns being sung by another denomination. The Spirit of the Lord was there and the voices of this beautiful choir moved me. Thank you.
I'm also a member of the LDS Church, and it's awesome to hear this being sung by a different church. The lyrics are powerful! I do have a question about if they understood the song's lyrics, especially the first part, where it talks about the restoration of the Gospel in the Latter days. Regardless, its awesome!
I too am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and this is easily my favorite hymn.
You just did it justice. Thank you very much!! Chills!! Especially at the key changes! Great job to everyone involved!
Written for the dedication of the Kirtland Temple. I was told by a descendant of one of the original choir that the members were divided into four groups standing in the four distant corners of the room for the performance. It was a joyous occasion!
A big thanks to our Methodist brothers and sisters. This is a hymn beloved to us Latter day Saints.
The singer in the middle looks like a real Southern gentleman. And what a great voice he has.
I love to see this. A Methodist chior singing an LDS hymn. I am LDS, and hate people saying we're not Christian, but when I see this, it touches me. Why do people have to be bitter enemies because of different beliefs. Christ taught love, and I try to live as he did every day.
Agreed 100% Kristopher
kristopher barker - yeah but LDS are not Christians... This isn’t a matter of being bitter, it’s truth. What qualifies an organisation to call themselves Christian when their fundamental doctrines are unchristian? Christ was the fulfilment of prophecy and your leaders teach that Joseph Smith came to restore the gospel. Christ says ‘the gates of hell shall not prevail...’ so who are we to believe? Jesus of Nazareth or Joseph Smith? Christians believe that Christ was enough. The Word made flesh. God (Jn 1:1-14) was it. There was no need for another. To teach that He was to be followed by a backward boy from the United States... if Christ’s sacrifice wasn’t sufficient, then we are all marching straight to Hell. If you want to be a Christian, you won’t become one by being LDS, if that hurts your feelings, then perhaps your attachment to Mormonism is more emotional, than true spiritual conversion. God bless you!
Beautiful rendition of the Latter-Day Saint Hymn. Chills!👍
Finally all will sing this wonderfull Hymn,
This choir touched my heart....What a song!!
WOW! AMAZING! Are we sure there weren't heavenly Hosts of angels singing with them? WOW! Just totally, WOW! BEAUTIFUL and POWERFUL!
I cried 😢
WOW................well done. Great to hear LDS hymn sung by other churches. AWESOME! Hallelujah. PRAISE THE LORD!
We use their music a well, I especially like the modern him like open the eyes of my heart
Its great to here this beautifully LDS hymn sung in other churches. This song brings me so much joy and peace😇
A beautiful rendition! Brought years to my eyes as I thought of the return of Christ.
the hymn # 2 of the church of jesus chirst of latter days saints now singing by our brothers of methodist church ,,,very nice
Lovely rendition from our Methodist brothers and sisters!
Jesus forgive our sin and clean our thoughts in our hearths and mind and every anger in our body and heal us and save us alleluia amen
This Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ' anthem was so well represented and sung by the Choir of Peachtree Road United Methodist Church and The Georgia Boy Choir. . . just WOW!
Absolutely inspiring. For me, this hymn captures a portion of the feeling we will all have when Christ returns in glory and power. Beautiful choir, amazing orchestra and spectacular church! Thank you for putting so much of your own spirits into this majestic hymn of praise!
I love the power with which you sing this hymn. It is the most powerful, majestic hymn I know, and everyone else whispers the part "We'll sing and we'll shout." This is a song of praise for the power and glory of God. Well done!
This particular arrangement was done by Mack Wilberg, the current Music Director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. We also had the opportunity to sing this arrangement in the dedication of one of our local meetinghouses and it was a very spiritual experience. Thank you for singing this in your congregation. You sang it beautifully, majestically, and full of spirit! It moved me to tears and I have already watched it several times. Priceless ‘tho the two kids yawning at 3:02, 4:05, and 4:20. They must not have gotten enough sleep before the performance. Lol
This is the tune/arrangement that the RLDS have always sung it to.
Wow that was truly one of the most powerful renditions of this beautiful hymn that I have ever heard! Thank you for sharing it. It gave me chills head to toe! Thank you for singing and playing so beautifully! I have really missed worshipping through music so I'm so grateful to have come across your performance. Thank you so much.
So great your rendition of this amazing hymn. May God bless all Christians, so they sing with their hearts, and may God bless the United United Methodist church!!!
Best arrangement of Dr.Mack Wilberg, Mormon Tabernacle Choir Director❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this Beautiful rendition of one of my favorite songs!
So beautiful.
I love my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ❤️
Wonderful rendition!! This is a dear hymn to me and I appreciate this very much, thank you.
I am very impressed with this choir. On the way they preformed this hymn. I love this hymn as a member of The church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Thank you
Gorgeous. Truly does the hymn justice.
This is one of my favourite hymnns, and this rendition is so powerful, the tempo, the intention, mine eyes wept. Thank you. This proves that music is from God, to God, and every soul can sing and shout Hosanna.
The best performance of that music I've heard. Thanks you!
wow, this hymn is one I have only heard in "LDS/Mormon" & "RLDS" (Community of Christ) settings since it was written by a Mormon in the 1800s. Nice rendering.
I agree with Leon Berg! A. Feliz
I agree with Leon Berg
Antonio Feliz
Praise the Almighty
This is an amazing arrangement of a powerful hymn shared by the Utah LDS and Community of Christ. The tempo is Mormon, the tune of the refrain is Community of Christ. Great to hear it performed and appreciated in a Methodist setting.
love this hymn
Beautiful rendition of one of my favorite hymns.
kudos to the three tenors and the choir. Beautiful rendition.
BEAUTIFUL!! Many thanks!
It's a little slower than what i'm use to hearing. But you can almost have chance to ponder the words, as they're sung. Very nice job. It would be cool to hear you sing a few other LDS songs. You've definitely got the voices for them. Keep up the great work.
Wow! Seriously got chills! Done absolutely perfectly! As good as motab, but different, and I say a good different! The slower tempo was inspired!
Una gran sorpresa...
praise the Lord
amen amen amen, je fais membre de la communauté du Christ (RLDS) et je suis fière et toujours émus lorsque j'entends cette hymn amen et encore amen merci
The Spirit of God like a fire is burning
The latter-day glory begins to come forth
The visions and blessings of old are returning
And angels are coming to visit the earth
We'll sing and we'll shout with the armies of heaven
Hosanna, hosanna to God and the Lamb
Let glory to them in the highest be given
Henceforth and forever, Amen and amen
The Lord is extending the Saints' understanding
Restoring their judges and all as at first
The knowledge and power of God are expanding
The veil o'er the earth is beginning to burst. Chorus
We'll call in our solemn assemblies in spirit
To spread forth the kingdom of heaven abroad
That we through our faith may begin to inherit
The visions and blessings and glories of God Chorus
How blessed the day when the lamb and the lion
Shall lie down together without any ire
And Ephraim be crowned with his blessing in Zion
As Jesus descends with his chariot of fire Chorus

Wow!!!! Spectacular.
WOW.
My favourite LDS hymn after Come, come ye Saints
Rob from New Zealand
Wonderfully done! This is one of our most sacred hymns and you all did it so well!
+Lorin Bruns Thank you so much!
Awesome job guys!
Methodists singing a traditional Mormon hymn? Mind officially blown.
Now I really want to hear the Red Army Choir sing it.
I will do it for our 122 Siberian Regiment celebration ))
It doesn't matter whose singing it: Latter-day Saint, Presbyterian, Adventist, or Methodist, the feeling is exactly the same and you can see it in the soloists and in the faces of the choir, they know what they're feeling and THEY LOVE IT. The look on the Pastors face, she can't figure out what it is, you can see her thinking through it, but she knows it's good and she's proud of her choir. The lead soloist is excellent and they all did an amazing justice to the hymn. What a feeling they all got to enjoy together as a worshiping congregation and the acoustics in the building carry it. Instrumentals, everyone great! I really like how it gets louder and louder and they're literally shouting and there's smiles on so many of their faces. They know they sang their best for their Savior. Power, powerful stuff. Standing ovation
Praise God.
Wow this is absolutely amazing and beautiful! I Love it!
wonder what it would have been like to live in Kirkland
This hit me in the feelz. Thank you.
Lovely!
Beautiful!!!!
Beautiful performance, congrats!!
What a migthy performance
Gorgeous!
Gorgeous!
Gorgeous!
Extremely majestic!
Best version!
Much better than any of the great choirs at the Mormon Tabernacle!
Well done! This is one of my favorite hymns.
One of my favorite hymns and anthems as it speaks about a restoration (which we believe has occurred) as opposed to a reformation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I was surprised to see it preformed by a choir not of LDS or Community of Christ, and in a church setting. The performance was magnificent and brought tears to my eyes just as it has at any other setting I have seen or been a part of. Well done.
My questions are as follows:
1) Who found, selected and decided to perform this piece?
2) Were the choir members, including the soloists, musicians, organist (beautiful organ btw), the conductor (and I'll also include the church officials seated on the stand) aware of the gospel doctrine, particularly LDS church doctrine that this sacred anthem proclaims?
3) What was felt by the choir members while practicing and performing this sacred anthem?
I can tell you that I felt that very Spirit of God and hope that you did also. Once again, Well done and BRAVO!!!
+Ron Walker Thank you for you kind words! The Georgia Boy Choir has members of many different faiths and denominations. We strive always to present the most authentic performance possible. We are glad that you found this video so moving.
Merci de ce partage
It is quite true that this is an early LDS hymn by WIlliam Phelps; but except
for the reference to "latter day glory" (which can be generic in meaning), the content is not exclusively LDS or RLDS (CofChrist).
Wonder if they know the history of the hymn.
smiley face.
We members of Community of Christ (formerly known as the RLDS church) tend to sing this traditional historical hymn at a much faster tempo than this version and faster than the LdS/Mormons tend to sing too. :)
You are an RLDS brother Berg, I am a fellow LDS believer in Christ, I would like to know more about RLDS Church. I think it is sad that churches have to break up over small misunderstanding and shouldn't talk things out
Brett Duffy I agree. Conversation is important. Good place for LdS/Mormons to read about Community of Christ -- www.latter-dayseekers.org/
leon d berg why is there so much hate between our churches, and traditional Christianity Baptist Methodist Exedra normally don't like us as well
I would love to hear this sung at a faster tempo---the way you are saying RLDS sing it. I loved this slower version as well. I usually play it at a fairly good clip for my Mormon congregation ( faster than most Mormon organists.) I would love to hear the "faster" version. It is a powerful piece of music and text--- no matter the speed.
It does surprise me to hear another faith singing about what I think are uniquely Mormon doctrinal points, such as the "veil beginning to burst," calling in our "solemn assemblies," "Latter-day glory begins to come forth." Also about "Angels are coming to visit the Earth" We are excoriated for claiming such a thing! This is all so interesting to me. Any comments (respectful) are appreciated. I'm very interested in hearing some of your views.
@leon d berg: if you were going to give typical Community of Christ tempos a numeric range, what would it be? This piece seems to go for solemn/regal at about 80bpm, but I'd guess most Mountain/CoJCOLDS congregations pick 96bpm on the low end and go up to 120bpm when feeling spirited.
The absolutely the slowest I've ever heard this sung :-D But Beautiful nontheless
I agree. If a less accomplished congregation sung it at this pace, all would be dead or bored to tears by the end. This choir, organist, orchestra-----absolutely inspired to take it at this tempo. Absolutely inspired!
