Unfortunately, having been born this century, I did not grow up singing this. Yet having heard it now, Lord willing, it will stay with me forever. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised.
Be not dismayed and disheartened, because it looks like we are in a turning point worldwide with the uncovering and exposure of the evil hidden powers that have been controlling the world for centuries, resulting in Wars and the death of Millions. The people are waking up to the corruption and control that has gripped the world for so long. There is no need for me to bring up coin words but everyone who is hearing the message and is awake, understands what I'm saying. We can thank God for this turn around that appears to be occurring at the last minute.
Yes, I remember singing this in grade school, too. And even though our world is ever changing, I thank God He is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. Most of all His truth lives on when songs like these continue to echo throughout time in memorial.
I was reading the hymn "God of our Fathers," a prayer for our nation. I find its words and found these decisions far more vital than the ones most of the USA is worried about. These are the proper responses to God's blessings in these two verses. You might also note how far we have strayed from this prayer: 2. Thy Love divine hath led us in the past. In this free land by thee our lot is cast. Be thou our ruler, guardian, guide, and stay. Thy Word Our Law, thy Paths our chosen ways. 3. From wars alarms, from deadly pestilence, Be thy Strong arm our ever sure defense; Thy true religion in our hearts increase, Thy Bounteous goodness, nourish us in peace.
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL I LEARNED THIS HYMN IN THE LUTHERN CHURCH AS WELL AS BEING ABLE TO SING IT WITH MY FELLOW GIRLSCOUTS AT OUR MEETINGS IN THE 50,S . NOW AS A 73 THREE YEAR ADULT I STILL SING IT AND TO ME IT IS THE MOST MAJESTIC HYMN IN ALL CHRISTANDOM. THE WORDS EXPRESS THE CHERISHED BELIEFS OF ALL CHRISTIANS NO MATTER WHAT BECOMES OF THIS WORLD THESE WORDS ARE THE TRUTH OF THE REALITY O F GOD
We must sow good seeds to grow closer to God…we make mistakes, but repent and do a little better every day. Do not fall behind!! If you have, do your best to catch up….but feed your spirit and do good every day!!
May God raise up mighty prayer warriors who will fervently pray for our once great nation who honored and loved our God, may he raise up laborers into the Harvest armed with the Truth the salvation is through Jesus Christ. May His name be blessed on earth as it is in heaven. What an awesome song. Thank you for posting it.
I love this beautiful, patriotic hymn with Mack Wilberg's arrangement. In the hymnals there is a fanfare for trumpets that I do miss, however. Probably because our son, Michael, played the trumpet, and played this hymn. He was one of 2 Freshmen in his high school band that was asked to play with the "Trumpet Line" in the over 350 piece marching band. When he died Homecoming Night, six of his buddies played the fanfare while the congregation at his funeral sang. It was, and still is, a very special hymn for me.
God of our fathers, whose almighty hand Leads forth in beauty all the starry band Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies, Our grateful songs before Thy throne arise. Thy love divine hath led us in the past, In this free land by Thee our lot is cast; Be Thou our ruler, guardian, guide and stay, Thy Word our law, Thy paths our chosen way. From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence, Be Thy strong arm our ever sure defense; Thy true religion in our hearts increase, Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace. Refresh Thy people on their toilsome way, Lead us from night to never-ending day; Fill all our lives with love and grace divine, And glory, laud, and praise be ever Thine.
bonito himno interpretado por el mejor coro del mundo el Coro del Tabernaculo Mormon,de la unica y verdadera iglesia de Jesucristo,la cual si obedecemos los Mandamientos de Dios podremos heredar la Vida Eterna.
I AM PLEASED TO HEAR THESE HYMNS AND I KNOW THEY ARE BEING SUNG BY GIFTED PEOPLE , AND SUNG FOR THE GLORY OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO IS AND WILL REMAIN ON THE THRONE
I just came from a Fourth of July concert in which they sang this hymn. I have known it all my life but this was the first time I really slowed down and read the words. I was deeply moved and stood in awe of the magnificent God who rules the universe. I also stood in honor of my father who served in the army air corps in World War II and my Marine nephew who served two tours in Iraq and was wounded both times.
As a national (Christian) hymn it's great. But a national *anthem* needs to be for all the people of the United States, not just the Christians. I think "America the Beautiful" is the best anthem we have, even though it's unofficial.
It is on the list of the 10 best choirs in the world and they already toured in Europe, we know them well. The list made does not say which is better of the 10, they are placed in any order. They do it to show that they are the best. It is an honor that you have it in your country. Best regards
Rosemary Wightman YES! ME TOO! Costa Mesa Ca Ward. The Book Of Mormon is sacred to ME since I’m a descendant of the Lamanites that have survived! We are in 110 tribes HERE in N America, especially the Algonquin & Iroquois tribes (extending up into Canada). In our ancient language, “shalom”! Peace be to you & all our people! (Ojibwa & Mohawk)
You're absolutely right about that! In fact, in Colossians 3:2, we are exhorted by the apostle Paul to set our minds on the things above, not on the things of earth. Also, when you do this, it will impact the way you behave, live and think.
eeuu es "parte" de america del "norte", tan grande es su ego para creer semejante estupidez, son buenos en muchas cosas, pero en otras son el extremo de la brutalidad.
lobizoncate Es acceptable usar el termino "America" para representar EEUU tal como un mexicano puede decir "Mexico" para representar los "Estados Unidos Mexicanos". No implico que tu eres mexicano, pero el mismo principio existe en este ejemplo. No tienes que usar tanto enojo simplemente porque una persona complimenta una cancion patriotica. Y esto que acuerdo de que somos extremo de la brutalidad, pero la misma brutalidad existe en otros paises tambien. No es un atributo singular de EEUU.
it's amazing that as Christians we can love text of song and the melody that that supports it but can't approve of it because it was written by a man or woman that was of a different faith or even a different race. the contents of this great hymn lifts high our Great Creator as He should be. The sad truth is that this great hymn is NOT included hymn books endorsed by many of the major US organizations. let's get over ourselves and start looking at the spiritual content of these Great songs/hymn.
I really hated that the one year in high school, while in the band, we were playing this for the Spring Concert but I couldn't attend it because the 2nd half of that year I was going to Vo-Tech.
we sing a lot of these in the Young Adult choir . I was wondering why the Mormon Tabernacle Choir does not have like 17 year old & up in their choir. we have 4 choirs at church Jr choir,young peoples choir & young adult choir an Adult choir and a orchestra too
Bob Biarnesen, Jesus said "Seek and you shall find" . But if you are truly sincere in your search, please look up Google images of "bacterial flagellum". It has a rotor, stator, bushing, O-rings, S-rings, drive shaft, a universal joint and a proton motor. It can rotate at up 100,000 rpm, stop and reverse direction in just 1/4 turn! Not designed or created? Guess again! -- Blessings, Bob, and sincerest best wishes in your search. In the Bible, God says that if you seek me with all your heart, you shall surely find me." :-) -- John
Maybe a belied in the divine creative force that is beyond our ordinary comprehension will come to you some day. I like this line from a song: "We are all the glowing embers of a distant fire". Good speed!
Another wonderful hymn. The only con;during the entire song all the musicians are hidden by the excessive images and landscape added to the video. I prefer watch the video without all that pictures and scenery.
Unfortunately, having been born this century, I did not grow up singing this. Yet having heard it now, Lord willing, it will stay with me forever. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised.
I'm not Mormon but your choir music is beautiful.
Me too. I'm not mormon but they have the best choir of the world. Its amazing.
Love it.
And every one is a volunteer.
I remember singing this in grade school and Junior high. Life was much better when God was in our lives.
Almost can't be said more simply and better - correct Sandra.
Sandra Castrini-Catalano We love you Sandra.

He still is 🙂
Amen to that! He lifts our eyes and hearts upward if were open and willing to listen to his still small voice. Thank Heavens the Gospel was restored
We sing this in our church. Beautiful and inspiring!
In loving memory of PFC George Henry Wolpert KIA 9-19-1944: son, brother

Yes, I remember singing this in grade school, too. And even though our world is ever changing, I thank God He is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. Most of all His truth lives on when songs like these continue to echo throughout time in memorial.
Is true what did you wrote!!
God is the same all the time!!
Me too. 2nd grade is when I first heard it and learned it
We need this hymn now more than ever.
I grow up with this hymn. It’s a classical 💖

I love that president regan gave them the title of "america's choir." They earned it.
This is the best Tribute I have ever heard for our Lord Jesus Christ.
I heard the Tabernacle Choir only once when I passed through SLC when I was a kid. Voices like GOD'S angels!
May God raise up mighty prayer warriors who will fervently pray for our once great nation who honored and loved our God, may he raise up laborers into the Harvest armed with the Truth the salvation is through Jesus Christ. May His name be blessed on earth as it is in heaven. What an awesome song. Thank you for posting it.
A magnificent hymn sung superbly by the Mormons.No better choir in the land of the free.
Best version of this hymn ever. Thank you Mack Wilberg, whoever you are!
He is, in fact, the conductor of the Choir :)

God of our fathers, whose almighty hand
Leads forth in beauty all the starry band
Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,
Our grateful songs before Thy throne arise.
Thy love divine hath led us in the past,
In this free land by Thee our lot is cast;
Be Thou our ruler, guardian, guide and stay,
Thy Word our law, Thy paths our chosen way.
From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence,

Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.
Refresh Thy people on their toilsome way,
Lead us from night to never-ending day;
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
And glory, laud, and praise be ever Thine.
Brings me back to high school when we sang this for our Memorial Day concert
oooooh ! Not a mormon but wooooooaw ! May God bless your voices !!!
I am not Mormon, but your music is so beautiful!!! I listen to it a lot!
Desde Colombia le deseo lo mejor y bendigo a los EEUU.
Beautiful, heartfelt and deeply touching words 💖 by a man who experienced the American civil war, sung by a truly awesome choir! 🙏🏻💎 ❤️🇺🇸❤️
Thank-you for this great hymn. May God bless His country on the Promised Land with freedom and peace, as we persist in righteousness.
I love this Hymn. One of my Favorites!
Jesus the light of the world I love the light and I know the light loves me
Beautiful and powerful1

Splendid performance. God of our fathers.......
Oh, wow... haven't hear this hymn in such a very long time!! Beautiful!
"GOD OF OUR FATHERS" is the official national hymn of our United States of America.
I AM PLEASED TO HEAR THESE HYMNS AND I KNOW THEY ARE BEING SUNG BY GIFTED PEOPLE , AND SUNG FOR THE GLORY OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO IS AND WILL REMAIN ON THE THRONE
Amen.
Silent night
God bless and protect our great republic...amen
Tremendous, I never tire of hearing y'all perform this. Thank you from Mississippi!
To God be the Glory!
Moving, sending tears in my eyes.
The true heavenly song.
I just came from a Fourth of July concert in which they sang this hymn. I have known it all my life but this was the first time I really slowed down and read the words. I was deeply moved and stood in awe of the magnificent God who rules the universe.
I also stood in honor of my father who served in the army air corps in World War II and my Marine nephew who served two tours in Iraq and was wounded both times.
Stupendous. Five key changes! Beautiful as befits the significance of this hymn.
This should be our National anthem!
it's our national hymn written to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the declaration of independence.
It is our national hymn but don't say that out loud!
As a national (Christian) hymn it's great. But a national *anthem* needs to be for all the people of the United States, not just the Christians. I think "America the Beautiful" is the best anthem we have, even though it's unofficial.
I did not know that, thank you
The Battle Hymn of the Republic might also work as a national anthem.
Tremendous, and a perfect perfomance!. Thank you from Tucumán--Argentina!.--
God was with us today 🇺🇸
This song is #1
Amazing!
This has always been one of my favorite hymns. I love the harmonies, the power and of course the message.
This is one of my favorite hymns you perform, MTC! Well done!
Certanly no better choir in the land of the free. A Great arrangement by Mack Wilberg and the MTC!
It is on the list of the 10 best choirs in the world and they already toured in Europe, we know them well. The list made does not say which is better of the 10, they are placed in any order. They do it to show that they are the best. It is an honor that you have it in your country. Best regards
God you are our holy spirit amen
Beautiful tune, effective key changes, excellent flowing camerawork...
Beautiful! Good job, Mormons!
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ. "Thy true religion in our hearts increase; Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace."
Visiting Salt Lake City in the 70's, our geology traveling group attended the Mormon choir studio. Great to hear people singing.
This song kills the fingers to play.....but watching 4 of my friends sing it in perfect harmony was worth it.
OUR LORD GOD FOREVER AND ALWAYS!!!
Awesome, just Awesome!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏾🙏🏾
A wonderful hymn and video.
I enjoy listening to the hymns on Sunday.
The true and faithful to their beliefs need to endeavor to persevere. Good song
iam a member of the lds church the tabernacle choir sing from the heart it brings a tear to my
eyes iam so proud of them all

God of our Fathers, and still our Fathers thine
Best Choral arrangement of this hymn ever.
Wonderful. Thank you. God Bless The U.S.A...………………….Ken.
Ouhhh wow... Love it.. Thanks for this wonderful arrangement... Greets from Uruguay...thanks to all of you
The things of God Are true and eternal, and they are the only source by which men can return to him.......
You're absolutely right about that! In fact, in Colossians 3:2, we are exhorted by the apostle Paul to set our minds on the things above, not on the things of earth.
Also, when you do this, it will impact the way you behave, live and think.
ANOTHER GREAT HYMN SUNG BEAUTIFULLY BY THE MTC.
Nice Harmony by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to honor independence day. I hope you blessed by this song to remember america.

Good performance I love it ,I always admire the group
Magnific!
Uplifting! Thank you.
So very emotional watching & hearing this Beautiful Mormon Tabernacle Choir❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is the national hymn of the United States. I don't think many know that anymore.
it's amazing that as Christians we can love text of song and the melody that that supports it but can't approve of it because it was written by a man or woman that was of a different faith or even a different race. the contents of this great hymn lifts high our Great Creator as He should be.

Fenséges,gyönyörű.
I loved this song.
Beautiful
The mind is like this.
❤❤❤ 🎉 спасибо братья и сестры.
Amen!
This is a great idea
끝 없는 영원한길 그분의 길 영혼의 순수한 합창
I really hated that the one year in high school, while in the band, we were playing this for the Spring Concert but I couldn't attend it because the 2nd half of that year I was going to Vo-Tech.
Great!
LINDO!
哈利路亚赞美主❤🙏
Como não dizer que está composição não foi criação divina?
we sing a lot of these in the Young Adult choir . I was wondering why the Mormon Tabernacle Choir does not have like 17 year old & up in their choir.
we have 4 choirs at church Jr choir,young peoples choir & young adult choir an Adult choir and a orchestra too
Even this Atheist loves to hear this Choir - I just wish I could believe and hold to something
A desire to believe is a start. May you find truth and peace.
If you listen, and ask Him. He will find you.

Maybe a belied in the divine creative force that is beyond our ordinary comprehension will come to you some day. I like this line from a song: "We are all the glowing embers of a distant fire". Good speed!
And I meant "belief", not "belied"! And "God speed," not "Good speed". Good grief!!
Another wonderful hymn.
The only con;during the entire song all the musicians are hidden by the excessive images and landscape added to the video.
I prefer watch the video without all that pictures and scenery.
If you watch some of their other music videos, you will see choir members of different races.
Very nice arrangement. A varient of this is the U.S. Army Hymn.//..
Where are the trumpets that are supposed to play before each stanza?
Amen..
Please does anyone have the sheet music of this particular song, not the one in the hymn book, this exact one, I’ll really appreciate it
pls how do i get to download your mp3 on my tablet
