I first converted to the LDS faith back in the early 1970's. I had just gotten a divorce. And I then met the man who would be my husband after my baptism. We were married then a year later we, and our son were sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple. Unfortunately, about 9 years later he fell away from the church and God's gospel. I continued to go to church, with my two children, pay my tithes, and attended the Manti temple every few weeks, despite my husband having denied the Gospel. After 25 years of marriage, he divorced me. I have refused his asking me for a temple divorce. He remarried a woman he knew from High School. I am not perfect, I have been inactive off and on through the years. But the one thing that sustains me is I Know this is the True church. I now live in Southwestern Carolina the Appalachian's. I know God and His Son, Jesus Christ, love me and all my family. I am almost 70 years old and I know when I leave this plain, I can't wait to see my Savior and Our Heavenly Father, and the rest of my family. This song always makes me cry, with joy and the peace I feel from its words. I know He loves all of us. And I love all my brothers and sisters in this world. I thank Our Heavenly Father for the blessings He has given me, and watched over me. Amen.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Linda. We are so glad that you could feel the Spirit while listening to this hymn. We also hope that General Conference was an uplifting and inspiring experience for you over the weekend. Heavenly Father and Christ love you!
I am an 85 widower and about to see them all. I once left my mortal body and I know that I am an eternal spirit and that this Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the Restored Church of Jesus Christ. I am also a former Baptist minister and the Holy Spirit led me to read the Book of Mormon 53 years ago and I know it is all True. I also witnessed Israel becoming a Nation in 1948 as I was 9 years of age and heard it on my shortwave radio. Wow, I witnessed a miracle that seemed impossible. Thank you all. PS: I was married to an angel 66 years when she was called Home. I look forward to joining her as soon as Heavenly Father calls me Home too.
I'm a member of the church of Jesus christ of Latter Days Saints since 1979 I'm very happy all my family are member in this true church all I leave in the name of Jesus christ Amen
I may not be a Mormon... but I feel the devotion in this hymn... It makes me tear up every time, and I consider it part of my personal requiem, my personal penitential hymn... the most beautiful non-Catholic hymn in my book, and it always lulls me to this beautiful place of rest and respite- I feel the love of God, and feel almost as though the Father is here to tend to my aching wounds spiritual and physical. I feel the Savior’s mercy... I feel the Holy Spirit relighting the fire in my heart. If the Heavenly Mother indeed exists, then I feel her too.
Yes we are children of Heavenly Parents. I know deep down my heart we have a Heavenly Mother and feel so much love for her. I pray i live worthy to return home to my Heavenly Parents and elder brother and saviour Jesus Christ🙏❤
Opening hymn at my dad's service, he was buried in his Temple clothes, his death got me going to church. I didn't believe in organized churches, however I always knew of God and Jesus, but the church treated me like I had been a member for years and that drew me to it, how they treat each other. I bear this testimony in the name of Jesus, AMEN!
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a true and living church! Congratulations on your conversion. It took me many trials before I came back into the fold! God bless!
Since my beautiful wife of nearly 56 years passed, I sing this song most nights before I sleep. Thank God, or father for his comfort. He is really in the heavens watching over us.
My parents sang in the Tabernacle Choir in the 1950s. In those days the choir had assigned seats. I sang in the choir in 50 years later and they moved our assigned seats around month to month. To my great delight, shortly after joining the choir, I was assigned the very chair my father always sat in and on Father's Day we sang "O My Father" that day. This was one of heaven's sublime mercies as my father had been gone a few years earlier. And on the cover on the music was a picture of the choir in the 1950s... my dad sitting in the chair I now was assigned for this exceptional day!
I’ve been a member of the church since 1969, this has always been one of ,if not my favorite hymn. I’ve told my dear eternal companion to play this at my funeral. I thank God every day for the restoration of the Gospel,and for that brave man who sealed the restoration with his blood. I also thank God for a living Prophet who leads the church today. Please no haters comments it’s my beliefs and your argument and comments will never change that. God bless all who read this.
Thank you for this wonderful hymn. Oh My Father, I've A Mother There - Brothers and Sisters Too. Love you all. I am an 85 widower and about to see them all. I once left my mortal body and I know that I am an eternal spirit and that this Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the Restored Church of Jesus Christ. I am also a former Baptist minister and the Holy Spirit led me to read the Book of Mormon 53 years ago and I know it is all True.

When my grandmother was 12 years old, her mother sent her into town on an errand. She saw two well-dressed young men standing on a street corner of her hometown of Buchanan, GA singing this hymn. It touched her heart and she went home singing it. Her mother interrogated her over where she had learned it. She told her about the men. Her mother told her that they were LDS missionaries and to go back and fetch them. The missionaries had been taken out of the area due to mob violence and her family had attended another church in the interim. It was her favorite hymn for the rest of her life and was sung at her funeral.
I was born and raised in the LDS church and I cherish everyday and moment of this doctrine. Music is our way to express our feelings and emotions and at the same time show our appreciation to our Heavenly Father for all He has given us. This is a very sacred hymn to me.
My favorite song. . This songs revelation about a loving mother there makes me long for her embrace too, "when I've completed all He sent me here to do ". My wife to is on the other side and I also look forward to her embrace again too. August 2023
I'll always 💘 this song!!!!!!! MY father passed 30 years ago!!!!!! I did his temple work for the following years which i personally know he accepted!!!!!!!!😀☺😊😁😅😢😌
I turn to this Hymn whenever I need to remember, during when times are most darkest, that there's a purpose, a plan, and most importantly, a loving and merciful God who is our Father in Heaven, and a Savior who makes it possible to make it back to Him.
Im 65. Still everytime my spirit hears these truths again, He testifys to this mortal unspeakable joy, anticipation in tears overwhelming. ! It is true! We have loving parents eagerly longing our return to heavanly home. WoW.!!!
J'ai toujours ressenti l'immense profondeur des membres des Saints des derniers jours. Leurs chœurs sont sensationnels et égalent les meilleurs chœurs professionnels. J'aime prier avec leurs chants.
Thank you. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints & i do enjoy the music provided by God's One True & Only Church of Christ on the earth today through the Tabernacle Choir!! Again, thank you!!!!
My 83 year old Daddy is in ICU on the Ventilator. Trying to rest his lungs while medication tries to heal a terrible lung infection on top of COPD. He has sung this hymn every night for a long time. Now , we sing it for him. May he rest in peace while we sit for God’s will. But one day, he will see those he loves again, his Heavenly Parents, and his Savior. I’m so thankful for this hymn.
This is one of my favorite hymns. The day (hopefully far away) im buried i want this at my funeral. In Swedish , since im Swedish. Both me and my mother love this hymn , especially verse 3 and 4. We love that it mentions both our Heavenly Parents, not only Heavenly Father. When i hear the hymn i can allmost se Them stand at the gate of Heaven, eagerly waiting. Last sunday i actually drew a picture of that, but i didn’t give our Heavenly Parents faces or other bodily characteristics, i drew only the contours of them close to each other at a gate, shining with rays of light. My mother loved the picture instantly, so she had put it on the table beside the sofa where she sleeps.
It is a beautiful hymn that carries the mind and spirit to greater places. I have been inactive for many years but I still feel the peace and love rhis hymn radiates..
A beautiful rendition of one of my favorite hymns. I sang it as a solo during our 9 am service at Spokane Valley United Methodist Church on August 1, 2021. The fourth verse is so meaningful: When I leave this frail existence, When I lay this mortal by, Father, Mother, may I meet you In your royal courts on high? Then, at length, when I’ve completed All you sent me forth to do, With your mutual approbation Let me come and dwell with you.
Jessicalemmon24 I am sorry for your loss. but remember what we know and have learned. I lost my 2 cousin on my moms side of the family she died last night in her sleep. Heavenly Father took her to the spirit realm. we're we all will go. keep your head up remember he loves all is us. love you as family across the way.
This takes me back many years, when I was young and innocent. A time I made wrong choice after wrong choice. Now I'm old and full of the regret of a life that missed the right path, long ago. The door to the precious saviour, remains open, despite our failures, the choice is always ours to make. Father, I am yours. I always have been. Hallelujah.
My favorite song from my youth! This song lifts my spirit and helps me feel the Holy Ghost testifying to me that we have a Heavenly Father and Mother. And if do all we can to obey the commandments we can return to Heaven to be in Their presence.
Ce chant, je ne l'oublie Pas... c'est celui que j'ai choisie le jour de mon baptêmes dans l'église de Jésus christ des Saints des derniers jours... même si mon choix à été de la quitter...
My ABSOLUTE favorite Hymn of all time due to its inspired words and message by Eliza R. Snow. What a complete sermon of life BEFORE, PRESENT and FUTURE OUR Plan of Happiness !!
I have loved this hymn since my youth. When my dad passed away in January 2017, this was one of the hymns at his memorial service. I had no idea it was one of his favorites

@GeneralConference Thank y💖u for posting this Heavenly hymn 💖🫂 My M💖m & I love it & appreciate all that you do to practice, prepare your voices and do to organize your own personal lives to bless all those who are blessed to hear you all sing with all your faithful Heavenly hearts with all your might 💖🫂🙏
1. O my Father, thou that dwellest In the high and glorious place, When shall I regain thy presence And again behold thy face? In thy holy habitation, Did my spirit once reside? In my first primeval childhood Was I nurtured near thy side? 2. For a wise and glorious purpose Thou hast placed me here on earth And withheld the recollection Of my former friends and birth; Yet ofttimes a secret something Whispered, "You're a stranger here," And I felt that I had wandered From a more exalted sphere. 3. I had learned to call thee Father, Thru thy Spirit from on high, But, until the key of knowledge Was restored, I knew not why. In the heav'ns are parents single? No, the thought makes reason stare! Truth is reason; truth eternal Tells me I've a mother there. 4. When I leave this frail existence, When I lay this mortal by, Father, Mother, may I meet you In your royal courts on high? Then, at length, when I've completed All you sent me forth to do, With your mutual approbation Let me come and dwell with you.
Good night, for everyone. I am from Brasil and I am catholic, but since I knew that choir became a fan. I have an old albun with that marvelous music. I like very much: Come, come all ye saints, For unto us a child is born ( Haendel ) and the divine Sanctus ( Gounod ), among others. Congratulations. Araras SP BRASIL 03/01/2024
XTha k you for wonderful remarks.How firm a Foundation.70 years or not our loving Heavenly Father, has given us a committed promise that He will never forsake us. Keep within the Framework as once counselled byEldet RenLund . You are loved & a privileged Daughter of our Heavenly Father. Fear not, He has conquered the world 🎉
This too is one of my favourite hymns. It was sung at my mother in laws funeral. While on my mission one of the assistants to the mission President sang it and his voice was one of the most beautiful I've ever heard when he sang this hymn. There are two hymns that stand out as my most favorite, this "Oh My Father "and "A Poor Wayfaring Man Of Grief." Both bring the Spirit tio my heart. Their teachings are beyond what I can express on words.
this is a very humble and very sacred hymn to me and tells of where we come from and where we later go at death. To really listen to this hymn describes the LDS faith and what we believe. We have a very choice choir that sings this hymn in a very sacred way. This is one of my most treasured hymns!
I enjoy this tune, which is called Hyfrydol,. It was composed by Welsh musician Rowland Hugh Prichard around 1830, and it has been used in a number of hymns. My favorite is "I will sing of my redeemer and his wondrous love for me"
I love the beginning of this version, love the tender sound of the organ. It conveys the feeling of the hymn. This hymn is so filled with love and with longing for our heavenly home! It makes death seem less scary. The day im dying (hopefully many years away) i hope someone will sing this to me as i go💞
An inspired hymn,one of my favorite hymns,may we do all that is required which has been provided so that we can reside with Him in His royal court above
Me gusta mucho este homno es muy hermoso Grasias a jesus que estoy aqui escuchando voses muy Espirituales escuchando mease seguir adelante agradesco aDios estoy aqui bien que me liberaron bien que deje las tinieblas bine a la luz con rason dise jesucristo Benis ami los que estais trabajados y cargados que yo are descanzar wso ciento alla en las tinieblas pense estaba mejor no es asi estar con cristo es la luz descanso total sera que resien me doy cuenta parese estaba fuera de si no me daba cuenta que estaba en la oscuridad pero ahora veo la claridad nunca mas quiero la oscuridad🎼🎼🎼🙏🙏🙏👮♀️🎼🙏
No matter what doctrines may divide us, rites, teachings or anything, if we have but one thing only, total love of one GOD - Father, Son and Holy Spirit and to love one another as He commands. This is everything!
God has more for you. There are 3 Heavens. You must join the Restored Church of Jesus Christ and receive the Priesthood and gain knowledge in the Holy Temple to Enter the Celestial Kingdom. Now your knowledge is the Terrestrial kingdom only. You are saved but only to the Terrestrial Kingdom. You must merit the Celestial Kingdom by being a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am 85 years of age and joined 53 years ago. I know if you search it out you will have joy. Love you brother.
Thank you for producing this music. It goes out for the whole world to hear, carrying the good news of Jesus Christ. Thank you, too, for showing some black and brown faces among the performers.
I will sing of my Redeemer and his wondrous love to me; on the cruel cross he suffered, from the curse to set me free. Sing, O sing of my Redeemer! With his blood he purchased me; on the cross he sealed my pardon, paid the debt, and made me free.
That is so peaceful. It reminds me of my personal relationship with Heavenly Father. Yall dont even know lol maybe you do. But I alwayse felt like I was missing someone and alwayse loved good things and just found the things I loved repoeted by the prophets and I loved things but many of those were otherworldly and I felt like I missed a better Home where everyone was true and kind and their true selves and not nust a personality so currupted by pressure to say some defenition of what someone is baced off of very dull things. I was alwayse pretty worried woth how blind everyone was to beautiful truth. But I knew good was our true selves. And I am raised a member of the church but I thought of it too much of the culture and so I thought I had to get truth from culture feelings and not my most genuine feelinsg. Maybe I dodnt alwayse do that but I at least soemtiems did and I was confused. But I mean the church literly teaches all the best stuff. Even though the people were not quite like the people I dream of that I know we can all be(Im not trying to say you all are terrable Im just saying cuz its good and people alwayse make mistakes and its out of no hate to want to improve). Sometimes I wondered if the church was not true, but I was very loyal because I also knew it was true. But just a few years ago I decided I really needed to know the TRUTH. So I tried to detach my mind from the church and think of the things I know deap isnide. And long story short it lead me stright back to my testimony of the church, onlh now I saw it in a completely dofferent light. Thankfully its not culture over truth lol. But its of the very light that we have as our part of ourselves that love and want the genuine truth and to have charity! Because its to help you be the best you can be and give you knowlage of our precios Father. And I am so happy to know about Heavenly Father!! I found alot of non religios songs accually make me think of Him. Often a feeling of missing Him. And being proud to try to carry the love I know because of Him. When I feel the spirit its realer then anything.
when I've completed All you sent me forth to do, With your mutual approbation Let me come and dwell with you. Maravilloso himno, una oración para Dios...
I love this hymn. Beautiful and the lyrics are perfect :) This is one I want played for my own funeral because it encompasses the entire plan of salvation.
That helped me feel better from so many things!! I want to look up more lyrics but ya it helps remembering how my Father is a Father of love and love is what helps us be like Him. Very amasing!! Ya that song was just full of truth hu?

I turn to this Hymn whenever I need to remember, during when times are most darkest, that there's a purpose, a plan, and most importantly, a loving and merciful God who is our Father in Heaven, and a Savior who makes it possible to make it back to Him.
Im 65. Still everytime my spirit hears these truths again, He testifys to this mortal unspeakable joy, anticipation in tears overwhelming. ! It is true!

The entire plan of salvation is in this song, so beautiful, gracious and perfect.

It is a beautiful hymn that carries the mind and spirit to greater places. I have been inactive for many years but I still feel the peace and love rhis hymn radiates..
Only Jesus Saves!
A beautiful rendition of one of my favorite hymns. I sang it as a solo during our 9 am service at Spokane Valley United Methodist Church on August 1, 2021. The fourth verse is so meaningful:
When I leave this frail existence, When I lay this mortal by, Father, Mother, may I meet you In your royal courts on high?
Then, at length, when I’ve completed All you sent me forth to do, With your mutual approbation Let me come and dwell with you.
This hymn expresses the noblest yearnings of mortal existence.
I sung this song at a few deaths in my family over the years. It bring tears to my eye but it is still my favorite song.
Jessicalemmon24 I am sorry for your loss. but remember what we know and have learned. I lost my 2 cousin on my moms side of the family she died last night in her sleep. Heavenly Father took her to the spirit realm. we're we all will go. keep your head up remember he loves all is us. love you as family across the way.
This Hymn testifies that we have a Mother too.
This takes me back many years, when I was young and innocent. A time I made wrong choice after wrong choice. Now I'm old and full of the regret of a life that missed the right path, long ago. The door to the precious saviour, remains open, despite our failures, the choice is always ours to make. Father, I am yours. I always have been. Hallelujah.
My favorite song from my youth! This song lifts my spirit and helps me feel the Holy Ghost testifying to me that we have a Heavenly Father and Mother. And if do all we can to obey the commandments we can return to Heaven to be in Their presence.

I feel the same way. There is no more beautiful exposition on the Plan of Salvation than this hymn.
One day we’ll delight to sing this to Him in Heaven! 💕
My number one favorite hymn. Contains the plan of salvation and exaltation in a nutshell. To be played in my funeral service.
As I make funeral arrangements, this is my number one song to be played at my funeral....which will be sooner than later.
Bernie Sammons 🙁
I have loved this hymn since my youth. When my dad passed away in January 2017, this was one of the hymns at his memorial service. I had no idea it was one of his favorites
I am LDS, BAPTIST, BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN, ADVENTIST ETC...I LOVE EVERYONE THAT LOVES THE LORD AND EVEN THOSE WHO DON'T
Then I would like to invite you to be baptized by one who holds the proper priesthood authority of God. :)

Thank you for your love of all our Father’s children. We all need to do that!
Since my eternal princess and companion passed last year this song brings me so peace in know she's with our Father and one day I'll join her there.
My dads favourite hymn played at his funeral

1. O my Father, thou that dwellest
In the high and glorious place,
When shall I regain thy presence
And again behold thy face?
In thy holy habitation,
Did my spirit once reside?
In my first primeval childhood
Was I nurtured near thy side?
2. For a wise and glorious purpose
Thou hast placed me here on earth
And withheld the recollection
Of my former friends and birth;
Yet ofttimes a secret something
Whispered, "You're a stranger here,"
And I felt that I had wandered
From a more exalted sphere.
3. I had learned to call thee Father,
Thru thy Spirit from on high,
But, until the key of knowledge
Was restored, I knew not why.
In the heav'ns are parents single?
No, the thought makes reason stare!
Truth is reason; truth eternal
Tells me I've a mother there.
4. When I leave this frail existence,
When I lay this mortal by,
Father, Mother, may I meet you
In your royal courts on high?
Then, at length, when I've completed
All you sent me forth to do,
With your mutual approbation
Let me come and dwell with you.
One of My 😂great grandfathers brought his choir to all church members and it is my favorite music each and every day.
Also, I love how the organ at the beginning sounds like a lullaby. I sing this to my babies all the time.
Good night, for everyone. I am from Brasil and I am catholic, but since I knew that choir became a fan. I have an old albun with that marvelous music. I like very much: Come, come all ye saints, For unto us a child is born ( Haendel ) and the divine Sanctus ( Gounod ), among others. Congratulations.

XTha k you for wonderful remarks.How firm a Foundation.70 years or not our loving Heavenly Father, has given us a committed promise that He will never forsake us. Keep within the Framework as once counselled byEldet RenLund . You are loved & a privileged Daughter of our Heavenly Father. Fear not, He has conquered the world 🎉
🇳🇿what an honour it would be to be a member of this choir. Feeling very spiritual listening to this hymn. Setting the tone for my day.
This too is one of my favourite hymns. It was sung at my mother in laws funeral. While on my mission one of the assistants to the mission President sang it and his voice was one of the most beautiful I've ever heard when he sang this hymn. There are two hymns that stand out as my most favorite, this "Oh My Father "and "A Poor Wayfaring Man Of Grief." Both bring the Spirit tio my heart. Their teachings are beyond what I can express on words.
this is my favorite hymn 😩💞
Leana Lyden mine too.
நன்றி இயேசு அப்பா.
Im not Christian but I'm the child of God❤️❤️
We haven't sung this hymn in church for many years. Forgot how much I love it
Truly a Heavenly inspired hymn
I had learned to play this on harmonica at a young age.
As I become old it is such a wonderful comfort to me.
this is a very humble and very sacred hymn to me and tells of where we come from and where we later go at death. To really listen to this hymn describes the LDS faith and what we believe. We have a very choice choir that sings this hymn in a very sacred way. This is one of my most treasured hymns!
Dear Heavenly Father we love Thee
Such a glorious hymn ! Sung with devotion and beauty by this superb of choirs! Doubt it could be better!
It sounds so sincere because the belief in the words the choir has
These men and women spend a lot of time doing homework!
I cant tell How much this hymn put my mind in the eternal perspective everytime i listen to It. My favorite
Uwielbiam słuchać pieśni chóralne to moja największa pasja
I enjoy this tune, which is called Hyfrydol,. It was composed by Welsh musician Rowland Hugh Prichard around 1830, and it has been used in a number of hymns. My favorite is "I will sing of my redeemer and his wondrous love for me"
This arrangement has inspired me since I was a child. Today as I'm nearing the 70's I still find solace.
Beautiful choir makes my tear up too my heart deeply crying cause thought my Sin....
The lyrics, says it all, powerful, O MY FATHER.
Mine too!
one of my favorite hymns.so touching
I love the beginning of this version, love the tender sound of the organ. It conveys the feeling of the hymn.
This hymn is so filled with love and with longing for our heavenly home! It makes death seem less scary. The day im dying (hopefully many years away) i hope someone will sing this to me as i go💞
An inspired hymn,one of my favorite hymns,may we do all that is required which has been provided so that we can reside with Him in His royal court above
This song makes my cry and needed this as friend had suddenly past.

No matter what doctrines may divide us, rites, teachings or anything, if we have but one thing only, total love of one GOD - Father, Son and Holy Spirit and to love one another as He commands. This is everything!
God has more for you. There are 3 Heavens. You must join the Restored Church of Jesus Christ and receive the Priesthood and gain knowledge in the Holy Temple to Enter the Celestial Kingdom. Now your knowledge is the Terrestrial kingdom only. You are saved but only to the Terrestrial Kingdom. You must merit the Celestial Kingdom by being a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am 85 years of age and joined 53 years ago. I know if you search it out you will have joy. Love you brother.
I love this hymn ,I get so teary eyed
Thank you for producing this music. It goes out for the whole world to hear, carrying the good news of Jesus Christ. Thank you, too, for showing some black and brown faces among the performers.
I will sing of my Redeemer
and his wondrous love to me;
on the cruel cross he suffered,
from the curse to set me free.
Sing, O sing of my Redeemer!
With his blood he purchased me;
on the cross he sealed my pardon,
paid the debt, and made me free.
That is so peaceful. It reminds me of my personal relationship with Heavenly Father. Yall dont even know lol maybe you do. But I alwayse felt like I was missing someone and alwayse loved good things and just found the things I loved repoeted by the prophets and I loved things but many of those were otherworldly and I felt like I missed a better Home where everyone was true and kind and their true selves and not nust a personality so currupted by pressure to say some defenition of what someone is baced off of very dull things. I was alwayse pretty worried woth how blind everyone was to beautiful truth. But I knew good was our true selves. And I am raised a member of the church but I thought of it too much of the culture and so I thought I had to get truth from culture feelings and not my most genuine feelinsg. Maybe I dodnt alwayse do that but I at least soemtiems did and I was confused. But I mean the church literly teaches all the best stuff. Even though the people were not quite like the people I dream of that I know we can all be(Im not trying to say you all are terrable Im just saying cuz its good and people alwayse make mistakes and its out of no hate to want to improve). Sometimes I wondered if the church was not true, but I was very loyal because I also knew it was true. But just a few years ago I decided I really needed to know the TRUTH. So I tried to detach my mind from the church and think of the things I know deap isnide. And long story short it lead me stright back to my testimony of the church, onlh now I saw it in a completely dofferent light. Thankfully its not culture over truth lol. But its of the very light that we have as our part of ourselves that love and want the genuine truth and to have charity! Because its to help you be the best you can be and give you knowlage of our precios Father. And I am so happy to know about Heavenly Father!! I found alot of non religios songs accually make me think of Him. Often a feeling of missing Him. And being proud to try to carry the love I know because of Him.
When I feel the spirit its realer then anything.
This is the hymn i wanna sing on my wedding day
What a profound hymn. What this song can teach about the pre-mortal existence is astonishing.
Tears, just tears of joy. I cry every time I sing this beautiful song.😢
Beautiful beyond imagination!
