I'm a Canadian and I love my American brothers and sisters. God bless you !
America is the greatest nation on earth where freedom, opportunity, prosperity and our civil society can flourish.
We owe a gratitude of thanks to the brave men, women and their families who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Teach you children well.
I'm Korean but I always wanna be an american. When I did my military service for my motherland, my battle buddies were you guys Americans and I'm always proud of them. God Bless Korea and America!
aww we love korea too! i hope to go there some day! thank you for coming here! 💛 sending love from the usa!
@jun Thank you for your service not just for your country and its allies, but for all humanity which yearns to be free.
God bless you and Korea! From a USAF Vietnam Era Veteran, INDIANA, USA🇺🇸
@@yunhotaco lmao my dear asian persuasion, exactly who's "we" when your "loyalty" is bought as cheaply and as easily by a loaf of american bread.
@@aaabbb-py5xd i’m confused... i was just saying we appreciate korea too..? i don’t know what you’re comment is supposed to mean, and i’m not ignoring the asian persecution, i was literally seeing we like korea too.. and i mean everyone but the racists. stop tryna start stuff 😭
Does anyone else get goosebumps listening to this?
Every time.
Always
Does getting all choked up count? I spent 26+ yrs in the Air Force too. The third verse kills me.
America needs this kind of spirit at the moment.
We surely do.
But, listen to the words of this song. Uplifting!
@Robert Robinson Can you repost in English please?
Needs to sung in schools every day.
@Robert Robinson So Needed to be sung in schools every day.
Kinda I guess
Makes me proud to be an American. We need more music like this.
I can picture myself marching into battle to this song ❤❤❤ but I'm Irish and as brilliant this is , we march to fenian tunes🎉 Go lads and ladies.
Makes me almost wish I was an American. America, still the " Shining City on the Hill" in our dreams. God bless you.
For you, yes. For us Americans, not quite.
One is not American because they are born here, they are American through the values we see as universal truths - the values of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
@@offtopic.writer8281 Couldn’t have said it better.
@@anthonychilders9549 a comunnist?
That's truth🇺🇲🇧🇷
I'm not American, but this so moving. I can only imagine what listening to the best choir in the world with this wonderful military band does for you guys across the Atlantic!
THANK YOU - it brings me to tears whenever I hear it.
Ditto! Goosebumps!!!
Brilliant
The best I listen alot
David Allen, being an American, My dad was a Marine, in Korean war, my husband was in Vietnam! I have lived in the world with fighting for us~ God Bless us all!
What a grouping, the greatest choir in the world with an excellent military band. Must have been an outstanding concert.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@BandWestPoint
I have no words to express my gratitude for service ALL you will give to our country.
Whenever I felt fear while serving in Vietnam,. I could hear The Battle Hymn of The Republic in my head,. and I knew what I was there for.
DaveJenn ARMY STRONG
@@davejenn6051 damn thats something
@Dave Jenn you sir are the reason Gods truth is marching on, through your courage and sacrifice, freedom and liberty get to live another day. my greatest admirations to you
Yes. This makes me want to join the military. But I feel like God is taking me on a different path.
I bet when Julia Howe wrote this she never would have guessed it could be sung with so much passion and force and I think she would have liked it.
She sold the song to the Atlantic Monthly to be published. She was paid $3.75. One of the most moving pieces of music ever written. It's the soul of this country in words. We need to remember that and follow it's lead, now more than ever. We've lost our way and we need to find that road again.
The "He died to make men holy so let us die to make men free" line sinks the hoop for me.
@@jackhazardous4008 The sad thing is. That after almost 160 years later we all aren't equal. There are people who still aren't being treated as an equal individual. We are still fighting the Civil War, we are still struggling through the 60's trying to do what Julia was saying "make men free".
@@glenmcgregor3366Everyone has equal rights what are you smoking.
@@Killertiller01 Yeah, right. You try being a minority and down in the deep South and try that on them. Especially after dark
I am not LDS but beleive this to be the best Choir in the world
I’m Australian and I have to say that I’m in envy of such a moving Hymn. So beautifully sung.
I’m proud to be American.
Why?
Me, too!
@@FFM0594 because we be vibin
@@FFM0594 cause we are, we can have our respective opinions, right?
Because WE are free!
No matter what’s going on in the world and the person in our White House, I still love my country and love America!!!!
If we cant unite under our leader we sure as hell can unite under the flag.
all of which has absolutely nothing to do with this horrible song.
Amen!!
@@Nubs163 lol!!!!! And yet you are here listening to it. Lol
@@jenniferraymond3913 it's called internet
My Dad was a Korean War combat vet. When he passed 45 years ago the Church choir sang this song. The Battle Hymn of the Republic always brings proud tear to my eyes.
Today is The 4th of July, what excellent way to spend time to listen to outstanding patriotic music by outstanding professional choir. Thank you, for uplifting my day with beautiful voices.
Read the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights to remember what we are about. Our troops at the time walked in the snow barefoot to fight for our freedoms. Valley Forge.
Thank you, I graduated with a degree in History and taught it. I do understand what the day means what it’s about, and history. I just love the music, and the history behind it. Hope your 4th of July is great.
So heartwarming.
One correction. This is not a "professional" choir. Each and every one of these great singers is an unpaid volunteer. They take their own time to rehearse and when they travel, they pay their own way. That is one of the amazing thngs about "America's Choir". And today it is hard to believe, but the 1954 recording of this song by this choir was the at the top of the Charts. Yes, the Battle Hymn of the Republic!!! That wouldn't happen today. Sad to say.
@@Kalamabbfan Thank you Wayne, that's what makes it much more special.
I cry at our National Anthem and the Battle Hymm of the Republic, and I sob at
"In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea
With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me
As he died to make men holy let us die to make men free
His truth is marching on."
AMEN 🕊️
Jude -- You correctly quoted the original lyrics. Note, however, that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir (now called The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square) uses different words: "As He died to make men holy, let us LIVE to make men free." The change in wording is not meant as a slight to those who've made the ultimate sacrifice in the cause of freedom; rather, it's a call to the rest of us to live our lives in a manner that preserves, protects, and enhances the freedom of those around us.
GOD BLESS AMERICA and the PHILIPPINES.
True that brothers in arms during WW2 we love the Philippines
🇺🇸🤝🇵🇭
We love you too buddy. God bless you sir 🙏🏻🇺🇸
Brilliant, love from England to all our American cousins .
One of the things this choir and this song brings out - is the beauty of each set of voices; the men sound so smooth and powerful, the woman so wonderfully beautiful - but it is when you put them together that the real beauty comes out for all to hear in all their magnificent glory! This makes me so very proud to be an American!
MERICA!!!
Your comment brought tears to my eyes. Thank you!
I would have to agree.
one of the best hymn I've ever heard! from south korea🇰🇷
The only time I saw my dad cry was to this song.
He was a Green Beret and was away when a young man in our church was killed by a land mine in Vietnam. My dad was asked to bring his body home. My dad was standing in the aisle of the church with the casket behind him. My grandpa was the pastor of the church. My family was seated in the balcony. He was standing there in his dress uniform larger than life itself. He tried but he couldn’t hold back the tears. I’m guessing he felt some guilt. My dad did four tours in Southeast Asia, cracked two vertebrae in his neck and fractured his skull in a parachuting accident and lived to see another day. The soldier was there for four months and didn’t survive. He also joined the Army because of my dad. I learned that day my dad was a human being. He was still my hero then and now. He’s been gone five years. I miss him but I find strength in knowing that I will one day see him again.
I couldn’t listen to the song without crying until he passed away. I know that when he passed that burden he carried had been lifted away by God’s mercy.
My lord, what a story. I want to offer words, but all I feel is the need to be silent. God bless your dad and those who loved him.
God bless you and your dad and your family. Such a moving story. Thanks to your dad and all who have served. Prayers for those who lost their lives in the service of our country.
How beautiful! RIP, Richard's dad!!! Thank you for your service, sir.
Very Powerful Sir ... 🇺🇸
Glory to God alone
no one singled out talent, Everyone is part of one voice
The United States of America is the Greatest Nation that has ever been! Look how far we have come! God Bless America!
And we have more miles to go to be "a perfect union".
@@1m2rich The United States is made up of people. People are not perfect. We have made progress and God willing, we will continue to do so.
This was awesome! The greatest version of this song I’ve ever heard. It penetrates right to the heart of American patriotism. God bless America. 🇺🇸
We learned this song in elementary school and 55+ years later it still gives me chills. Wonderful!
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He has loosed the fateful lightening of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on (gloria)
Glory, glory, hallelujah (gloria)
Glory, glory, hallelujah (gloria, gloria)
Glory, glory, hallelujah (gloria)
His truth is marching on
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps
I can read His righteous sentence in the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me
As He died to make men holy let us live to make men free
While God is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on, amen, amen
Julia Ward Howe, William Steffe
"As He died to make men holy let us live to make men free"
What an incredibly beautiful lyric!
Julia Howe said she dreamed the entire lyrics while sleeping, woke up and wrote them down.
Thank you. 💝🦁🐑🕊💫
Thanks for posting the lyrics.
Thank you for writing the lyrics I was able to sing along ❤️
This is so profoundly beautiful and evocative. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is second to none, and the West Point Band outstanding as well. Plus that setting? Must have been an unbeatable experience.
*Outstanding. This song, particularly when combined with the magnificent power of this choir, stirs my soul...*
*”...He died to make men holy; Let us live to make men FREE...”*
*Tears in my eyes...*
I am from Wales and I would just like to say, that is an awesome choir!
That's something, coming from Wales. Thank you.
Some years back, I was driving out to California. I stopped in Salt Lake City. I learned that on many evenings, you could watch the Choir rehearse at no charge at the Tabernacle Temple.
o_O
Every Thursday evening for sure (before and, we hope, after Covid) in the Tabernacle or in summer in the Conference Center on Temple Square.
@@leezurligen227 awesome, I need to hear them some day when I visit the west
Don’t you have to be Mormon to enter a temple though?
@@81mysharona The Salt Lake Tabernacle is not a temple, it’s just a large auditorium where conferences or concerts are held. It is the dome-shaped building next to the Salt Lake Temple.
Its "let us die to make man free" this song honors the sacrifice in the cival war. Changing this line detracts from these sacrifices, and the neccessities of them
The main message of that line is that people are not afraid and willing too sacrifice their life for the freedom of others. It is really twisting the message.
Yes, this was a later change. Point well taken, Robert. Hero's have "lived" AND hero's have "died" to make man free, some have left their blood on the battle field like many of our fathers, and some have died, and not come home, all hero's, rest in peace, all.
When 'die' is changed to 'live' the song is a little less militaristic and applicable as just a hymn. I think that 'die' is much more impactful however.
Let us die is reserved for military servicemen. Those singing are civilians. They offer respect.
@@bonjovi2792 Source: dude trust me
God bless all peace and freedom loving people of the word.
Amen! These hate peddling religious groups who murder maim and kill should take a look at these wonderful peace loving Mormons and learn many a lesson. God bless the peace makers in the world whatever religion they practise xx
World
Nobody can sing this magnificent song better than the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
@@DivinePeace1102 true, but that distracts from the sentiment of the above comment
God-Bless America. My prayer's are with you all.🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😇😇
@Calvin Karson
This is a bot comment 🤣
I read that as u sus u sus lol
LET BLM AND ANTIFA HEAR IT LOUD AND CLEAR THEN PUT THEM ALLL IN JAIL SO THEY CAN THINK ABOUT WHERE THEY WERE BORN
@@eddiemorin1902 BLM literally has destroyed black and hispanic businesses in the middle of protests against racism. Antifa is "against fascism" but if they win by shrinking the conservatives they will be fascist because fascist governments are run by a one political party system aka the Nazi party that suppresses their opponents through propaganda and violence. Can you not see how evil they both are? They both, if they succeed, will have been racist or fascist, so are you joking or what?
The enunciation is excellent -- not easy with a massed choir.
The members of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir excels at this - you would not believe how much they practice. And they are ALL volunteers.
Yes - the enunciation is as though it's a single voice. We had the pleasure of sitting in on one of their rehearsals several years ago. It was a wonderful experience. No nonsense, no messing around by the singers- they take it very seriously.
@@mikemorris5730 My sister is LDS. We live in different states and both journeyed to our home town in SE Texas for a parent's birthday about 20 years ago. I attended the LDS church in our hometown with my sister that Sunday. One lady sitting in front and just to the left of us was with her grown daughter. When we sang the hymns, she was outstanding, such a beautiful voice, such clarity, but not over shadowing anyone. I enjoy singing and don't need a bucket to carry a tune, but I shut up so I could just listen to her singing. 😊 After the service I found out she was a member of the Tabernacle Choir and just happened to be in town visiting her daughter that weekend. I'm grateful that our paths came together here. It was such a joy. 🤗
Two great American institutions and one great song.
they sung this song bevore they fighted and died for others.. every time . thank you
.... WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN I HEARD A CHOIR OF ANGEL'S!!!💌❤️
Wow! Those Mormons sure can sing! That West Point band is terrific!
While I can’t claim to be a Christian, I can align myself with the value of devoting ones life to the freedom of another that so clearly comes out of these lyrics. This is a beautiful presentation of what we can call a “transversal” value
I mean the whole 1800s were extremely rooted in conservative Victorian ideals which are heavily influenced by the bible since it was one of the few books that people had access to. This song reflects more of the time, and the war, not just religion.
@@gopherfan118 Yes. The last line has been re-written for our times (and the MTC used the new line, not the original.) The original line went: "As He died to make men holy, let us die to make them free. Our God is marching on." Now we've changed it to "let us live to make men free" a thoroughly modern and not Victorian concept of war. Oh, and the word "Glory" in the refrain meant "heaven" or "salvation" not just "honors" as we use that word today. So the original song is of soldiers longing to die for Jesus and go directly to heaven in the effort to make men free. Very Victorian and not modern at all.
@@marypatperego4147 could be pointed out to you guys that the "Victorians " built the biggest empire in history and largely shaped the modern world because they lived up to that last line. Today society is coming apart at the seams though
May you experience the miracle redemption power flowing from the Cross of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
That dynamic control starting at 00:42 until 00:49 is just absolute perfection.
Agreed! OUTSTANDING!
Noticed that too, really good
Yes, Sir......
It absolutely is........
The accuracy of these singers brought me to tears!!!!!! JOYFUL TEARS!
I am listening to this in England my late mother who passed away on the 13th of April 2020 had been a member of the church since 1967 she had some records of the Tabernacle Choir and this was featured on one of them they are a great choir
🙏
My parents brought their children up Christian. Mom loved and cherished all holidays but Christmas had a special place in her heart. Every year she would dust off the albums that she felt best embodied the spirit of this holy day. The number one album was of course the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The next best was Neil Diamond’s album “Christmas Songs”. Neil’s vocals always managed to light-up, on Christmas day, his gritty soul and flair for nuance. So, to the Tabernacle Choir and Neil Diamond, my extended family salutes you for providing spirituality and joy within our hearts.
With the present rough times, we really need this song. Thanks so much.
If I was into the bucket list thing - only thing I would have on my bucket list would be to see a concert by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir live in person. Have loved their music ever since hearing it first as a kid, more than 60 years ago.
Actually it is the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. In 2018, the leadership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints asked people to stop using the terms "Mormon" and "LDS".
@@DivinePeace1102 And no one cares. It will always be the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
@@JohnMichaelson Hey, you should care, I go to the Church of the Jesus of Latter Day Saints and it is something important to us. We are always being persecuted because when people say Mormon it refers to many different Mormon churches and people hear a Mormon did something bad and instantly associate it with us.
@@fallenwarrior3946 Relax. I'm a member of the same Church and the important thing here is that people feel the spirit of the Lord and the Patriotic spirit while watching this.. Not arguing about names.
@@fallenwarrior3946 Hard to claim persecution when you try to suppress gays.
Legend has it, when Lincoln was first presented this song intron of the Army of the Potomac he broke into tears, cant say I blame him
I've seen my share of performances of this song, and this! Is THE BEST! IT CANT POSSIBLY BE ANY BETTER!
The subtle crescendos and the power of the message. God Blessed America 🇺🇸. Let's not let him down! 🙏 pray for our UNITY!

Sung originally by Northerners during the US Civil War... which freed slaves.
Outstanding performance.
Lol, the hell they did.. 5 northern states practiced slavery and Lincoln never signed the emancipation proclamation and called blacks sub humans

I'll be at Gettysburg this July for the 160th Anniversary of the Battle. This will be in my mind and watching and marching on the battlefield with the hymn on my lips. HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON!
Proud Scottish-American 🇺🇸🏴🇬🇧. Even if the USA doesn’t always live up to the ideals of the constitution, as long as there are *true American patriots* fighting for the freedom of all people regardless of things such as sexuality or ethnicity. We will improve and move forward towards the destiny of all free people: Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. God bless America, and may freedom ring!
I love this song! Love from the Oldest Ally of the United States in Asia and to the Most Pro-American country in the Planet, the Philippines! Side-by-side we will fight with you! To spread freedom and democracy!
I was part of the All State Regional Choir directed by Charlie Nelson in I think 1973. We sang this. It still remains as one of the greatest experiences of my life. Something very spiritual happened between all of us in that choir that day. I will never forget it. The best of the human spirit.
Tears in my eyes, remembers me at my time of Deployment in Afghanistan together with our American Allies. May God continue blessing America. btw. there is also a german Version of it . in honor to BG Ludwig Blenker - Commander of the 8th New York Reserve Regiment.
No better love than to lay my life for another
Amen and Glory to God alone!
Hope you don't have to.
Our Union soldiers sang this as they marched in the Civil War. 300,000 plus young men died in that war to end slavery and save the Union.600,000 plus died all told on both sides.
Very proud of these young men and women of West Point. They volunteered to keep peace and keep us safe. Thank you for your service you will soon embark on .
Please stay safe .
The West Point band are not cadets but professional musicians. Most have a masters degree in some kind of music and they are in the Army.
OH.....THANK YOU to WEST POINT and to the Tabernacle Choir!!!!! WONDERFUL!
We need more of this spirit to survive! God Bless the USA!!!
From the UK, that was extremely good.
America’s Choir 🙏👌👌👌👍👍👍👍😃
Let’s go baby!!!! USA
Boy, we could sure use some of this spirit and unity at this time in our history. God bless you all.
This is America's greatness
Seeing and hearing this gives me Hope for America and the FREE world-From South Africa!
God bless.. God, Patriotism, and stamina. We, the good people will prevail!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤💙❤
I get teary eyed every time.
This is the most beautiful choir in the world
A Very Moving Hymn, I’m Australian and love this version by the Morman Tabernacle Choir
How ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! GOOSE BUMPS AND TEARS!!! THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS WOW!!!! SSO needed!!!🇺🇸🗽🌺🌷😇❤💜💥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🗽🗽
One of the greatest songs to ever exist.
I love America so much.
There are certain American patriotic songs that are meant to be sang only in harmony to honestly sound like they have meaning. Which is this one, America the Beautiful, and The Star Spangled Banner.
His truth will always March on. God bless American! Praise His holy name!
I AM VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.. GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY, GOD KEEP IT SAFE FROM HARM FROM FOREIGN & DOMESTIC ENEMIES.. AMEN..
Wonderful song and powerful voices and music.....Much respect and admiration from your Canadian brothers up north. May god bless our countries and friendship.
Happy Birthday America ❤️🎈🇺🇸🎈 ❤️ God Bless America ❤️🙏🇺🇸🙏❤️
One of my favorite song during secondary school 1972
A lot of people may be pissed on America and Americans for their government policies outside their country, but don’t forget Americans have given so much for the mankind, and things we can’t think to live without in this gen...The GOAT 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
They truly sing this song magnificently. I was able to witness them singing this in person the chills were overwhelming
America!
This song always gives one who is in despair facing nihil of life, the Courage and Hope to fight on.
God Bless America!!!!!!!!!!!!
God Bless America!
BEAUTIFUL...
God bless the United States of America,at he show all Mercy for our ignorance, and what's going to happen in the future, may he guide us well and save us from damnation!
This song is what America is all about God Bless the greatest country in the world.
Google and then watch when this Choir sang this song at Ronald Reagan's inauguration parade in 1981. Blew everybody away!!
Hearing The Tabernacle Choir sing this uplifting Hymn gives us hope. "It's not what the future holds, but WHO holds the future!" 💝💖❤️♥️🙏🏻
Thank you, West Point Band.
The choir is all volunteer. Each LDS ward has a choir. Many members are very musically talented.
Like the Piano Guys. They are on TH-cam. Check them out.
God please bless America 🇺🇸 !
This should be played everyday in the town square.
I would be in favor of it being played at sports events.. if it was shorter.
You could play during intermissions in the game (periods, 7th inning stretch, halftime, etc)
When my daughter toured Europe with the American Concert Band and Chorus, this song made EVERYONE stand up and cheer,,,All of Europe LOVE this song...
Really!? Aww thank you for telling us that! I know you mean just the song, bit this song means a lot to us Americans and after this year we've gotten a lot of shit for literally just living in our country. Your kind words really mean a lot. Thank you, from the US
The world wants freedom and liberty.
This performance is absolutely fantastic! The Mormon Tabernacle Choir do have such an excellent reputation and for good reason.
God Bless America
Happy 4th of July to you all
Tears ... And love for this hymn and country.
Can only imagine the emotion of how that performance experienced live felt.
I love this so much have alot of pride. Brought tears to my eyes. I love our country just wish everybody did too. May God bless us all.
