As somebody who has sang this song a hundred times with a choir, I know this was extremely difficult being no less than six feet apart from anyone, in any direction, and being able to hear the others, and to be able to sing loud enough with a mask on, while enunciating well enough to be as clear and understandable as they are. I think they did an exceptional job.

I sang this song with the choir every Sunday about 70 years ago. I have always loved it, and this is the finest version I have heard on YT. Thanks for sharing it!

I love that I found this. We sang this in my elementary school choir and I have never forgotten it. I just thought to look it up on YouTube and was so happy to find it here. It’s a beautiful song.

Beautiful. I sang this song with my cousins as an alto

[theironherder]

With some assurance, I can state that this is the best cover of this song on YT. Thank you.

Beautiful if you just listen. The masks....so sad...

I absolutely love this and miss singing it with my a Capella choir. Great job. I just bought a copy to play on harp.

Absolutely beautiful! My soul was blessed!

Outstanding, exceptional, total perfection. This performance is truly marvelous, and they were standing six feet apart. Our choir sang this song every Sabbath. Doctor George Whitehead
