This is perhaps the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

[Fieldsherbert]

reminds me of my dad who passed last year...he use to row me around...now he has crossed.

I'm not LDS, but when I hear this choir, I feel like I can fly through the heavens.

[ronaldhoennicke]

A song of heart and spirit, of light and holiness, ... the center of Heaven. God lives!

[ronaldhoennicke]

When I hear this song, I am in His Presence. Jeshua Ben Eliohi

[janesmith]

Wonderful. I remember clear as the day back in the 1960s when was about 8 years old we moved in the hymn book in school (Catholic school) to the spirituals section and I was blown away by the incredible harmonies even at that age. I love to sing this.
