[leviwill]

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.

[joshuajared]

I remember singing this in grade school and Junior high. Life was much better when God was in our lives.

[esthercarmany]

In loving memory of PFC George Henry Wolpert KIA 9-19-1944: son, brother

[elizabethking]

We sing this in our church. Beautiful and inspiring!

[salzwell]

I'm not Mormon but your choir music is beautiful.

[leonanitabuff]

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.

[Loveroffood]

I love that president regan gave them the title of "america's choir." They earned it.

[Colonel.G]

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.

[katherinem.]

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!!

[pedmst]

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.

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

"GOD OF OUR FATHERS" is the official national hymn of our United States of America.

[patriciaemory]

I am not Mormon, but your music is so beautiful!!! I listen to it a lot!

[sharonthomson]

I love this Hymn. One of my Favorites!

[txstgeorge]

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.

[johnuhr-henry]

A magnificent hymn sung superbly by the Mormons.No better choir in the land of the free.
