So so joyful right now. BYU Men's Chorus, thank you for testifying of Christ and bringing me and my family so much peace. We love you!

[@davideastleyeuc]

We love you CJ--hopefully you'll be back sometime

[@CorimDanex]

This got me thinking. I had sung the song to myself earlier in the day I discovered this and watched this video. The idea of "Fear not, thou didst them unto me" may be more literal than we realize. Due to how much Jesus loves all of us, He surely suffers when he sees us suffer, so when we diminish the suffering of one of our brothers or sisters, it actually diminishes some of His suffering too as the cause of some of His suffering was knowing that that brother or sister was suffering. In a very real way, our rescuing of our brother or sister is felt by Him like we are helping Him directly.

So glad to be a part of this testament to the Savior! (I'm the guy in the front row second to the left at 2:27)

[@JessiMonteiro]

Bravo!

[@BrandtRedd]

How many Men's Chorus Alumni are loving this!

[@elizagoodrich9232]

I feel so blessed to be a part of the BYU Choruses! So proud of you, Men's Chorus!

An a Victor came an set in the place. Then he arose and walked away. Victory was his from birth. No power of the Devil, nor Satan could stop what is coming.

[@SheilaBDuBois]

Jesus ❤Christ is the ultimate Veteran. He paid the price for all of us! well done!

[@jasonl7349]

So great! This was my favorite music video I've been a part of!

[@tabeakalimeris1230]

Lyrics: A poor wayfaring Man of grief Hath often crossed me on my way, Who sued so humbly for relief That I could never answer nay. I had not pow’r to ask his name, Whereto he went, or whence he came; Yet there was something in his eye That won my love; I knew not why. . I spied him where a fountain burst Clear from the rock; his strength was gone. The heedless water mocked his thirst; He heard it, saw it hurrying on. I ran and raised the suff’rer up; Thrice from the stream he drained my cup, Dipped and returned it running o’er; I drank and never thirsted more. . In pris’n I saw him next, condemned To meet a traitor’s doom at morn. The tide of lying tongues I stemmed, And honored him ’mid shame and scorn. My friendship’s utmost zeal to try, He asked if I for him would die. The flesh was weak; my blood ran chill, But my free spirit cried, “I will!” . Then in a moment to my view The stranger started from disguise. The tokens in his hands I knew; The Savior stood before mine eyes. He spake, and my poor name he named, “Of me thou hast not been ashamed. These deeds shall thy memorial be; Fear not, thou didst them unto me.”

This soloist has such a beautiful voice

[@wyattkarras4955]

Love my boy Jahari!

[@zefearth973]

This is absolutely beautiful. Sometimes life feels so hard, but when you hear the right hymn, it reminds you that all things are possible through Jesus Christ. Great job, Brigham Young Men's Choir!

[@lestippetts9478]

What a beautiful concert with a remarkable testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ.. such a beautiful harmonious sound of great young man.

[@richardgregoryjr8619]

That Andrew hull guy is pretty good at the whole singing thing.

[@ENA0920]

Literal tears. Great job men of BYU💕

[@santiagotrujillo8151]

This piece is so powerful. The message always makes me emotional. Being a part of this choir has been a huge blessing to my collegiate experience

[@fdavenport7018]

I do miss hearing him sing to us in occasionally in Church services. It's not every day one is blessed to hear a magnificent world class voice like Rob's, or sit next to him in the ward choir . . .

[@braxtonanderson1885]

Go Dallin! Thank you for sharing messages about the Savior!

[@dwarfgiant12]

[@mylegalname9852]

Boostin da algorithm because my twin and cousin are in Men’s Chorus. Don’t be cringe, give the video a like and be based (I’m all seriousness, I really enjoy this arrangement, and the camera work is on point. Thanks for another good one, Men’s Chorus).

[@jessicavanroosendaal7121]

This was so beautiful! The BYU men’s chorus is always outstanding.

[@apmerrill]

Beautiful harmony!

[@jihanjoo]

It's refreshing to hear this hymn sung to the original Duane Street hymn tune, rather than the alternate version that appears in the LDS hymn book. I believe the name of the composer is George Coles, not George Cole, however,

[@hepgeoff]

Beautiful performance, especially since my two grandsons are in the choir.

[@Emma-ob1em]

I just love when men 🥰

[@leahmerrill7287]

[@jdavies]

Beautiful song and location! Thanks to all for sharing your talents to create this video. When did Men's Chorus add the large yellow stripes to the ties? It would seem my tie is history, now.

[@jasonl7349]

The new ties came when Dr. Wells took over for Dr. Hall.
