This song leads me to this day. I sang it with my little brother in choir in 1997 shortly before he died at 15 years old in a tragic accident. Our high school choir sang it at his funeral. I'll always think of him when I hear it, but it's like he's reminding me to have faith in God EVERY TIME I hear it.

[@charlottesteele3615]

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope this song as well as others brings you comfort

[@maulenaspencer4906]

Oh, I am SO sorry/sad to hear this !!! How heart-breaking. I love this version too, and I'm glad it brings you God's peace to your heart.

[@olubunmibalogun7278]

Sometimes when I'm faustrated by life and feel alone, I listen to this hymn in total darkness and silence. I silently cry my pains out to my heavenly father who hears and knows all things and He never fails to comfort and strengthen me. I love you Lord Jesus now and forever❤️

[@lisaperry7297]

I first sang this song when I was in elementary school. (I'm now 65) A student in the small parochial school I went to had died of a brain tumor. It's as beautiful now as it was 50 years ago. When the time comes for me to meet the Lord I want it sung then

My favorite arrangement of Psalm 23. Can't get enough of it. So soothing..

[@ernestorecayte2169]

"This music is the most direct art, it enters through the ear and goes to the heart"

[@arizonastrip73]

A most perceptive comment. Thank you.

[@randyking9489]

Well said. Amen

[@pjclutterbuck230473]

Such a massed choir singing in pianissimo! That takes incredible discipline and vocal training. Very impressive, and a lovely arrangement of this beautiful hymn.

[@cj-ub7mv]

2020 has been a battle..stay strong this Holy Easter & Good Friday weekend..God Bless us all sweet Jesus

[@irenegarciamuelas6431]

Thank you for bringing releif where releif is needed. God bless you all.

[@michaelfitzgerald1865]

I came across this quite by accident. I had completely forgotten this but sang it in high school choir in '76. What a treat to hear it again. All the words came back to as soon as the choir started singing.

[@bw03106]

Back when we were allowed to sing songs like this in school - for the sake of the beauty of music.

[@susanfischer4165]

Same here. I remembered all the words once the choir started to sing it

[@sundaybamidele304]

Bro James' Air is a masterpiece...

[@jsabsher6546]

I can't believe I only recently heard this beautiful setting of the 23rd Psalm. We have used it in our home sacrament service, along with other settings of the psalm.

[@mercykamau3515]

This is so peaceful and graceful. Truly, He we cast our burdens on Him without a care in the world.

[@dansilva1231]

This is my favorite Mack Wilberg arrangement in recent memory. I haven't felt so touched since his 'Still, Still, Still.'

[@florencekundhlande6390]

So painful and yet soothing to listen to this tune. I love my God.

[@exoticfanatic1378]

This is the song I turn to when I am going through a hard time:)

[@robertthomson1587]

Such a beautiful arrangement!

[@letitialyons7633]

Such beautiful peace...I kind of cried when I first heard it, because it brings to mind Eternity and loved ones at peace with all this beauty and joy!

[@Slate-writer]

A beautiful composition by James Leith Macbeth Bain. Scotsman Bain was known as 'Brother' James when he became a Spiritualist Minister in Liverpool, England. Bain authored books on his Spiritual insights and attended many seances to learn from his Spirit Guides in the Afterlife. He was an inspirational man !

[@patysays9510]

thank you for the background. I love when I know something about a song I love.

[@nantalagafirma3334]

Here listening in 2020 because this is the psalm taking me through it all!

[@randyking9489]

God bless. Just found it 5 days ago. Can listen to it for hours and never get tired.

[@gabriellemaes4078]

I listened to this over and over.. Beauty!!!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@DrTerminus]

I've listened to a lot of music through the years. Somehow I've missed this lovely piece. Simple and beautiful!

[@thomasyoung684]

Perfect union of music and verse. Calming and comforting. Sublime.

[@5531Luis]

Is so beautiful.... I can feel happy for that, your voices are fantastic, I member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and we can feel the Savior´s love... Thank you so much

[@maulenaspencer4906]

I went nuts trying to find this tune. This version is so beautiful it's making me cry.

[@stacieschofield7136]

Listening to this for the first time. I am filled with the spirit. Thank you for sharing.

[@trevorwilkerson8769]

I think this is my first time hearing it too. I am seeking more inspirational music & this along with other songs by the tabernacle choir are very inspiring.

[@bjpowellalamo]

This song filled my soul with love and gratitude for life and our Savior and Father in Heaven. I know the Lord loves his Choir and Orchestra. You touch so many hearts.

[@Nerfherder141]

This brings me joy.

[@morriesworld2776]

The amazing control and tone of this choir is what draws me to listen to them everytime

[@ldyoung7938]

He restoreth my soul!

[@MilesHarrisAustralia]

Nice piece. Inspiring and Soul Lifting Psalm.

[@daphneturvill6007]

It is well with my soul

[@mcaffee08]

phenomenal... sublime... exquisite

[@iurimilder5650]

Escutei esse hino a primeira vez quando vi o disco da comemoração dos 100 anos do Coro do Tabernáculo, e ainda hoje escuto sempre esse hino. Faz 6 anos que sempre volto aqui.

[@wmhlong]

Gracefully done!! We used to sing it without instruments!!!

[@devejer1]

Da paz a mi alma. Gracias.

[@VirtuousPraiseworthy]

What a perfect match of images and music! I've thought they need to actually call it something like "Music, the Spoken Word and Beautiful Scenery."

[@tehaueter]

Beautiful rendition...

[@stevennations9262]

Absolutely Splendid!

[@nantalagafirma3334]

Very very beautiful

[@tobiasigwe5330]

Perfect redention

[@pchegenjenga]

[@eliasalgado6661]

Me gusta mucho esta musica. Inspirada trae paz y gozo a mi alma.

[@beccamahan5655]

nice for slipping away to

[@sstanfill]

Absolutely beautiful--musical perfection only slightly marred by some sampling rate mismatch throughout and extraneous racket at 4:35 through the end of the piece.

[@exoticfanatic1378]

Christ(ians) lds believe in christ

[@Montessahall]

nice

[@miguelserrano1398]
