Beautiful. I grew up listening to this kind of music and, unfortunately, have lost my faith completely. Listening to it made me cry like an abandoned child and so, if any of you can spare a moment and say a prayer for me, I would be very grateful. Thank you.

[@gmonkey6523]

God bless you.

[@sharonofallon5543]

I have been where you are- feeling so far from my roots, and weeping unexplainably when I have heard music that draws my spirit home. I don’t know if you are still seeking, but today I am praying for you to be aware that He chose you and loves you. God bless you!

"Don't be afraid, just believe." Mark 5:36. I hope your journey is better now, four years since your post.

[@melodymccrary]

Praying for you this moment. A tender heart needs a Savior. Seek and you will find. If you need someone to communicate with, please reach out to me.

[@johnhunter1198]

@@melodymccrary I did the same for judeobscure here at my desk at the end of a long work day.

[@Travisvader22]

Made me cry. This was sung at my friend's funeral Monday March 2nd, 2020 she was in an icy accident and died. She went to my church. R.I.P. Shelby my dear friend.

[@ryanmclucas2673]

Incredible. This is what I imagine the choirs of angels in Heaven sound like!

[@MrScaryPasta]

😭 We played this at my cousin's vigil. Hearing this song makes me miss her so much. 😭

[@ShadowPoet174]

I don't think I've ever heard a more beautiful version of "Nearer, My God, To Thee" ever. I almost couldn't breathe at the end, it was like I couldn't get air. Just amazing.

[@김용갑-p6s]

아름다운 찬양입니다. 하나님을 찬양하는 목소리는 어디서, 어느때, 누가 부르더래도 천상에서 들려오는 소리와 같은 향기로운 목소리이지요. 그 찬양을 들을 때에는 얼마나 마음의 포근함과 편안함을 느낄 수 있는지 들어보지 않는 사람을 느끼지 못하지요. 그 찬양이 더욱 지구 곳곳에 울러퍼질 때 하나님의 온전함과 그분의 깊은 사랑과 은혜가 넓혀져서 하늘에는 평화와 땅에서는 기뻐함을 깨달을 수가 있지요. 찬양대에 감사를 드립니다.

I don't think I've ever heard this beautiful old hymn sung better. Magnificent!

[@Travisvader22]

This was sung at my friend's funeral of this year of this week of Monday March 2nd, 2020. She died in an icy car crash and died

[@hs325jhk]

Amazing choral ! Very emotional song ! Thank you so much Concordia Choir !

[@wdot]

If that won't bring a tear to your eye something is wrong with you. Beautiful.

[@joshuajohnson7764]

Reminds me of the time we sang with the King’s Singers there organized in the same manner in the Memorial Auditorium…an awe inspiring experience.

[@johnj.flanagan-songsoffaith]

Beautiful. This hymn is so uplifting. Soli Deo Gloria.

[@UtahImplosion]

Amazing! That brought tears to my eyes! Just the version I was looking for! I live in Utah, and the Mormons here have plenty of pretty versions of this song available, but they are all nice and gentle and soft. I wanted something emotional and powerful, and this is what I was looking for! Thank you so much Concordia Choir! You did this song better than the Mormon Tabernacle Choir could!

[@brianbaumgarn5795]

Being a huge football fan and former college player, it is great to say that the most memorable thing about this college's homecoming was this rendition. When alums can't wait to come back to sing with you, you have heritage!

[@jamesjbilenkijrusnret7319]

They can stand toe to toe with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir anytime! Great! Wonderful! My 70 year old crackling voice did it best to keep up, but I need more training! Lots more! -Jeep- USN. Ret.

[@zacharylavender1568]

My God! The sound is amazing!

[@creativeplanetjanet]

Bravo! All their hard work and practice are evident. Beautiful hymn.

[@Travisvader22]

R.I.P. My best friend Shelby from my church. You're in heaven now

[@misterbassman83]

I can't get enough of this!

[@satBASS]

wow, what a wall of sound!

[@AnnPorterCourtTherapist]

Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! E’en though it be a cross That raiseth me. Still all my song shall be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! Though like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone, Yet in my dreams I’d be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! There let the way appear, Steps unto heav’n; All that thou sendest me, In mercy giv’n; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! Or if, on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upward I fly, Still all my song shall be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee!

@sweetcharlie63 There were approx. 250 singers, all alumni of The Concordia Choir. The choir rehearses for 8-10 hours per week, during their tenure in the choir all members are required to take voice lessons. It is this training, tradition and level of performance that allows the conductor to "control" all these voices.

[@Psilva598]

Glórias a Deus nas alturas!!

The Titanic's last and final hymn before she sank.

[@midnasakura]

coool nice NICE

[@jimjiminy2001]

Perfect balance, too.

[@brianbaumgarn5795]

I was just wondering if this may have broken some law about too many good Lutherans being in one place together??? Please laugh if anyone reads this.

[@goldreserve]

RIP Costa Concordia Choir

[@tonyesteves1348]

Hi Jude I am now praying for you. Our Lord God is a God of love. Someone ask Jesus: Lord how much You love me?! Jesus reply: " This much". He strech His arms and die.

[@ekdog91]

RIP Titanic

[@BearOldcastle]

this is in moorehead?

[@ltyr-mr2if]

Awesome, except, ppp!

[@pravoslavn]

Another awful example of garish modernism jazzing up our beautiful hymns. "Arrangers" of the World - realize that people do NOT LIKE what you are doing to our hymns. Go peddle your musical arranging wares on a street corner somewhere, but LEAVE OUR CHURCH MUSIC ALONE !!!!

[@maestroz25]

pravoslavnik as I look at the comments this work has received over the years(I posted it ten years ago) I don’t think there is any consensus to your view. These anthems are arranged for concert and educational settings. They breath a new life into popular hymns of the Church.
