[@rickardnyberg4899]

Wow they must be one of the best gospel choirs on the planet !

[@corinnemacpherson4018]

Scary but true.

[@mrtyroneb]

The very best!!

[@joelgakwaya5498]

The best for sure!!

[@changan2942]

I prefer The Tabernacle choir at temple square from utah

[@adirondackmedia]

Carol Cymbala, you are a true gift from heaven! Thank you for bringing the country together with beauty, harmony, diversity and patriotism! I had tears streaming down my face!

[@singbzz1260]

How stirring and incredibly beautiful! Brought me to tears. The pride it evokes underscores the greatness of our nation. God bless!!!

He reigns! He is the Lord of the kings of the earth!

[@Pastorsam1]

Loved it! Great arrangement and fantastic voices. Kudos to Alicia Olatuja for the beautiful lead.

[@MsViva710]

Did you see former pres. Clinton watching in awe as the young woman sing the special solo part. I have to say I was also in awe to hear and watch er sing. this special arrangement of Battle hymn of the Republic. I've never heard an arrangement such as this one. Glory hallelujah! Praise God for the gift of song. Amen

Simply beautiful. I was there, and I was moved to tears. Simply beautiful.

[@sunshinebutterfliesandrose1003]

What an amazing choir. That was wonderful.

[@Diego-j7n]

Best choir i've ever heard in all my life

[@joelgakwaya5498]

Same here!

[@xpensfanatic2009]

All of these years since then, and I still remember watching this on that January day

[@jerusha319]

that soloist is the definition of perfection.

[@elainevaughan4583]

Mr. Schumer introduced the choir because he was instrumental in having them sing at the Inauguration. For years he has attended the Easter Service at Brooklyn Tabernacle. He is a huge fan of the choir and he loves the church. Mr. Schumer was raised in Brooklyn and he attended Madison High School. He was not being a slime, he was being a supporter of the city and borough that he loves. Thank God that He used Mr. Schumer to give the church this platform to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. To you it was a beautiful performance, to the church it was a way to share the gospel. His truth is marching on.

[@56fbb2]

He must join Republican

[@panseyj3362]

Oh my goodness!!!! I could watch this over and over. Carol Cymbala, you are amazing. And I thank God for the calling on your life. Hallelujah!!!

[@DanielDuarte36881]

Brooklyn Tabernacle is the best choir in the world, amazing musical and voices arrangement A+

[@fco.javiermartin2812]

the same i think. the Best gospel choir i've ever heard. it was fantastic hearing the voices of god at the 2013 US Presidential Inauguration.

[@MsViva710]

huh? voices of God?

[@highlyfavoredMG]

@@MsViva710 lol sad that the president sold the country to the devil

[@jamesvandel2910]

I'm a Mormon, but I consider The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir to be one of the best in the world. Many people say, I'm not Mormon, but I like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Know that we also admire the other Choirs. They make a great contribution to sacred art.

[@brremsilverte.9022]

What?

[@JiveChip]

@@brremsilverte.9022 Typically the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings this song at inaugurations but not every time.

[@TheJinJang]

Mormon is a cult. You need to get OUT

[@laborieu]

[@saleslounge]

The best version I've ever heard. My dad told me about this..I had to watch. Amazing!!

[@guzilla1993]

This was such a beautiful arrangement.. I already loved the song, but this, man, just magnificent :)

[@jennbrown360]

🌸🌸🌸Brooklyn Tabernacle is my daily worship. I did not realize it was them in 2013. However, listening to them right now in 2019, generated this video in my feed and I am yet in awe!💞💞💞 #President #Anointed #MillionsWatched

Couldn't of had a more wonderful choir sing that song! tears were running down my face. Bless those singing this song

[@hanajoe12]

Brought tears to my eyes. Had no idea the song could be so beautiful and compelling.

[@gastroenterology1]

I'm not at all surprised they are from Brooklyn. Magnificent.

[@rcharla1]

This arrangement and the solo were just right -- beautiful and touching.

[@seattlecarol1963]

I found it to be a bold and beautiful arrangement of a classic that has been done a few million times. The creativity while holding on to base score made for an incredible experience for both the choir and the listener.

[@MassiveForm]

This is one of the best things I ever saw.

[@lisamzayas]

May the Lord keep blessing The Brooklyn Choir and using them to lift up His Name! They are such a blessing:)

[@raquelr8775]

Wow. My home church.

[@jerrypierre-louis4579]

Amazing!!!!!!

[@dontworry9372]

Absolutely fantastic. What an incredible performance and on such an important national occasion!

[@mssorento1]

Omg! To God be the glory. They SANG that song!

[@terrinyc29]

The soloist voice is like an Angel..Wow! I love this choir

[@christinemctaggart3771]

I came to visit in October and at the service they announced that the choir would sing at the inauguration... Just saw this now on youtube and it was inspiring... love the choir director. The highlight of visiting NY was visiting the Brooklyn Tabernacle church. from Australia.

[@Just-Princess]

Crying again. Beautiful arrangement and the soloist was stunning ❤

[@GinaGiGi4777]

Absolutely Beautiful!!! Tears.....this set the tonne for this day. God Bless!

[@1962Heaven]

Clinton looks amazed. I pray that this song stay in their mind and soul forever.

[@nogalesmaestro]

Thanks so much. I hope we'll be hearing more of her...God has blessed her with a marvelous instrument and the talent to use it well.

[@TheMyrsik]

wonderful!!! soul unfolded!

[@nogalesmaestro]

I've always loved the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir and this was a marvelous example of why. The young lady who was the soloist has an absolutely glorious voice. All I can say to this is a big fat AMEN!

[@Veespraze1]

God be Praised...Jason Webb & Mrs. Cymbala created an outstanding rendition for the wonderful Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir...and what can we say about ALICIA OLATUJA, OF THE OLATUA PROJECT, I love all her and her husband-Michael Olatuja's albums...this song just makes the icing on the cake. Again, God be Praised!!!

[@Naltino]

No disrespect to any other artists who performed at the inauguration....but, in my opinion, this was by far the musical highlight of the entire event. Yet, the mainstream media is focused on mishaps and lip synching done by others. BT should be booked up to the 22nd century right now. They're performance is so underrated.

[@vasitileger1387]

Awesome, beautiful performance. Praise be to God Almighty. Wow!!

[@geegee3558]

Absolutely Beautiful...GOD Bless America... Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir Rock's ..
