'Gentlemen, it was a great privilege playing with you all. Goodluck.'

[@rubymogase2046]

That scene still makes me cry😢

[@EdelweissM_TheJourney]

My Dad died this morning in Cebu, Philippines! He lived a great life, served the Lord to the best of his abilities especially as a Patriarch and a Sealer! I am so sad that I can't go to pay my last respects, yet the knowledge of the gospel truly helps my soul to calm down!

[@redstvincent1]

May he rest in peace as he await a joyous resurrection

[@SirReginaldBumquistIII]

He would be proud of you my friend.

[@Twotone-ld1fb]

They played this song at my Grandmothers funeral per her request in her will. Still brings tears to my eyes.

[@Coolybanana]

Those french horns....just simply majestic

RIP to all the souls we lost onboard R.M.S. Titanic, 110 years ago. May you all rest in peace and go with God.

[@cruizin]

I’ve been going through a hard time recently, this song makes me feel the spirit so powerfully and fills me with such hope. Everything is going to be ok

Beautiful and so spiritually moving. Nearer my God, to Thee - this is my prayer.

[@mmmnah7684]

It happened 2 years ago, my uncle died, my mom was crying, and this was the only song i could think of.

[@kwadwokissiedu-tv8dk]

It's been years, yet it feels like yesterday. Thank you

[@gailfattori6518]

I wish everyone can hear this with open hearts, whether you believe in God or not. It is beatiful, soothing and uplifting. Why do some of you have to add hate. We have freedom of religion. What is wrong with live and let live. Truly...why do you have to be so negative. I don't search you out to hurt you. There is beauty everywhere, why can't you see it and be content. I am so frustrated.

[@georgemalek6231]

There are those that by knowing the what this hymn is and has done for generations that have past and for generations to come,who were and will be cosoled- in the face of Today's world condition of despaired humanity; may only be convinced that faith in God is Only the remedy and hope for its only survival is for GOD TO BE NEARER TO humans whose days are numbered.Thank Mormons for keeping the Candle alight in the darkest of despair. God bless you and your message through you world wide know Choir. (Dr George N Malek)

[@scottadkins9318]

Dear Nicholas, There is indeed a heaven. But, my friend, hoping alone will not get you there. There is but one way, and one way only to heaven. His Name is Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus tells us in John's Gospel, Chapter 14, verse 6: "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me." (John 14:6).And... "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12).So, how do we get to heaven through Jesus Christ?Jesus Himself tells us: 1. Repent of our sins against God: "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Luke 13:3).2. Call upon His Name; Ask Him to save you, forgive you of your sins: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13).3. Live for, serve, and worship Jesus Christ only 'til the end of your days: "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." (Matthew 24:13).If you have more questions about heaven and how to get there, please email me at [e-mail] Christ,/s/Scott L. Adkins

[@nicholasmohammed36]

hi there .I am glad you want to go to heaven. its simple just trust the gospel with your heart. here is the gospel which will get you into heaven. kzbin.info/www/bejne/opPFZautjs9kb8k

[@alleenchittick8834]

In this time of world wide trials and tribulations, THIS is what keeps my spirits high, gives me hope, joy, and a profound sense of calm knowing that the Saviour is watching over us all. Keeping ourselves centred on what matters most...our Lord! Helps us be at peace when this world is in turmoil. We steer our own boats but as long as we keep the Lord in our lives to navigate when the storms of life rock our vessels, we will be alright no matter what happens.

[@lisasargent2841]

Amen.

[@infinite2679]

Ex mormon but will never not respect the sheer beauty of this choir

[@bobrivera3694]

I told my wife that during my funeral, this music must be played together with Ave Maria.

[@shadrackloyatir2928]

It looks like when we will meet our Lord Jesus,singing songs of praise forever. Love you guys.

[@MultiMattman68]

This brings me to tears when I hear this,and cry uncontrollably all the time

[@gabrielcalderon1960]

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is the greatest and most spiritual choir con al Earth. They are inspired by God and they make us feel the Holy Spirit in a very good way.

[@Angelina-ru8ww]

I image Heaven's choir to be like this but with billions more people singing and. with beautiful sounds yet unheard. Perhaps we'll all have beautiful voices and we'll all be dingo,g.

[@charlesrodney3116]

I cried each time I encounter this hymn. I am a hymn person and this particular hymn is one of my favorite. We should all desire to be nearer to Jesus Christ. Halleluyah. This choir has a sound from heaven. I feel the spirit of God moving as I listen. Glory to God. I can't stop listen.

[@kellyvb9881]

This Choir is the GREATEST CHOIR on the face of this earth. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!

[@HardRockMaster7577]

Sometimes, i wonder why hymns like this aren't just recorded acapella, because that's the best part, in this case.

[@albanvic]

What would the real world do without these wonderful people? The joy on their faces is obvious.

[@solitarysoul462]

Back in 2010 we present this song for our departed Class mate from Bike accident. It was such an emotional moment knowing that he no longer is with us. May he finds Eternal Peace with Lord Jesus Christ.

this choir has looked into paradise...

[@J9Cole]

Not my religion, but it's beautiful. The choir, the hymn, the people, like myself, love the music and its harmonies.

[@markhall7646]

This brings me to a time when my maternal grandmother would sing this to me. As a little boy, frightened of storms at night, her voice and the words of this song would return peace to me. It also spoke of her faith in the Almighty and her dearest hope of the Resurrection. Even to this day when the storms of this existence assault me, I hear her singing this and I know the Presence of God once more. What can separate us from the love of God? Only ourselves.

[@CarlFritz24]

Even if we would close our eyes... the SOUND cleans and purifies our Spirit ! No doubts... God loves all these singers - His humble sons !

[@karenromero3118]

Brought to tears. Being in unity like that reminds me when i use to go to church every sunday with my grandma and my aunt as little girls.apart from all the things that are said about the mormon chirchbive never once had a negative experience

"Nearer, My God, to Thee" is one of my favorites !!!!!! Thank you so very much Mormon Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square for this message of hope to all believers. Gratefully, Robert S.J. Hu May 1, 2020.

[@maureenm8462]

imagine listening to this when ur emotional and going through the menopause or if u have lost someone, u would b in buckets of tears. still a beautiful song though.

[@joshuajakes3876]

The YM and YW had to sing this one day in our Ward. We never could get close to these guys. They are the best.

[@a_lbymccool1478]

Yes, this choir is quite good, But they have got nothing on the way your youth sang this song.

[@ritaross7380]

I love listening to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and often the music is so beautiful and my heart is so full, I cry. I sing in our ward choir and wish I was as good as the Tabernacle singers. I never grow tired of listening to them and would love to go to Salt Lake to see them in reality

[@smitajky]

I am no Mormon and I am not too keen on the USA but I too would gladly go to Salt Lake to see and hear this wonderful music for real.

this is a wonderful performance. such beautiful singing. I am not a mormon, and never will be , but this does not stop me from enjoying this wonderful choir. Let Religion step aside occasionally for music like this.

[@zioncityofgod4818]

Indeed, let religion as seen by men step aside, and let the Love of TRUTH which is Christ, step in, that we may once in our life exercise the Higher Law: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

[@ramonabaldwin9080]

yes the band onboard the titanic played this song as they were sinking. my mother talked about it and sang the song that was written about the disaster. it is a most beautiful song.

[@chloemacdonald1892]

I've never really cared for the other version of this song, I don't know how to describe it except for sounding more- tense. This version feels as peaceful as the hymn is supposed to be.

[@williamhoward2731]

I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome Christian Hymn video with me .

Reminds me of my grandmother, who loved this old hymn...

[@flower2364]

This is one of my all time favourite hymns ...I find peace when I hear it sung especially when I hear it sung by this choir.

[@christysatfield8302]

During a General Conference of the LDS Church, I once heard an Apostle say that this is the favorite hymn of the Quorum of the Twelve, and the one they sing most often in the temple. This may no longer be true for the current Quorum of the Twelve, but it once was. I love it too.

[@lorenandrews5532]

Mine too.. The words "NEARER MY GOD TO THEE" they hit so deep
