When singing this in rehearsal I felt this to my soul! When singing it in concert, my soul soared! Each time singing and hearing this masterpiece ….I will forever be changed! Thank you my MCO family, our inspired conductors, but most especially our Father in Heaven for the restoration!

[@kirstengrimaldi2567]

Thank you for your angelic contribution ❤

[@theJohnMoore]

I wanted to weep when I experienced this live. The most powerful musical or choral experience of my life. So grateful they made a single from it so I can remember ❤

[@ronwilczek6648]

How great would it be if this was played at General Conference!!

[@jeffpierce3644]

Too long

[@bear3ish]

@@jeffpierce3644 nah, just swap one of the talks for this. worth it.

[@hanswinters1]

I will never forget being there and hearing this amazing choir of voices testify that the heavens are open. This video will keep the memory vibrant and strong. Thank you to all who make this happen.

[@kaitlynjepsen4016]

Just when I thought MCO couldn’t top their last projects, they release this stunning masterpiece. I SOBBED hearing this the first time in concert. The narrative ability this arrangement has to depict Joseph’s story both through the words and through the music is unlike anything I’ve ever heard before. I FELT like Joseph Smith experiencing the Vision while listening to this. Thank you for blessing us with this beautiful movement, MCO! You work miracles!

[@juliethomas3523]

Yes me too, at the KC performance! I adore how they lingered on Joseph's despair, made more of it than we usually do. Because that makes the appearance of Father and Son that much more emphatic and poignant! To hear such a sacred and well done song in such a mainstream venue as the Kauffman Center, I felt like I was in the Millennium ❤

[@karylmorgan7320]

I sobbed also. I was converted at age 16 by The First Vision.

[@copefamilysings]

What an incredible song!!! It makes our hearts sing!!! Shooting this music video is a memory our family will never forget! Thank you so so so much to everyone who helped make this happen, it takes an army of incredible and committed people to make these things happen. And a extra special thanks to Brandon for composing something straight from heaven. Participating in Millennial Choirs and Orchestras has been the most precious gift for our family. We are forever changed. 💛💛💛

[@karzee358]

As much as I've always loved to sing, there is absolutely no way I could have sung this... or participated in any aspect. This is my favorite hymn, and I would have bawled my heart out at each rehearsal and performance! Thank you, MCO, for this beautifully rendered experience of Joseph Smith.

[@CN-pe4gz]

Such a beautiful masterpiece. I am so thankful my children have this choir in their lives and got to experience performing so close to the Sacred Grove. I feel the Spirit most strongly through music and I’ve never experienced any music like this choir. Bringing together the youth and adults in their talents and the Stewart brothers amazing gifts is such a blessing in our family. Thank you for this!

[@kristinwalker8047]

Absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for giving us MCO participants the opportunity to take part in this!! 😭❤ I will forever remember the sacred feelings I experienced as we filmed this there in Palmyra, so close to the Sacred Grove. I am incredibly grateful to the Stewart brothers for composing such powerful, soul-stirring music! They are blessing thousands upon thousands of people to be able to experience something transcendent and divine in this often discouraging world of ours.

[@aristotleliwag9830]

MCO never disappoints. Always beatiful singing that touches the heart.

[@sdpianomom]

Breathtaking!❤

[@nicolehunter8546]

I listened to this while I was getting ready for church and now I need to get ready again because my face is a mess from sobbing! Absolutely beautiful! MCO you guys are incredible and nailed it!

[@Poppyseed20]

[@JillHuntBuddyMailAdvertising]

DANG!!! Chills, chills and more chills. I'm convinced this is what the choirs of Heaven sound like. We just got a glimpse of this from this extraordinary choir. Grateful for my sweet family members who are members of this choir, who shared this video with us! Unbelievable. Please come tour Southern Utah.

[@bobworsley1589]

Amazing and beautiful!

[@timmi2030]

This is stunning! Bravo, bravo, bravo!! Incredible. Put on some noise cancelling headphones and spend 10 mins in Heaven. I can honestly say I feel I have now heard what Heaven’s music will sound like!

[@caroldavis1254]

SO beautiful and powerful!! Thank you Stewart brothers

[@theresarobertson8765]

An amazing, beautiful piece, I am so touched by this, thank you for the sacrifices you all made, from rehearsals, travel, exhaustion and keeping your skills at such a high level, it is a stunning piece ❤️

[@realtorelissa]

💕 Thank you for this beautiful video. It was an incredible experience for our family to watch our daughter sing this song in front of the Sacred Grove.

[@Drtoserve]

Beautiful tribute to the paint with music many of the precious feelings and emotions that accompany the crowning event of the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the latter days.

[@kurtbeckstrom9929]

Beautiful....so beautiful

[@lray801]

Beautiful and extremely well shot. Thank you for creating and sharing! So much hard work and effort by so many people to make this happen and it was definitely worth it! 💖

[@willard4157]

Beautiful, transcendent, testimony of truth. Thank you for sharing! Sending this to everyone I know! ❤

[@wyattjohnson4436]

I really wanted to go to Boston with everyone but medical stuff came up that I couldn't go, but performing this song in concert was absolutely stunning. The feeling I felt singing this song was so awesome. Just hearing this gives me chills and so heartwarming. Thank you Brandon/Brett for creating such a beautiful music piece.

[@KarenSmith-pc8ln]

Wow! So powerful!

[@carlos8114]

This is beautiful and moving to me. The hymn has been a favorite of mine for many years. I feel the spiritual impact whether I’m whistling the music, singing in a congregation, and especially when voices better than mine raise the rafters of Heaven with the music and the words. I have two grandchildren that sing in this choir and know they are touched as they sing their hearts out. Imagine, the light and the inner feelings of peace when young Joseph saw The Father and His Beloved Son! What a tremendous arrangement!

[@VeronicaChugg]

When those french horns intervene!

[@cadee4848]

So beautiful!❤

[@jennymandeville7763]

Glorious!

[@aaronmerzlock114]
