This is my father's favorite song, and it reminds me of him every time I hear it. He emulates the song so amazingly with his everyday actions. He's the one who taught me how important it is to love your neighbor, and that's what this song is all about. Thank you for sharing this beautiful arrangement, and I hope I can learn it so that I can play it for my dad some time soon.
Wow, that's a great rendition! Beautifully arranged and performed! And that guitar sounds gorgeous (the player has the most to do with that, of course)! Bravo! I'm certainly going to check out more content. And my fingerstyle chops could use some work and I have the feeling I might find some beneficial material around these parts. OK, so now I've been to the website and WHAT I RESOURCE!!!! I'm rejoicing! Gonna get to work on some of those arrangements!
Truly amazing. Thank you for all the hours spent learning the song, and making it FREE For all of us to learn. Thank you so much for the spirit your music brings!
This is version I've been looking for, thank you! I first learned of this tune from Brian Stukki, teacher of music at Snow College in Ephraim, Utah. To hear him sing it, wow! The Manti Pageant updated their recording to this version a few years ago, soooooo much better!

Beautiful, you are indeed talented. While this is one of my favorite hymns, and it is traditionally celebrated as a favorite of the Prophet Joseph, it appears that it is not known whether it was truly a favored hymn of the Prophet. Its somberness was however most likely reflective of the feelings of the group headed to the Carthage jail and perhaps served as inspiration for these words from Willard Richards to the Prophet: "If you are condemned to be hung for treason, I will be hung in your stead, and you should go free." Joseph said, "You cannot." The doctor replied, "I will." from History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints edited by B.H. Roberts.

@@ivanrichardson1608 I perceive "poor" people begging for resources put on the earth for everybody whether they have money or not. I'm supposed to be warm and fuzzy because of the "kindness of people's hearts" while those who don't wind up freezing to death outside in the dead of winter ! Not inspiring 😖
Actually, this song is out of the Methodist Hymn book...George Coles 1792-1858 wrote the music and James Montgomery 1826 wrote the words. It has always been there...it's a Methodist hymn and still is. Pretty easy information for anyone that knows how to type Google or Yahoo. The song should remind people of Christ and to love one another--anything else spoils it.
In a sense you both are right. The same John Taylor discovered the lyrics in a mission to England and brought it back to United States but with a different tune, an original tune by John Taylor. Ebenezer Beezley transcribed the tune and that is what the first two verses of this arrangement are based off. In fact everything I just typed I learned from the first few results of a Google search ;) But you do make a point, more important is the song's focus on Christ, but there's nothing wrong with some good history as well.
This might genuinely be the most powerful song I have ever heard, thank you
Your playing is inspired! Thank you for making a difference in my life.
Thank you, Steve! I'm honored.
