- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Sung by the 100th Battalion, 442d Infantry in 2004 during a US Naturalization Ceremony for 130 soldiers. 120 of the soldiers were from American Samoa. The 100-442 INF has 2 companies based in American Samoa.
I'm half Samoan and danish, when I first found this video my mom sang and broke in tears and told me that her village sang this as her farewell when she married my old man...I will never forget the look on her face when she heard song after a looong time
Mr. Ornstein do you speak/understand the language? So Buzzy to hear of a half samoan half danish bloke like yourself 🙃
Dominic Palepua sole kama ga afakasi e le loa Fa'asamoa. Maybe he understands but e le loa kaukala fa'asamoa.

I’m not remotely islander, I’m from Ireland and born US, and something about this speaks to me spiritually. Bless you brothers
It speaks to you spiritualy because it's a song about our lord an saviour Jesus Christ who gave his life on the cross for our sins
Ua soona olioli nei lou loto ia iesu
My heart is rejoice in Jesu
Me too
You probably have a little bit of islander somewhere down your lineage
The Gospel hymns and messages translated into the native tounge gets the message across powerfully and better understanding and responses. In my country Papua New Guine where there is close to 1000 tribes and more than 800 different languages and English is the 2nd language translation is handy. A mountain of a job but is happening. 👍👊👏💟
I'm from the Island Nation of Palau in the North Pacific. We Islanders are talented and gifted in all sorts,..."But when it comes to choir singing and hymns, South Pacific Islanders are the best"! TO GOD BE THE GLORY.
Amen brother !

Praise and glory to God Almighty our Creator. ❤YAHWEH blessings.
This hym was sung at my daughter's wedding ,just stunning.She is Australian and married a wonderful Samoan man
William STIBBARD Thank you sir! That's our culture and because she married a Samoan she will be looked after.
@@williampuakahuhua2974 When people choose each other
And know to behave in it
By God's Providence
an immense space grows
for the most beautiful that exists
blossoms joyful endless
love
that only knows boundaries
in immeasurable faithfulness throughout
a lifetime
the task also grows
to fill in that space to fill up
that love build
with diligence and care
and with the certainty
that such a thing is eternal
for the sake of His Faithfulness.
A "victory" to diversity
I have learnt a lot about Samoan culture,so pleased I did.
@@c0nstantin86 oh, zip it with your virtue signaling, liberal crap.
I'm not Samoan, American or even a Christian/religious but this brings joy to my heart. I've been lucky enough to have lots of Polynesian people in my life here in Australia and their warmth, generosity and loyalty has made me a better man for it.
Love to all my Polynesian brothers and sisters from Australia! We are all one Pacific Family 💪🌏♥️
cant understand a bloody word but you guys brought a tear to the eyes of a grown man thank you your a credit to your country god bless you all
Tai lava. Alofa atu✊

My soul rejoices greatly
In Jesus
He has saved me
This is my new song
Chorus:
Sing [sing, sing] hallelujah,
Sun in my spirit [or sunshine in my soul], art thou Jesus
My saviour
In whom I am rejoicing
Like early spring to trees [or springtime]
So has my life been
Since His love has come in me
Good things have begun
@@allimonybaba4195 Lovely of you, thank you!
@@allimonybaba4195 this is an amazing translation. Faafetai faasoa.
@@allimonybaba4195 Mahalo for your translation! Wish I could figure out a way to copy and paste it. I need to read it over and over. Many thanks! It's beautiful.
The song acknowledges Christ is my joy because He loves me, He saved me and my heart is therefore with with Him, my Saviour and Redeemer. Glory to God. Thank you for the selection. This may be six years on, but the power of this hymn is so full of truth and liberating it is one of the most treasured of Samoan hymns. Most treasured when you are away from home and about to embark on a journey, you sing in faith and respect knowing that you are under His wing. No matter what happens the truth remains, you are HIS.
Amene ma Amene Your Excellency Hinauri Petana. The rhythms also brings joy and memories of loved ones in our trials and tribulations at home. To God be the Glory! Alofa tele atu.
Amen
Beautiful, thank you.
I myself am not Samoan, but I am half Tongan, the other side being Romanian. I love hearing Polynesians sing their hymns, their voices are so beautiful.
Storm Eagle !'m
Storm Eagle Tongan and Romanian? Wow that's a first for me.
The James Anderson I'm told m a weird mix, it's great though. Two very different cultures under one roof.
Storm Eagle Very different. Literally worlds apart. 👍
Whoaaa what a cool mix !!!

Joel Paleafei My brother-in-law is Samoan and I have stood on a Sunday morning at the crossroads near the old Hideaway and heard this wonderful singing.
❤❤❤
Mad Respect From Your Tongan Brothers across the Ocean✊
Ofa’s tokoua from a tama Samoa 🤝
Malo aupito.
Tongan and samoans have some things in common and singing Tongan and Samoans are good at
captain peyton, Tongans and Samoans are related anyway. We had been in contact with each for more than a thousand years before Europeans arrived to our shores.
i had the pleasure of being in the crowd when these men, many whom i call brother, cited the american naturalization oath and sang this among many hymns. they did this a few weeks before being deployed in support of operation iraqi freedom.
Go For Broke!
kamu8recon the recording of the Go For Broke fight song from this day gives me chills every time. Thank you
kamu8recon my dad was in that platoon
I saw him
Thank you, I wondered why they were in uniform
Nice nod to the 442.
I deeply respect them, but I'm sorry they were sent into that mess.
Ofa atu to my SAMOAN BROTHERS!
I’m a Latina from Tacoma, Washington but I love the nation of Samoa 🇼🇸 . When my sister dated a Samoan, I enjoyed going to their gatherings and dance practices.
Ua Latina from Tacoma huh lol Sup girl🇼🇸🇦🇸 what's good
253 Less Go!! I'm in Fed now, but grew up in Tacoma 💯
Not surprised from a Fijian bro. All south sea islanders have the most beautiful harmony when singing hymns. It's taught from sunday school when kids.
It’s funny, the things you learn at church and Sunday school. And how they stick with you into adulthood.
and this is why I wake up every day and never regret the struggles of being Samoan...
The joy is too much now
my heart to Jesus
he saved me
this is my new song
Answer: Sing! singing song
Hallelujah! Hallelujah
the sun
you are my soul
Jesus is the savior
I rejoice in it
The spring weather
but trees
My life is done now
since he loves me
before the good things
Chorus: Sing! singing song
Hallelujah! Hallelujah
the sun
you are my soul
Jesus is the savior
I rejoice in it
The things of this life
whole son
my inheritance is good
the tower is solid
Chorus: Sing! singing song
Hallelujah! Hallelujah
the sun
you are my soul
Jesus is the savior
I rejoice in it
Im a fruit salad lady with Germanic roots, Samoan Asian and this song my dad being a Pastor n Preacher of the word..he used to song lead in many congregations..these voices brings back memories of my late fathers voice. such a great singer n Preacher of the past centuries...

Thank you
When I'm sad and need cheering up, I look up 'Samoan Hymns' to remind me of my home country and how I left ever since I was 2 yrs old and this video particularly because the camera man reminds me of all the old men in my village singing :))
God bless you ❤️
I feel it . Left American Samoa when I was 2 back in 2002 . I’m 21 now 😢
Samoa always give god the glory. Thank you samoa. Be strong for the lord above🇼🇸🇦🇸❤️❤️❤️
Sesoga Timu the flag with the Eagle is the America Samoan flag
Aman 🙏
Gegard - there has been no such place as Western Samoa since 1997 anyway. It’s now called the Independent State of Samoa, or Independent Samoa, or just Samoa for short. Besides, there are many Am. Samoan soldiers who are from Independent Samoa or whose parents are from Independent Samoa. After all, all Am. Samoans have ties to independent Samoa, since we share the same history, culture and origins.
@@theephraimite and thats y i hate to use dat American Samoan flag bcuz it represents American colonies!!!!🇼🇸 🇼🇸 🇼🇸
Gegard - Actually, I do support Trump, and I am not ashamed of it. So no reason for me to distance myself from him. If it weren’t for America, the Pacific islands, including Samoa, would have been conquered by Japan during WWII. Americans were stationed on both Tutuila and Upolu. Stop being ignorant. By the way, I was born in America, but grew up in Tutuila, where my mom is from, but my dad is from Upolu. So a part if my life was spent in Upolu too.
there's something about this hymn, especially this tune, makes your heart melt, thank you for the upload, proud to be a Samoan!!
To my Samoan brothers in arms, USMC SEMPER FI
KENTUCKY USA🇺🇸👍
I am a South African but this is so spiritual I don't understand any word except Yeso, heavenly sweet sounds... id like to take a vacation to Samoa just to witness this live
Jesu...Jesus, Christ, Christos...the aspect of ourselves that was made flesh...
@@mochapella aspect of our selves made flesh? That’s a false doctrine.
@@theephraimite so what's the true one?
@@mochapella what are you talking about? What true one?
okay, that's fine, don't worry. bye
Vinaka SAMOA...Lovely singing.
Coming from Wales you know this had me crying like a boohoo. Dang onions.
I return to this track every few days as a ways of recharging my soul, hard to believe that a band of fighting men are able to create such a wonderful and peaceful piece of music, i am not a religious person but i have to say this one single recording has made me feel something i dont know what but its hit a certain aspect of my life.
You have felt our culture. God, is a part of our culture. I wish you well.
this is my best translation of the song in case you want to know what it means:
My soul rejoices greatly
In Jesus
He has saved me
This is my new song
Chorus:
Sing [sing, sing] hallelujah,
Sun of my spirit, art thou Jesus
My saviour
In whom I am rejoicing
Like early spring to trees
So has my life been
Since His love has come in me
Good things have begun
[if you want the actual Samoan lyrics you will find them in my earlier reply or other people's] God Bless.
@@allimonybaba4195 Bless you thank you so much for your time and effort wishing you a happy christmas and a safe new year thanks from UK where ever you are x
@@allimonybaba4195 I really appreciate you posting this! I want to share it, so with your permission I'll try to write it down. Many thanks! 💖🤙
@@auntiebobbolink Hi Bobbie, I'm humbled you liked the translation. I just translated as best I could word for word and line for line, the song is from a Samoan church Hymnal which was of course translated from an old English church hymnal called there is sunshine in my soul, and I do not hold any copywright to it, but just go ahead and copy and paste if you want, I'm sure whoever wrote the song is long gone and they won't notice lol. God bless
I'm learning more about my Samoan ancestry (most of my family is coptic Egyptian). The Samoan language is the most beautiful language in the world.
God bless our brave Uso's & Tuafafine's in the U.S. Armed Force's in Iraq & Afghanistan , stay safe ....... Malo !
Every time I listened to this it just gives me goosebumps all over again. Beautiful my Samoan Usos. God bless you all.
Malie! Wow, Love, Respect And Pride for my Uso to sacrifice Life, Family and Time for the World's and Humanity's Peace, Safety and Democracy from all Lawlessness and Chaos there is in the world. Love from your Uso in Fiji. Malo!
This hymn always makes me so emotional n so proud to be Samoan :)
Love you my brother's. Maori to The Kingdom of Tonga, Kingdom of Samoa, all Pacific's...we are strong.
Joseph Natana "Kingdom" of Samoa ???????, no way , we are the Independent State of Western Samoa 🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸 🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸🏝️🏝️🏝️ 🏝️🏝️🏝️
@@charlestonchanming9251 shuddup idiot! With a surname like that? who knows you could be from the kingdom of China.
Mishã De Nevš Chechnya yea well thats true too
@@charlestonchanming9251 you still got it wrong. It’s not Western Samoa anymore. It’s been like that for more than two decades, yet you still got wrong. When you correct Someone, make sure got right, bonehead.
Bruh Samoans can hold a harmony yall!! Now I'm crying!!😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🇦🇸🇼🇸
If angels exist, they sing just like that...
I am so sorry, but angel not sing, read the Bibel: never sing the angels.
@@coyotePAC3 thank you. 🙏❤️
They do make tears come through the emotion.
*goosebumps* beautiful..the feels! God bless you Samoan soldiers
Proud of yous all my usos, thank yous for protecting all of us and doing what yous do.much love and respect from wellington NZ
I have grown in love with the singing of this group of men. Is singing so melodiously and harmoniously a national gift among the men of this island?
May God be praised!
Music is apart of us! It is how a lot of us connect directly with our God and show appreciation to our culture and families.
And to end the beautiful hymn, the infamous “Let us Bray”
the guy on the mic is Chaplain (CPT) Asiata and you are listening him speak English through his Samoan accent. Never mess with God's Guy...lol
@@armylawjag 🤟🏽
😂😂😂 as a Samoan, yes
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this one hit strong
God bless America Samoa!!!!!!!!!! We love you here on the Mainland!!!!!!!!!!

This This is what makes America great. If we do not value and promote this, Islanders desiring to join the US and willing to wear the uniform and protect the nation, but with an adding and promotion or this beautiful culture. If we do not share this, shout this, pridefully present this. . . we are lost.
Thank you, agreed. Except it's not about "protection", it's greed now. Samoans have so much wisdom we desperately need. If they desire citizenship, it should be granted without exception. Just be aware that the Samoan values are vastly superior to the values of most USians.
Beautiful song.
PRAISE GOD
GLORY to GOD in MOST High.
THANK YOU LORD for YOUR children singing to you
GOD BLESS YOU all.

Revisiting here. I’m not a member of this Samoan denomination but, as an LDS (Mormon) I grew up singing this and other EFKS hymns in school every morning to start the day. Folks of the EFKS church, don’t lose your real Samoan style of singing praises to God. I love my church’s hymns too, but yours is a true Samoan style.
Tuesday - March 16, 2021.
Our old Samoan LDS hymnal from over 30 years ago has this tune 105 (Ua silisili Falesā)…we sang it as an upbeat hymn about learning while at church. But I love this LMS version for the softer and clam mood and the men’s voices ❤️❤️❤️❤️
L.M.S which is where the E.F.K.S church derives from was the first Christian denomination started in Sāmoa. It is I belive 113 years old now, 192 years since the arrival of the Gospel (Talalelei).
Every Samoan would know E.F.K.S hymns because at one point all our family and ancestors were part of the Traditional Samoan church.
Many pentecostal churches (S.A.O.G) still sing these hymns.
@@isaialeuila9327 I learned the lms hymns in school, not at home or anywhere. And yes, I do know the history of lms/efks, partly because my dad was lms before he married and had kids, and my mom’s side were always catholics, nothing else. So, the only reason I know the hymns, like I said, was because of school. It’s good to hear pentecostal churches still sing those hymns.
@@theephraimite Oh sorry, just in general 🤣. But yes I understand you.
Wow! this brought tears and automatically took me back home as a young girl singing hymns with my grandparents and cousins during our evening devotion. So thankful for this video.
We love the heart of the Samoans. Thank you for this all the way from South Africa.
Imma be straight up I teared up when the harmonies kicked in 🇼🇸 🇼🇸 🇼🇸
Love from ur tongan cousins 🇹🇴❤
Alofa/Ofa atu

That song makes me cry.Proud to be half Samoan Chinese and Tongan from California USA.God bless.
Brilliant stunning great voices a credit to your home land your mother would be so proud of you great guys god bless you all
I support birthright citizenship for American Samoans. That they are not is a shame perpetuated by the American Congress and the United States government.
I listen..yours truly Alfonso Cantu..Kaneohe,Hawaii
it sounds soooo good all know how to control their breathing.seems as if their are selected this are the best singer
Control their breathing but normally heaving breathing cause we're fat lmao
THE ULTIMATE lol
THE ULTIMATE triggered 😂
@@seilalatupe1004 lmao
yes and also the uniform singing of notes rythm. Good song❤️
SAMOANS SINGING ALWAYS HITS ME HARD, SMH!!!
There is always something in the voices of military men when they sing to the Lord that stirs my soul.
Thank you so much Usos. Respect 💪🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸💪💪💪. Samoa to the 🌎🇼🇸
NOTHING MORE than haunting and amazing...thats so spiritual and skin creeping ina GREAT WAY!!!!!!

Isaia Leuila Um you know being born in American Samoa makes you a U.S. National right? The transition from national to citizen is seemless but its really pointless seeing as you get pretty much the same privileges as a national as you would as a citizen.
that one of our culture piece......GOD ALWAYS COME FIRST
Do you have the full version? I would like to edit out the voice of the priest so we can here just the soldiers. Lmk. Thank you!
