FSY Medley 
Видеоклипы
you have not lived until youve sung this in a large group you cant change my mind
When everyone goes in unison in the last chorus chills every time
Yes
And I quote; the most powerful phrase ever:
"AS CHILDREN OF GOD"
Facts
Amen
Let me tell you my heart has never been more filled with the spirit when i sang this the last day in a cirlce hug with my whole company. My heart misses that spirit all 1,000 of us belting our hearts out to the savior. We all were holding each other. I miss that time so many friends were made and lifelong friendships. My testimony of god was strengthened. I miss it so much. Me and my company dont keep in touch as much but a few of us do. Unfortunately one of our friends passed but being neighbors with her that whole week and her spirit keeps me going everyday. She had so much faith and this song brings be tears of joy everytime i hear it. If you ever have the chance to go GO
I sang this song with my company on the last day at FSY. It was so spiritual, I was hit with the spirit crying with joy knowing that my savior was there with me through that amazing week. ❤ Trust In The Lord
same, it was so good
Same but for me the music cut out and we had to sing it acapella but it made it that much more spiritual
I don’t know if “We’ll bring the world his truth” is considered a hymn, but it should be: the emotion it evokes in my “entire” being brings me to my knees in love and gratitude . GOD is real , JESUS is the Christ and the HOLY GHOST bears Witness to the Father and the Son.
we sung it a couple times and i reared up each time
I just got back from fsy yesterday I'm balling my eyes out😭😭 all 500 of us, young men and women sand this on the last day before saying goodbye and I needed to hear it again.. I want to go back...
Same i got back today 😭
i got back home today and i miss it so much already 😭😭
I got back yesterday and I miss it a lot too
We sang it at fsy last friday and the spirit was the strongest i have ever felt it
me too
I went to FSY a few weeks ago and everyone started crying when we sung this
This song I feel changed my life I just came back from FSY and I loved it I feel like FSY made my testimony stronger and when I sung this song in a group in FSY I felt the spent. I loved the experience at FSY.❤
same. I loved the loudness of the song when everyone was singing.
I remember singing this on the last night of FSY. I was crying from how emotional everything was.
I sang this a week ago at my FSY. I had never heard it before. When I heard we were going to be singing "The FSY Medley" I wasn't expecting something this good. It's my favorite way to have a song played, a part one then a smooth transition to something new in part two, then in part three it all comes together. Being apart of a song like that made me happy, but then the spirit was there, and all my friends and the people my group, all that together I'm surprised I could even sing through the tears! I love this song :)
I just sang this song yesterday and I really felt the spirit.
I attended my fsy last year..and tell you this one of the best songs i have sang in my life..i couldn't stop singing in my dome. Till i got home..this song made me feel the saviours love.❤
just attended my first fsy and heard this for the first time, we sang it all together last night for our final night and when i tell you everyone was crying i mean it, lol.
i had the similar experience at fsy, we sang it as young women and I was moved so much but all together I could not stop crying
i couldnt stop crying when i sang this
Me too! i had FSY a week ago and it was so powerfull.
This fsy help me a lot like it strengthen my testimony and more
I CRIED SO MUCH 😭
We sang this song on the last day of the EFY Adventure For Youth I attended this past summer and the spirit in that amphitheater was so strong. I saw boys and girls alike sobbing as we all stood together as a company with our arms around each other singing this song. Every time I listen to this song the power of that moment hits me and I remember every detail like it was yesterday. I love this gospel with all of my heart and testify of it's truth. Heavenly Father loves each and every one of us, no matter our circumstances, who we are, or where we've been. It's never too late to come to him for help, love and comfort.
Oh my gosh, I can say as a member, theatre kid, and music lover, this may be one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard
I agree
100%
When i hear songs like these, I think. How can this not be the true church of heavenly father? Especially when your there to witness it and feel the spirit
I hope your conviction runs a bit deeper than that. Ever heard a boy's choir from the church of England? Or an Ave Maria in a Roman Catholic cathedral? Those are also most powerful songs. Qre they true churches of god also?
I just came back from FSY and this song hit home for me. It was such a special experience for me and my company durning this song. Not only that I’ve always wanted to sing it. It is truly one of the best songs I’ve ever listen to!
It's almost been a month for me, this song still hits hard
Literally same my EFY ended today and this song was amazing singing with everyone there
Sang this in the MTC, I can never forget that feeling and how powerful this song still is 😇
same... MTC manila..
I just came back from FSY. This song has a special place in my heart because that is how my company and I got close. Every time I here it I start crying.
I love this song so so much. hearing it is just not the same as singing it with four hundred people while standing in a circle with arms around my company after being together for a week at fsy. music is SO powerful and this song is BEAUTIFUL and brings the Spirit every time.
I am forever grateful for the restored gospel of Jesus Christ! I am a proud member of The church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.
I am proud to call myself a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I am proud to have escaped the cult on my own will. You have destroyed millions of lives already. All just because you believe in something a pedophile has created. Open your eyes. Use your intellect.
@@mathonitorke6764 I’m glad you’re using your agency to make your own choices, but instead of tearing people down for what they believe why don’t we uplift and help people grow into a new light. That’s not me saying that as a member, but as a general human on earth. Be the good
@@anarchyboi4599 Yes be the good. And read my comment again, I have not torn people down. Education helps to see the light. Be the good.
@@warriorstudeo188 this is not a church its a cult
I went to my first FSY this past summer and we sang this on the last day. Now, I've felt the spirit before, but I have NEVER felt the spirit as strongly as I did when we all started singing We'll Bring the World His Truth in unison. My heart quite literally felt like it was going to burst with my love for Jesus Christ! Because of that AMAZING experience, I know, now more than ever, that Christ's love for me is never-ending and that this is the true church. ❤❤❤
It always drives me crazy that these videos can never capture the power of the song. It always sounds so soft, no matter how loudly they sing. Let me tell you, when the two songs were put together at FSY, it was almost deafening and boy was it POWERFUL. There was no room for doubt while I sang this
I attended FSY last year and loved this song, I found it again today and was able to show my mom, absolutely gorgeous song
One of the few things that can make me cry. Truly a song testifying of the goodness and faith of both our Savior and us as youth!
Very nice song from kind-hearted people of America 👏👏👏 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇵🇭
Bless you
Thank you, Sisters. I asm 84, still enjoying the heart-felt love our young people have for the Savior and for Zion. You sang this five years ago. Where are you now?
Singing this at FSY was like life changing moment
I sang the song up at trek and it made me cry cuz it was just so beautiful harmonized with all the young men and young women
Dude last year was my first time being at FSY and on the last day we sang this all together and believe me when I say, it sounded so heavenly and so beautiful, whenever I sing it with everyone at FSY it brings me to tears cuz it’s just so amazing and you truly feel the Lords spirit with you there🙏 Love FSY so much🎉❤✝️
I'm not an LDS Christian, but I love these two hymns, and this choral arrangement.
I know the lyrics by heart.
♥️
The lyrics and just the music to this song is so powerful and I hope that everyone can hear it someday. This song can hit you in so many good ways of joy especially if you do this with a huge group it’s unbelievably powerful. Whenever I would go to sing this, I can feel gods presence and seeing us and smiling. Music is such a wonderful and powerful thing. I hope everyone can be blessed in these last days and that we can try as hard as we can to get more or are brothers and sisters to come join us. I wish the best for everyone, but most importantly in life is to change. Changing to become a better person everyday and striving to do that can not only help you but show the lord you are willing to serve and help him. Keep striving guys to become better even if you can’t do it fast or it’s hard. Take it one step at a time. There is more to life then increasing its speed. You got to enjoy life and be grateful for what god has given us if you want to find true joy. Come closer to him and join him. Good luck brothers and sisters. Keep striving!!!!
I sang this song at a seminary fireside with 700 youth from the area and I cannot deny nor do I dare deny that the spirit was there ❤
This is such a powerful song. I have since left the church since my EFY days for my own reasons, but I still respect this song and it still brings us together in interesting ways. I think I actually was in a EFY workshop with Brother Hicks at southern Virginia university back in like 2003. When we sang this song at the end of EFY I don’t know how the walls still stood. My faith lies in things beyond the church but this song brings back warmth. Love to all and thank you!
Come back.
we love you!
Love the EFY Medley soooo uplifting it's my favorite I remember when I went to EFY as a youth and we sang this back in 2005 around a circle I cried my eyes out!!
One of my favorite memories being in the young mens was when we (all the youth in my ward) sang this in sacrament meeting. It was a beautiful melody then and continues today
Thank you Michael, Logan, Eli, Issac, Jason, Mason, Julian, Josef, Amara, Tabitha, Sara, Angelica, Bela, that one cute girl I regrettably didn't talk to, Claire, and especially Jake and Addie. I will never forget you.
i don’t cry but this song brings me to tears every time
I just finish my first FSY and while we sang this song on the last night I felt the spirt so strong and just started to cry!
I have always said out of all our Heavenly Fathers creations not one is as special as a Female.....I wish all our youth both Male/Female knew of their usefulness and self-worth. The Gospel is True...I love it with all my heart......Very Powerfull and sucha a Spiritual song.....LOVE IT!!!!!!!
I get to sing this tomorrow in sacrament meeting for Mother’s Day with our whole youth
I get to sing this song on Sunday this week for Mother’s Day and I love the EFY medley
I just got back from fsy yesterday and I listened to this song on the way to church, the spirit hit me so hard, I was tearing up, and I never realized how much I would miss fsy already. Thank you for this video
Nice song EFY youth of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day Saints. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
just sang this at fsy through tears and chills and truly god is amazing and this song is such a blessing!
I just came back from FSY and it was truly amazing. Singing this song was the most spiritual moment I had along with the testimony’s at the end. I was overwhelmed by the spirit and had trouble getting the words out most of the time. I love this church and know it is true
leik dis if u cry every tim.
Jokes aside, this song is amazing. Love the Spirit I feel each time I sing/listen to it.
Nunca fui a un pfj x mi edad pero mi hijo es misionero pero cuando escucho este himno con esas voces celestiales les prometo q salgo de este mundo es tan hermoso cantarle al Señor y a nuestro Padre Celestial
My favorite song in FSY
FSY changed me it even changed my habits
Remember singing this at 2 EFY’s I went to in England and 1 in BYU. Always made me break down in tears. The presence of the spirit throughout the song was so touching
I’m in young man now cus I am 12 and when we sang this song my soul filled with joy
Beautiful, great video! I loved singing this in youth!
The amount of the holy Ghost that hits you while you sing this at fsy is... Unexplainable. I love it so much.
FSY has changed my life in so many ways.
This song really brings us together closer to Him
Hooray! I love this song and this group! Beautifully done in music and visually. :)
My very favorite song from her ❤️💙 him so much
I loved singing this song for this video!!
Love this song so much!
This song makes me cry when I sing it or listen to it
This is probably my favorite song
When I was in the youth program in 2001-2005, we sang this song for a fireside, I was made fun of because I could not read and what not. I didn't have any friends at all this song has help me through my life. During church 2 years ago, a young man was going his mission, the youth sang this song, I came to tears. Thank you so much
i just sung this today at fsy and it gave me chills!!!
Sing this as a big group and come back here
I LOVE the additional vocal parts!
😭I’m watching this and I used to go to ahs and I knew almost all these kind fs and now so many of them are married and moved on in life it’s painful i miss American heritage so much and mr Swenson was amazing i love him
Time Flies sure is... its like yesterday when we were walking across the hills with my companion and we sing this even we are so out of tune... its already 5 years? i guess 😁😁🎶
I just had my last efy ;(
you must be reminiscing a lot :’(
Me too. It was awesome but I'm ready sad there won't be more.
i only got to go to one before they announced they were ending it :((
It was my first and my last
Absolutely superb!
Michael you are a straight master of composition
Beautiful and angelic
Great new arrangement. I loved the added harmony.
Indeed. I wonder if there's a new sheetmusic available online for this arrangement?
@@ruggedbuthandsome michaelrhicks.com/music/efy-medley-20th/
Just got back from Fsy today and missing my company so much 😭
same!
Same bru 😭
I sang this song at fsy last week! It’s such a good and powerful song!! I’ve never felt the spirit more! So grateful for fsy!!!
Sang this at fsy this year and it felt like the ground was shaking
Me too
I just sang this at stake conference with all the youth.
This warms my heart!!!
Thank you for this music it's inspiring me and reminding my duty towards our lord❤️
I just got back from fsy. I tried my hardest not to cry, I didn’t want to seem weak. One of the guys from my company however said, “strong men cry, weak men don’t…” we were sharing our testimonies outside at 10:30pm and we end with singing this song, all of us starting to cry and as soon as we sang the men’s and women’s part in unison I cried. It was beautiful. I wouldn’t trade my FSY experience for anything
I was there. There were some of the best testimony's I've ever heard. The song brought the spirit too. I wouldn't trade mine either.
@@Pepsicoladrinkwhat company?
@@nathanhand9753 of great worth. How about you?
When I sang this song it had me in tears and feeling the spirit so much. Never in my life have I had felt it so much
I luv this song 💕💜💕💜💕💜🥰💕🥰💜
You spelled love wrong but it is true
Lyrics
1. As sisters in Zion, we’ll all work together;
The blessings of God on our labors we’ll seek.
We’ll build up his kingdom with earnest endeavor;
We’ll comfort the weary and strengthen the weak.
2. The errand of angels is given to women;
And this is a gift that, as sisters, we claim:
To do whatsoever is gentle and human,
To cheer and to bless in humanity’s name.
3. How vast is our purpose, how broad is our mission,
If we but fulfill it in spirit and deed.
Oh, naught but the Spirit’s divinest tuition
Can give us the wisdom to truly succeed.
Thank you!!! Was perfect!!!
Banger
One of my favorite! I love it ❤❤❤
Lyrics
1. We have been born, as Nephi of old,
To goodly parents who love the Lord.
We have been taught, and we understand,
That we must do as the Lord commands.
[Chorus]
We are as the army of Helaman.
We have been taught in our youth.
And we will be the Lord’s missionaries
To bring the world his truth.
2. We have been saved for these latter days
To build the kingdom in righteous ways.
We hear the words our prophet declares:
“Let each who’s worthy go forth and share.”
3. We know his plan, and we will prepare,
Increase our knowledge through study and prayer.
Daily we’ll learn until we are called
To take the gospel to all the world.
Muchas gracias!
Beautiful!!!
Every time hear this song on Pandora it’s always when I'm having a really hard time… when I was at school in my chemistry class, we have an assigned setting, and the girl who was supposed to sit next to me sat somewhere else, but I heard this song in my head then I thought of a doctrine mastery from 1 Nephi. Truly amazing how God gives comfort when needed 😊
Love this song!
Incredible song
My favorite song 💙💙💙
Awesome and wonderful.
We have been born, as Nephi of old,
To goodly parents who love the Lord.
We have been taught, and we understand,
That we must do as the Lord commands.
[Chorus]
We are as the army of Helaman.
We have been taught in our youth.
And we will be the Lord’s missionaries
To bring the world his truth.
2023 🎉
Love this! 😇
Sou de origem batista e cantei esta linda canção no Coral Unilasalle, nos idos dos anos 2000... sugestão de uma colega mórmon
Sang this with 2000 other youth back in 2007 at TFY there was not a dry eye while singing it
El mejor excelente arreglo
That transition though
I just got back from FSY at snow college. It was am amazing experience. But the last night we sang this and I was balling my eyes out.
i went to snow college as well. snow is really pretty. it was the best place to it. the spirit was strong there. with the two sessions of youth singing, it was an awesome devotional.
