As a choir director myself, this is literally the prettiest choir song I have ever heard. Almost drives me to tears! I love it and so want to use it in the future!
This is my Covid quarantine song. My senior year has been ended prematurely. I may never get to say goodbye to some of my friends, and I will never sing again with my choir. This song reminds me in this time of chaos and uncertainty that there is a Lamp unto my feet and a Light unto my path, and that I am not alone.
I completely empathize with your statement. My senior year at college has been cut short too and I'm facing several severe tests of my faith. I'm sorry this had to happen to you, too.
We sang this in Baylor Singing Seniors, and the words and music hit me very strongly, as my wife is suffering from dementia, and these words were just what I need to hear, to feel, to remember. We do not walk alone. And the music also makes this a very striking and wonderful thing to hear, and was very moving to sing. Thank you.
I’m very proud to say that this was the very last song I would ever perform with my amazing brothers and sisters for my senior year of high school and no other words could ever describe how it moved me that day on my last concert with them, thank you all so much for everything ❤
This song reminds me of my siblings. My younger sister passed a few years ago, and my older brother the year after. The only thing that helped me and my mom through it was music. I felt like they got together in Heaven and showed us what music true, heavenly music was. I don't think they ever heard this song here, but they sure found it in Heaven and sent it our way. This is my favorite song by Elaine, and I love all her songs. This is why God sent angels to herald our Savior's birth. Music truly is the rope that ties Heaven to Earth.
Music 🎶 is how Jesus communicates with me. I feel my heart glow and soar with the eagle 🦅. I’m lucky because I can hear music 🎶 in my mind whenever I choose and music 🎶 comes TO me to comfort me on my life’s path.
This song has to be one of my favorites chosen for TMEA all-state. It completely captures the hope during this time of covid. That there is a light that doesn’t go out, and that we are all in this together - none of us are alone.
So beautiful and soothing as we recognize God’s divine presence in the words, lyrics, and Gifts 🎁 in its message, This is a gorgeous reminder of God who is always present, protecting, and the Providential Hand of God is Always and Forever integrated in the very fabric of our lives! Thank you for this gorgeous and soothing performance and blessing!
This song is my high school alumni song, and after making it into the top choir at my college, I just got word that we are doing a set at my old high school in a week, and I will get to join them again to sing this song that blessed me in such a hard season of life.❤
I’m in tears with this exquisite rendition of a superb music by Elaine Hagenberg. I want to include this in my repertoire for the new choir I founded in University of Notre Dame. Kudos to the composer, to the conductor, pianist and of course to the lovely choir!
I always love Elaine Hagenberg's music! Our Civic Chorale accompanist and her husband gave this lovely piece to our church choir a few years ago in memory of their veterinarian. She died last week for a fast-acting brain tumor, and our Civic Chorale and church choir will sing this piece together at her funeral on Thursday.
Oh my God...inspired, from the composer's heart, beautifully performed with such artistry...I am a singer, but don't know if I could perform this piece without crying. That is my ultimate compliment. Thank you!
Oh, Elaine! So moves me to tears as I reflect upon the weariness of our lives right now in relation to COVID-19, social and racial justice, political upheaval, the difficulty of being a teacher right now, and the fires that are destroying so much in the western US. Thank you for using your gift!
Elaine Hagenberg compositions and the words of so many that have gone before are a perfect marriage of depth and beauty and solace for me and so many isolated hearts through this time.
We did this with an orchestra a while back in March for a lent concert I was standing directly behind them and saw about 10 people crying when we did this. One of my favorite pieces we have done this year.
This song is such a comfort for anyone who has lost a loved one. I sent it off to a friend who just lost her husband -- and I'm learning it on my flute ... when this pandemic is done, I hope to play it with one of our pianists at church.
Okmea 2022. Frankly I was worried it would be boring but....once we got there, with all the parts together, with such a talented choir.....damn. Just damn.
After two months of serious quarantine, this song lifted my wife and me to moments of tearful joy. Thank you , Elaine, for working so hard to share your great talent.
YOU DO NOT WALK ALONE May you see God's light on the path ahead when the road you walk is dark. May you always hear, even in your hour of sorrow, a gentle singing of the lark. When times are hard may hardness never turn your heart to stone. May you always remember when the shadows fall, you do not walk alone.
The University Choir I'm in is singing this song and I was given this version to listen to and it reminded me of Lord of the Rings when I first heard it.
This piece provides comfort and peace every time I listen to it. Thank you for this gift to all of us especially during these trying times. You are a blessing from God.
This songs literally brings me to tears as I remember my sweet days with my loving parents. I have to admit I have a lot of regrets, but as they say the only thing you can do is to accept that they are in a much better place and I have to learn to walk the path on my own. The path that I chose and the path which I know I will travel with them on my side.
I sing this song for two people. First, my mom. She has been through so much but she continues to show up for me and my siblings and I will forever be grateful for her. The second person is myself. My younger self, that 11 year old girl crying in her room devastated that her parents are divorcing, the girl that sobbed in her moms arms when her dad left her, the girl that sat in her room during covid thinking that she was alone. Through all of my years of high school, I’ve felt like something was missing. This is my senior year and I feel more complete than ever. I have an amazing support system, and for the first time ever sense I was 11, I feel like I have an army behind me and that I’m truly not alone. I know that I still have a long way to go in order to truly heal emotionally, but I feel like this song is the start of a stepping stone for my emotional healing. ❤
During this often stressful and challenging time for so many of us, this song has brought such comfort to me. My choir rehearsals are currently postponed and it's wonderful to hear such lovely chorale music. We sang "Through Love to Light" during our last concert.
Beautiful music. All speak to us of God’s peace, tranquility, as well as human-ness. Thank you Elaine for sharing with countless people your God-given talent and abilities. ❤
Stunningly beautiful, as so many of your compositions. We will start learning this during our time apart and sing it with joy and gratitude when this is over. Thank you
This song is beautiful..ministered to me when I'm praying for myself and others. Love the beautiful scenes...makes you feel close to God. God Bless you. You have a beautiful Gift from the Lord !!
This last year had too much darkness. This song has become my go-to to put me at peace and see some light. Thank you Elaine H. and to our Choir director Julianne who brought it to our church.
I am a Tenor in a Episcopal choir just outside NYC. We have done this piece several times, starting during the Pandemic. It always gets tears from the clergy and congregation. We are doing it as a prelude to a funeral tomorrow. It is an incredible piece, thank you!
ABSOLUTELY EXQUISITE!!! THE LYRICS CAPTIVATES ME + TRANSPORTS ME TO ANOTHER DIMENSION!! HEAVENLY!!! PEACEFUL!!! + COMFORTING!!! THE TITLE BEFITS THIS SONG!!! TQ FOR YOUR LOVELY RENDITION.
This is just what I needed to hear right now during quarantine as I am away from the people that I love and my life is on pause. Thank you so much, God bless you Elaine Hagenberg and God bless anyone who is reading this
This fabulous song brings me some sense of loneliness because since of 2020 i havent been alive, i live in this state where i know i am an adult but things hast happened to pass so quickly that i feel like i missed something but im not sure what. Pray for me to not kill myself
Thank you! Those of us who are now widows and live alone find it so difficult at times when we aren't able to be at services as we once were! I used to sing in the big Dells choir for years. Bless you, my dear, for sending the beautiful song.
As a music education major and 1st Tenor (and usually 2nd Alto because I can easily sing Alto), that low Alto note on "stone" at 1:07-1:08 just hits *different* and I love it!
A blessing for sure! Thank you for sharing this gift from God. Times are dark, as shadows upon shadows fall and our hours of sorrow seem to stretch into days, months, years…my heart returns to this song again and again. I can’t hear it enough. It’s on my RUclips playlist and the playlist that runs in my mind. I can’t wait to sing it with my choral communities and for a world so in need of it’s comforting message. I’m so grateful for you, Elaine!
As a choir director myself, this is literally the prettiest choir song I have ever heard. Almost drives me to tears! I love it and so want to use it in the future!
High praise from a choral director!
I am actually singing this song in school and I'm a tenor and I really enjoy it
@@FRANKC129KILLS ayo tenor brother🤘
If you like this, you will also like Elaine's "O Love" and "All Praise To Thee"
@@ivanmartinez2067 I'm a tenor as well! Borderline countertenor. And actually I have heard all her songs. I subscribe to her. 😁
This is my Covid quarantine song. My senior year has been ended prematurely. I may never get to say goodbye to some of my friends, and I will never sing again with my choir.

Your Grammar and english is amazing for a senior! Your Comment, i can relate too.
@@kylargraf6762 Thank you for your kind words, friend. I hope things look up for all of us, and I hope you're well :)
@@Anna-er2px I am doing well :) Praise God! Sorry I never replied to this :). God has blessed me, and I hope He has you as well.

wow tmea 2021 did a good job choosing the music
they really did ! :)
totally agree:)
we probably all bullied them into picking good music after mount rushmore
Last year was w a c k but this year is just a big lullaby
@@aidendaniels2628 idk i really enjoyed rushmore
I’m very proud to say that this was the very last song I would ever perform with my amazing brothers and sisters for my senior year of high school and no other words could ever describe how it moved me that day on my last concert with them, thank you all so much for everything ❤
Is a good song for spring 😢

Music like this I a gift 🎁 from God. Elaine’s inspiration for this song and all of her music is directly from God. Aren’t we blessed 🥲!
Music 🎶 is how Jesus communicates with me. I feel my heart glow and soar with the eagle 🦅. I’m lucky because I can hear music 🎶 in my mind whenever I choose and music 🎶 comes TO me to comfort me on my life’s path.
❤️
I can't believe how beautiful this song is! Like 😭😍
Exquisite work of high and reverent praise, shalom everyone. 🕊️♥️✝️
How very beautiful. I am happy Psalm 73:23-28 thank you for thinking of me. Love Robin
I can’t be the only person excited to compete with this music this year
Hello you are not. This is my choirs finale piece
Sitting here in isolation from CV-19, and this is making me sob.I am a church music director with my choir on hiatus from the virus.
It is a sad time for all of us choir conductors.
I am in a synagogue choir, and we are singing on Zoom. Not quite the same!!
Ditto.
Seeing these comments from 2 years ago, and how things have changed since then, how is everyone doing now?
@@returnoftheromans6726 We are back singing, and I am so happy!!!!
This song has to be one of my favorites chosen for TMEA all-state. It completely captures the hope during this time of covid. That there is a light that doesn’t go out, and that we are all in this together - none of us are alone.
I feel the same way. It's one of my favorites this year for that reason.
I think this is the kind of song Angles would sing!! Thank you Lord for giving me the opportunity to listen to this song!
If this doesn't touch your soul then you have my deepest pity. Enough to make a rock cry!
This song is helping me get through the sudden death of my wife. May have to put it in the spring concert.
My mother died too last oct. 2019. And this song gives me comfort and peace. God never cease to give me what I needed. Praise Him!
So beautiful and soothing as we recognize God’s divine presence in the words, lyrics, and Gifts 🎁 in its message, This is a gorgeous reminder of God who is always present, protecting, and the Providential Hand of God is Always and Forever integrated in the very fabric of our lives! Thank you for this gorgeous and soothing performance and blessing!
Not to be rude or anything, but I thought your profile picture was of Stephen Hawking before I took a closer at it 😭
And you will never walk alone . ❤ A beautiful hymn.
Only God is the shelter where thou go...
This music is a place of peace for troubled hearts. God bless your talent.
thank you for this beautifully sung song of faith to God
So glad Mrs. Christie chose this for our senior's graduation
This piece is a healing piece especially when what the world is going through right now. No wonder my choir director chose this piece.
This song is my high school alumni song, and after making it into the top choir at my college, I just got word that we are doing a set at my old high school in a week, and I will get to join them again to sing this song that blessed me in such a hard season of life.❤
I’m in tears with this exquisite rendition of a superb music by Elaine Hagenberg. I want to include this in my repertoire for the new choir I founded in University of Notre Dame. Kudos to the composer, to the conductor, pianist and of course to the lovely choir!
This is just lovely, thank you for sharing.❤
This piece makes me so lonely for choir singing again. In the fall of 2019 we did Elaine's O LOVE. It was so well received.
I always love Elaine Hagenberg's music! Our Civic Chorale accompanist and her husband gave this lovely piece to our church choir a few years ago in memory of their veterinarian. She died last week for a fast-acting brain tumor, and our Civic Chorale and church choir will sing this piece together at her funeral on Thursday.
Oh my God...inspired, from the composer's heart, beautifully performed with such artistry...I am a singer, but don't know if I could perform this piece without crying. That is my ultimate compliment. Thank you!
Oh, Elaine! So moves me to tears as I reflect upon the weariness of our lives right now in relation to COVID-19, social and racial justice, political upheaval, the difficulty of being a teacher right now, and the fires that are destroying so much in the western US. Thank you for using your gift!
the key change is so beautiful my gosh
I had never heard this before, now I want my school choir to sing it. I am a soprano 1 and this sounds absolutely beautiful.
Elaine Hagenberg compositions and the words of so many that have gone before are a perfect marriage of depth and beauty and solace for me and so many isolated hearts through this time.
Absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️ God bless all the beauty involved
Bless the Lord Oh My Soul. Perfect song.
We did this with an orchestra a while back in March for a lent concert
I was standing directly behind them and saw about 10 people crying when we did this. One of my favorite pieces we have done this year.
I’m not one to cry, but man did this make me.
A resounding blest Amen, a beautiful all encompassing Shalom.
This song is such a comfort for anyone who has lost a loved one. I sent it off to a friend who just lost her husband -- and I'm learning it on my flute ... when this pandemic is done, I hope to play it with one of our pianists at church.
I'm sending this sing for the same reason, my friend lost her husband 3 months ago😢
Beautiful in every sense - my compliments to all involved and most especially to the composer :)
That "ooh" section...magnificent!
Absolutely gorgeous♥︎
Okmea 2022. Frankly I was worried it would be boring but....once we got there, with all the parts together, with such a talented choir.....damn.
Just damn.
My chorus was to sing this in our upcoming concert - which is on hold for now. So appropriate for today.
Hearing this makes me imagine what Heaven would be like....cant wait
During this lockdown, this song brings me great solace.
After two months of serious quarantine, this song lifted my wife and me to moments of tearful joy. Thank you , Elaine, for working so hard to share your great talent.
There could not be a more perfect song for these times. Thank you, Elaine.
I’m so glad your songs are in the tmea audition material 😩😩
YOU DO NOT WALK ALONE
May you see God's light on the path ahead when the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear, even in your hour of sorrow, a gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness never turn your heart to stone.
May you always remember when the shadows fall, you do not walk alone.
Isn’t that the prettiest thing ever…❤️👏🏻
I didn't know that I needed this piece today! Defiantly going to do with my own choir!
Just what I needed......right now.
Thank You. Just what I needed -- the light of Christ ahead of me in my life's journey.
The University Choir I'm in is singing this song and I was given this version to listen to and it reminded me of Lord of the Rings when I first heard it.
May all those fallen in the service of their arms find their path safely.
Stunningly beautiful. Thank you.
Gorgeous Song. Comforting Message.
as a freshman about to audition, i’m in love with this song
This piece provides comfort and peace every time I listen to it. Thank you for this gift to all of us especially during these trying times. You are a blessing from God.

Such a wonderful thought that “we never walk alone”! His presence is a constant.
Just beautiful - the words, the music and the images!
This music brings such comfort. I want to sing it!
Doing this for All-State, could not wish for a better song
During this often stressful and challenging time for so many of us, this song has brought such comfort to me. My choir rehearsals are currently postponed and it's wonderful to hear such lovely chorale music. We sang "Through Love to Light" during our last concert.
