This song touched me more than any other in general conference has before. Especially since it followed Pres. Nelson and it was clear that many of the members of the choir were feeling it too. So powerful and beautiful.
When I was 12, I was "too cool" to sing in primary. It was the early 80s and I was into a special era in BYU football. Then the primary music leader taught this song. I envisioned myself bravely battling as underdog and God cheering for me every time I made a right choice. It forever changed my heart ❤️.
I am an inactive of the church and ran across this song several weeks ago. I love it. I listen to it every morning to get my day off to a good start. This is the most beautiful arrangement of any hymn I think I have ever heard. ❤
The world is our trial ground so if we listen to a prophet voice and continue our duty and magnify our callings I know that heavenly father will help us to endure to the end and meet them in celestial glory 😊
I am an active member, and I love this version of the hymn. I listen to it several times each week too. I then sing it in my head as I go about my day.
😮 yo hace tiempo estoy inactiva sin embargo escucho siempre los himnos que aunque sea un poquito me acercan al Señor y de ahí quien sabe se vuelva a producir el milagro
The word powerful does not even do this song justice. This rendition truly embodies hope, reassurance, strength, and the call to rise. Thank you choir for this song. It is a gift to us all.💗
Wow, how can you not take courage. The most powerful rendition of this song I have ever heard. Sounded and felt as if there were a heavenly host singing along side them.
We sang this rendition in our ward choir and I swear the angels were singing with us- Our choir director told us to envision as we sang, that the first verse with just the men singing was missionaries, just meekly giving it their best day after day- the second verse was their mothers, adding their prayers for them, and that the third verse was the angels of heaven swooping down and blessing their efforts and magnifying them. Man did we sing that,song great!!
It does! We just have to remember that the more difficult things get, the more opportunity we have to show our faith to god! With uncertainty comes hope!
Turn it up LOUD and fill the whole house will this anthem. Not only will you be FILLED with joy but the evil one will be gone. Sending love to everyone!
The choir was singing so beautiful and wonderful up until minute 2:02 ....then something happened, something extraordinary happened, it was as if the veil parted and the host of Heaven joined in.... the strength and power of the Spirit bearing witness of the Lord, is palpable; it was a preview of things to come!
I am crying in the bridge part of the hymn. I am struggling and doubting my faith. But the lines "we will heed not what the wicked may say but the Lord alone we will obey" really hits me. I am thinking of being less active and because of this hymn my faith regrow.
Hi. I'm just a random Church member replying to your comment. I just re-listened to President Nelson's address on Overcoming the World and then shortly after found this hymn which followed it (which I had forgotten). Like you (and several of the Choir members) I teared up -- this hymn was SO beautiful and powerful! I'm glad it touched you and might I recommend (re)listening to President Nelson's talk? I believe he is completely right that staying true to our covenants is the most comforting and restful approach to life. I will pray for you and hope you are able to continue forward in faith.
Lyrics: Let us all press on in the work of the Lord, That when life is o'er we may gain a reward; In the fight for right, let us wield a sword, The mighty sword of truth. Chorus: Fear not, though the enemy deride (ridicule); Courage, for the Lord is on our side. We will heed not what the wicked may say, But the Lord alone we will obey. We will not retreat, though our numbers may be few When compared with the opposite hosts in view; But an unseen pow'r will aid me and you In the glorious cause of truth. If we do what's right we have no need to fear, For the Lord, our helper will ever be near; In the days of trial his Saints he will cheer, And prosper the cause of truth.
the lack of clapping and yelling after the song is such a great thing. The wisdom of it is self evident. This Church custom is of the highest value. Yes, some viewers may find it strange to not have the congregation express their appreciation, but no, this is a great protocol. Just sit with the pleasure of the performance, don't ruin your aural palate with clapping
This was so moving and such a powerful declaration of reverence and love for our Master and His work, as the Prophet Joseph Smith declared, “Shall We not go on in So Great a Cause?”
I can hear every voice as One , it is beautiful and Powerful magnifying and sustaining . I'm speechless to explain how beautiful you all are , a refiners fire reaching in and leaving my troubles behind. Thank you the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints.
This arrangement of this hymn was powerful and beautiful and to have it sung right after President Nelson’s talk was perfect “ in the glorious cause of truth” is my favorite line of that hymn Several of the choir members had tears in there eyes as they where singing.
As we are surrounded by evil everywhere, this song gives me courage, and that we are not alone, and though we are few in numbers we must be big in faith and actions❤️
We must remember to seperate evil actions from the people doing them! personally, i struggle a lot with this. But once i remembered they are all children of god, i stopped being angry, and became happy instead. Dont worry, better times will come :)
Even if you dont plan to be LDS in particular, the spirit of the hymn is good. The Divine is real, and we should only be devoted to the divine and ignore the distractions of those who appear undevoted to the Lord and goodness
I played the 12 string yesterday , the sounds and as I play i prayed , and ask the lord for answers and , asked the lord do you love my music , no answer for I be inspired to play and feel it a great blessing for my brain injury to receive relief from my symptoms. As I be playing i pray ask the lord do you love my music no answer and I had to work hard to keep playing for the advisory , give me Dought I should stop and I was confused ,that the lord didn't answer my question in my prayers playing and I put it aside thinking I'm having a bad moment , it be better tomorrow. The answer came last night , still small voice as Jesus Christ knows the desires of the heart , to answer my question , and my question was answered Patrick I love you My brain injury can be confused thinking Jesus Christ loves me because of my music being the conection of why he loves me. Tha church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. So I'm inspired today if I play I know the reason why I play music.
I looped this hymn on here and I’ve now listened to it 11 times and will continue to play it until my brain melts…this rendition is so powerful coupled with emotions seen in the choir as tears are seen shed ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I did the same with the BYU choir version of “Come thou Fount” from the late 90s 🤙🏽♥️❤️
Having lost my husband to an illness a year prior to this General Conference, this song gave me the faith & courage to adapt & move forward in life! I count it bring one of the greatest blessings to me in my time of grief! I play it frequently when I feel discouraged or fearful, etc.
I've had a drug addiction problem for sometime and I've really struggled with it at times! I grew up in the church to a good family but I slipped a few times recently! This song is one of hope and courage which I need at this time! Thank you choir for all you do! To anyone out there please say a prayer for me?! I have a testimony of my savior and know he has bailed me out way too many times.❤. I just want all this behind me for good!!

2:40 They Sounded so wonderful the ending of it was amazing with that harmony and also with the orchestra It touches my heart thanks for singing this one 3:38 Its my favorite of it at the end of that peace
Bello himno...de mucha inspiración. Espero algún día, si Dios lo permite, poder escuchar al coro en vivo, es un sueño que le pido al Señor poder hacer realidad alguna vez...un gran abrazo y miles de bendiciones desde Santiago de Chile...
that was a masterpiece ! I know we are all used to the Tabernacle Choir never disappointing but this hymn just hits different ! definitely in my top 3 all time favorite tab performance along side with How firm a foundation 2012 and Come thou fount of every blessing (2011)
I pray that righteousness will reign forever and ever…please God, bring it back to this earth, soon. For now, we must press on, and be happy as we live our covenants.
"We will NOT retreat though our numbers may be few when compared with the opposite host in view. " They are there all around us now, but "COURAGE, for the Lord is on our side!!!" "We'll not fear the wicked nor give heed to what they say, But the LORD alone we will obey!!!!"
I listen to this daily, inspiring, especially with this ending to see the choir members singing so wonderfully on the last note, just awesome! Love the TAB choir!
Publish this song so we can use conference version. Music with organ background is clearer than with an orchestra. I prefer it because I can hear the words and sing along!
"We will heed not what the wicked may say, but the Lord alone we will obey!" Yes!
We will listen only to what the Lord our God has to say
This song touched me more than any other in general conference has before. Especially since it followed Pres. Nelson and it was clear that many of the members of the choir were feeling it too. So powerful and beautiful.
Me too. Wow
Me too ❤
Amen!!! 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾
Me too
Have always thought they are quite boring arrangements....💤 But this blew the roof off!🤯
When I was 12, I was "too cool" to sing in primary. It was the early 80s and I was into a special era in BYU football. Then the primary music leader taught this song. I envisioned myself bravely battling as underdog and God cheering for me every time I made a right choice. It forever changed my heart ❤️.
Thanks for sharing that story!
😊
Yes, it really makes you feel fearless haha
I believe you still are too cool
I am an inactive of the church and ran across this song several weeks ago. I love it. I listen to it every morning to get my day off to a good start. This is the most beautiful arrangement of any hymn I think I have ever heard. ❤
I’m going to start doing this every day. Thank you!
im sure you are missed and loved, come back.

Probably the greatest performance of any hymn at general conference. SO SO good.
The word powerful does not even do this song justice. This rendition truly embodies hope, reassurance, strength, and the call to rise. Thank you choir for this song. It is a gift to us all.💗
Wow, how can you not take courage. The most powerful rendition of this song I have ever heard. Sounded and felt as if there were a heavenly host singing along side them.
So many of us were in tears, I don’t doubt that a heavenly choir was singing with us to help us get the sound out. ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
@@aprilmurray1664 Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
I felt the same and re-listen to it to feel that feeling again and again. Heaven is near.
We sang this rendition in our ward choir and I swear the angels were singing with us- Our choir director told us to envision as we sang, that the first verse with just the men singing was missionaries, just meekly giving it their best day after day- the second verse was their mothers, adding their prayers for them, and that the third verse was the angels of heaven swooping down and blessing their efforts and magnifying them. Man did we sing that,song great!!
Crushing crescendo😅Come what may, this will be the rally cry of the Zion people. Awake, awake; put on thy strength…
Indeed! Put on thy strength, O Zion, as Elder Bednar counseled us in that same conference in the Sunday morning session. ❤
Greatest final 20 minutes of a conference session.
“Courage, for the Lord is on thy side”
Wow. This song blew me away. I was tearing up a little. "Courage..."
I can’t stop listening to this song. It gives me goosebumps and such hope in this wicked world we live in.
It does! We just have to remember that the more difficult things get, the more opportunity we have to show our faith to god! With uncertainty comes hope!
I’m new in the church ⛪️ this song touch me
Welcome! ❤
Welcome!!
This was one of their best! It’s all about timing. After the talk President Nelson gave it was AMAZING!!!
and even now it is still amazing! I keep listening to it over and over - such a powerful Spirit in it!
Turn it up LOUD and fill the whole house will this anthem. Not only will you be FILLED with joy but the evil one will be gone. Sending love to everyone!
Love to you from Florida.
@@its.nice2b_niceand love to you from NZ xx
Brilliant
I LOVED this version!!! so powerful!
I totally agree. Beautiful arrangement.
it is a beautiful world and song
Amazing and beautiful
The choir was singing so beautiful and wonderful up until minute 2:02 ....then something happened, something extraordinary happened, it was as if the veil parted and the host of Heaven joined in.... the strength and power of the Spirit bearing witness of the Lord, is palpable; it was a preview of things to come!
The Sister @1:44 truly felt that! I felt it too 😭🥹🤍
So powerful . If only I could keep this inspiration in my heart all the time !!
My thought exactly! If only
Listen to it every day if you want!
You can! Pray for clarity and guidance from god, and he will guide you and strengthen you!
I have no words as it pierces my soul!
This song won general conference for me.
Me too! 😊

WOW this is the definition of glorious. How could you not feel inspired after hearing this?!
yep, it's inspiring even to people who aren't exclusively Christian or anything. anyone who feels the aspiration towards what's Great
I love their rendition of this song, it’s so powerful ❤
This was so moving and such a powerful declaration of reverence and love for our Master and His work, as the Prophet Joseph Smith declared, “Shall We not go on in So Great a Cause?”

Praise God! Glory in his name!
Fear not. 🙏🏻♥️🌹 fear not what the wicked say
Beautiful!
Wonderful arrangement
Absolutely amazing!! Touched me to my soul especially after President bestowed a blessing on each one I felt it!
I never tire of hearing this arrangement, but my gosh, that new ending was powerful!!
I wonder who decided to make the change, Richard Elliot, Mack Wilberg, President Nelson? I love it and think it was perfect!
I’ve been listening to this rendition almost daily since conference. Such power! It gives me courage to move forward everyday and trust the Lord
Not only highly skilled, but filled with the spirit, anyone can see it
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH! ❤
Beautiful Thing
Am not a Mormon, but love the choir. God bless❤
This is so pretty, my favourite version of Let Us All Press On by the Tabernacle Choir 😇I really love the Organ aswell
What a beautiful rendition of such a mind blowingly powerful hymn! It's as if Jesus Christ was singing with them at that moment!
This hymn made me shed tears I can truly feel the power this hymn has that moves the heart itself ❤❤❤
This song inspires me to do good each day
As we are surrounded by evil everywhere, this song gives me courage, and that we are not alone, and though we are few in numbers we must be big in faith and actions❤️

I did the same with the BYU choir version of “Come thou Fount” from the late 90s 🤙🏽♥️❤️
Nao tem coral mas belo e confortante.do que este , amo muito os hinos.
I’d be ok with the choir singing this every conference. Like a theme song for saints. ❤
This is a totally inspired version! I listen to it over and over. Beautiful! Thank you, Richard Elliott for this beautiful arrangement! Just Wow!!!!

My theme song.. for the rest of my life..❤
Amazing voices like the angels from the heaven. Amen 👏👏👏💜💜💜🌹🌷
Probably my favorite general conference Hymn of all times. I keep coming back to this song every time I need more courage. Thank you!!!
This song should be on everyone’s hype/pump up/pre game playlist!
His Saints He will cheer. I truly believe in this word so fear not.
I've had a drug addiction problem for sometime and I've really struggled with it at times! I grew up in the church to a good family but I slipped a few times recently!
