Thank You. I am a member for 63 years and I love the missionaries. I and 85 and I go with them often to teach investigators. I and my father are former Baptist ministers. We read the Book of Mormon and followed Moroni 10:4. God bless you all.

I went to the Church today and was rapt with an engulfing feeling of The Holy Spirit. I cannot believe it, but I am coming to believe this is The Restored Church, truly.

I had the privilege to sing in this MTC choir before my mission in Los Angeles. We didn't have much time to practice but every time we did it was as if Holy Angels sang the parts in our ears. The spirit was strong, that we cried every practice. What a moment to remember!

Bless you dear missionaries. I served in the West German Mission in 1961-64 and continue to study the scriptures in German and often turn to Joseph's "First Prayer." I hope his moments and your singing this hymn 7 years ago find you still moving forward with what Alma called "full purpose of heart."

My wife and I are missionary companions. We’re just coming up on 2 years and are extending for another year, if they’ll let us. We love serving anywhere we can.

I had this song played at my baptism back in 2016

I shared this story with a man in a small park in Hiroshima Japan. The Spirit was so strong, witnessing to my heart that God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ did reveal themselves to the boy Joseph who had an honest question. I felt that same Spirit and undeniable witness of truth listening to this.

I'm so happy to see Elders and sisters singing for God

There's something raw with their voices. Young, spirited. I love the imperfections and the parts where they seem to transcend to higher levels of singing.

I love to see Elders and Sisters singing this song

Whoever is singing at Conference, in whatever arrangement, sings beautifully. I have never been disappointed in any performance during General Conference.

As the choir ascends in key it stokes my soul to the core. The spirit is so strong with these mighty missionaries as they sing and testify of the first vision.❤❤❤

This is my favourite version of this song

Tremendous faith and desire to serve and sing by these fine young men and young women. Wonderful music too.

May God blessed all human in the world brother and sister ❤❤❤❤❤

A wonderful story and all true of how it all began. It was 1820 Joseph was a young boy and he was confused about religion. One day Joseph read James 1-5 and the next day he went into the Grove and talked to God. Satan tried to stop him but he did not succeed Joseph overcame Satan and then the vison opened. Joseph saw a pillar of light over his head and two personages appeared. God appeared first called Joseph by name and said "Joseph this is my beloved son Hear Him" Then the Savior appeared Joseph asked him and the Savior told him "Don't join any churches they are all wrong and they are an abomination in my sight they draw closer to me with their lips but they are far from me." The Savior told him other things which can not be written and then the vision closed and Joseph went home and told Lucy about it. This simple vison is the reason why we have the church Joseph talked to God and became his prophet and with that The Church was founded.

That music change from 3:12-3:17, is SO SO pretty..

It reminds me about my best 2 years!

It is truely appreciated that his pray in the forest was made in the year of 1819. I testify Joseph Smith is our prophet and he is the servant of THE LORD.

It helps to know the context for this song, which is, Matthew 6:33, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you". I've experienced this throughout my life. God cares especially for those who seek Him. As 1 Nephi 7:40 says, "And he loveth those who will have him to be their God". He also said, as recorded in John 14:15, "If ye love Me, keep my commandments". His commandments are the means by thich God blesses His children, as recorded in Mosiah 2:24 "And secondly, he doth require that ye should do as he hath commanded you; for which if ye do, he doth immediately bless you" and Doctrine and Covenants 132 20-21, "There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated- And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated."... Hear Him, pray to Him, Seek Him and He will care for you

Beautiful! Especially when sung with a pure testimony.

Lyrics 1. Oh, how lovely was the morning! Radiant beamed the sun above. Bees were humming, sweet birds singing, Music ringing thru the grove, When within the shady woodland Joseph sought the God of love, When within the shady woodland Joseph sought the God of love. 2. Humbly kneeling, sweet appealing- ’Twas the boy’s first uttered prayer- When the pow’rs of sin assailing Filled his soul with deep despair; But undaunted, still he trusted In his Heav’nly Father’s care, But undaunted, still he trusted In his Heav’nly Father’s care. 3. Suddenly a light descended, Brighter far than noonday sun, And a shining, glorious pillar O’er him fell, around him shone, While appeared two heav’nly beings, God the Father and the Son, While appeared two heav’nly beings, God the Father and the Son. 4. “Joseph, this is my Beloved; Hear him!” Oh, how sweet the word! Joseph’s humble prayer was answered, And he listened to the Lord. Oh, what rapture filled his bosom, For he saw the living God, Oh, what rapture filled his bosom, For he saw the living God.

This is my favorite song, so beautiful, they did a fabulous job. What a delight! It truly would be beneficial if in the comment section the words to all of these songs were posted. And if the song has been altered, then in the comment section it should show the way they sang it, so we can praise the Lord with them. The reason why I say the words should be put in the comment section, and not in the video clip itself, is because a person can push translation, and read the words in their own language, if they are not singing it in English with the choir.

Oh, how lovely was the morning! Radiant beamed the sun above. Bees were humming, sweet birds singing, Music ringing thru the grove, When within the shady woodland Joseph sought the God of love, When within the shady woodland Joseph sought the God of love. 2. Humbly kneeling, sweet appealing-- 'Twas the boy's first uttered prayer-- When the pow'rs of sin assailing Filled his soul with deep despair; But undaunted, still he trusted In his Heav'nly Father's care; But undaunted, still he trusted In his Heav'nly Father's care. 3. Suddenly a light descended, Brighter far than noonday sun, And a shining, glorious pillar O'er him fell, around him shone, While appeared two heav'nly beings, God the Father and the Son, While appeared two heav'nly beings, God the Father and the Son. . "Joseph, this is my Beloved; Hear him!" Oh, how sweet the word! Joseph's humble prayer was answered, And he listened to the Lord. Oh, what rapture filled his bosom, For he saw the living God; Oh, what rapture filled his bosom, For he saw the living God.

The Spirit Bore witness to me as a very young child, while singing this in Primary, and today over 60 years later, it still makes my eyes leak. I know beyond any doubt that God the Father, and His Beloved Son, the Risen Jesus Christ did appear to the Boy Joseph to begin the ushering in of the Restoration, and Fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I testify that the young boy Joseph Smith did actually see and talked with God the Father and his son Jesus Christ and the true gospel of Jesus Christ was restored through Joseph Smith by the power of God. I know that to be true.

looking for the ASL version of this song. My son and I attended conference onsite that day and the ASL signers were amazing, and it's one of the most beautiful things I ever witnessed

Thank You for our Sunday service it was nice. I pray for our missionaries safety.

Such a beautiful song. Lovely voices. It brings chills. 😇💛

They sound like angels.

That was beautiful. I'm impressed with that choir of missionaries. They must have practiced very well.

This is my favorite arrangement of this hymn. It was first performed at this conference and proudly my missionary son was in the choir.

Thank you. I needed a quick pick me up.

And how can you deny it? God loves us so much that he personally visited brother Joseph to restore the ancient order.

Brava!! Goosebumps!

I Love this music

Jesus Bless You All!

We sang this in my stake choir for stake conference about 8 months ago. I counted the amens, I think there were 27 total. I think the part I was singing, soprano, had 10. It was a lot of amens, and I think it was the hardest part.

Great rendition of one of the most significant hyms of the Restoration. Very Beautiful!!! Brother Herrero Saint Cloud Florida

The ladies and the gentlemen are singing it very well.

So wonderful...

I love this song it is so amazing.
