How Firm a foundation by the Mormon tabernacle Choir (lyrics indescription)

My favorite verse at 2:02

[yugoroth1]

Yay! I'm learnin' how to play this on the Organ!

[ShadowedAngel0]

"That soul, thou all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never, no never, no never forsake!" In the song, these words are spoken from the perspective of God. He's the one who is saying that if we turn to Jesus to repent, he will not desert us, and he'll NEVER forsake us. That is all the comfort I need.

[shub16]

"What more can he say than to you he hath said?" Thats my second favorite part. We sang this in seminary today. :D

[yugoroth1]

One of the best church hymns to sing!

[ackflanhunter]

"Fear not I am with thee o be not dismayed. For I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I'll strengen thee help thee and cause thee to stand. Upheld by my righteous upheld by my righteous upheld by my righteous omnipotent hand."

Hearing that one verse every morning before I go to seminary gives me the strength I need for the day, Man is nothing without God. I know that, and I know that no matter where we are we are never forgotten. I am and always will be a Mormon.

[vaspen12]

we sang this in girls camp, and I fell in love with it! I kept getting it stuck in my head! :D

[scubawrestler]

O fest wie ein Felsen ist, Vater, dein Wort.

Du bist denies Volkes allmächtiger Hort.

Was mehr kannst du sagen, als du schon getan:

"O schließe an Jesus, o schließe an Jesus,

o schließe an Jesus, den Heiland dich an!"

[scubawrestler]

In Leid oder Freude, ob krank oder wohl,

ob Armut mich prüft oder Glück mir gibt voll,

daheim oder fort, auf dem Land oder Meer,

nach meinem Berürfnis, nach meinem Bedürfnis,

nach meinem Bedürfnis, so gibst du mir, Herr.

[scubawrestler]

Zagt nicht! Ich bin mit dir o fürchte dich nicht,

denn ich bin dein Gott du stehst vor mein’ Angesicht.

Ich stärke, und schutze und sage dir, “Stand!”

Erhoben durch meine, erhoben durch meine

durch meine aufrichtig' allmächtige Hand.

[scubawrestler]

Mein Herz, das an Jesus sich lehnt mit Vertraun,

kann sicher auf deine Verheißungen baun;

und mag alle Hölle auch gegen mich sein:

Du lässest mich nimmer, du lässest mich nimmer,

du lässest mich nimmer, o nimmer allein.

[liandro1981]

I love the last verse...

[Rashom]

Probably my favorite. People can say whatever they want about LDS... but the foundation which the church creates within it's members is unshakable.  Glad to have grown up the way I did especially in these trying times. :)

[d123p001]

"For I am thy God and will still give thee aid." What wonderful comfort in this crazy world we live!

[imamanofmyword1]

Same here!!!

[Owlfury]
