I would really like to download this version but was unable to find it on itunes just not the acoustic version.. if you can direct me to where i can find this version id really appreciate it .. thanks for your help
I just watched you and your family on the Food Nanny show and loved your singing. thank you so much for being so "unconventional". Do you have a CD out?
i was in tai bei w you bro, many years ago. i saw you on tv a little while back and i said, i know that dude! I love your version and how you changed up the melody. ingenious! ting chi lai hen bang. i remember you knew a lot of card tricks, and played the guitar like a madman. do you only cover hymns or do you rock out as well? me, i left the whole religious thing behind a long time ago, but damm thats a good song. i've showed a lot of my friends and family. peace to you, brother
@jbharuch many thanks! i guess it's about august now. my wife and i had a baby girl three months ago and i'm just now catching up. thanks for the note!
thank you for taking my otherwise dark and dreary day and sharing your talent with me - putting a smile on my face and helping me find a little more hope.
Great job! Do you know any Bag pipers? I have always wanted to hear a combined sound of pipes guitar and hymns.... Keep it up you sound like you have prayed a lot about the arrangements.
@gumpandjennay hey gumpandjennay: i hadn't thought of pipes on this one but hey maybe! i know some here in NYC. maybe for the next record. thanks for the suggestion!
@ericdxx ...hi eric, there is an 'original' melody (which i've rearranged) and the chords aren't direct from the hymnal. but the hymnal arrangement is also only an interpretation of the melody.
I heard Glenn Beck mention this as one of his favorite hymns. Since I had never heard it, I came to YouTube to find it. Yours was the first version to show. Excellent.
I went to high school with him. He was a year older. He was always a brilliant musician, I never liked him much and vice versa in school and he and I were not friends, but I was always the first seated during our HKIS talent shows to listen to him. He has improved and grown as a musician so much ! I remember his brother was always regarded as the star musician, but I think Mark grew to be a true musician. Simply amazing ! Mark, this was really really beautiful.
I love your style. Are you the same one who performed Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy? Sound s very different, but I loved both. Thank you for sharing.
I am a direct descendant of William Clayton, he is my great-great-great grandfather. He was a good violin player and I love reading his journal that he left us, not to mention being able to hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing a song so close to my heart, every time I hear the song sung I get goose bumps, I can feel my ancestors. Thank you for posting this wonderful clip.
Wow....I want to hear more from you. You have such a beautiful and pure voice. Such an amazing recording. Do you have more? I want to hear them ALL!!!!!!!
Thank you! This is so beautiful aranged this way. I know the saints sang this a lot on that long journey and you play it as I think they might have. Who knew you could serve a mission on youtube with your music!
Thank you for sharing this song which admonishes and encourages us saints of God. You minister with great passion, and the love of Jesus Christ and His annointing...I am blessed. Keep up the good work.
Benn Mormon my whole life, I've listened to this song about 4 million times. I've never loved it more than when you sing it.

Come, come, ye Saints, no toil nor labor fear;
But with joy wend your way.
Though hard to you this journey may appear,
Grace shall be as your day.
'Tis better far for us to strive
Our useless cares from us to drive;
Do this, and joy your hearts will swell—
All is well! All is well!
osmiolos 3 years ago
Why should we mourn or think our lot is hard?
'Tis not so; all is right.
Why should we think to earn a great reward
If we now shun the fight?
Gird up your loins; fresh courage take.
Our God will never us forsake;
And soon we'll have this tale to tell—
All is well! All is well!
