The voice of an angel singing with a heavenly choir. That was an emotion inspiring performance.

@renegaderunner332

INDEED!

@sirrobin4394

Me too. It's sunny outside, a gorgeous day, and they are escaping to freedom. Does it get any more liberating than that?

@koolertrek

This Choir is heavenly, esp. in person. I am not LDS but live in Salt Lake City, UT. Any chance I get to see the choir perform I take it

A voice like this is one of the greatest gifts a human can receive. How nice we can see and listen to this as many times as we'd like to on the internet!

This song is the closest we'll ever get to hear angels sing in this realm! A beautiful and discipline choir!

@melitafreeman1770

Beautiful! The lead and and choir complimented each other. This is Kingdom glory demonstrated. Thank you for sharing.

@TheCarsche

what a voice. some have been critical when she sings the reprise in her lower register, but I think it was a wonderful way to end the song blending with the choir for the finale portion. This was an outstanding rendition of this wonderful song

@mylesgarcia4625
