I always told my youngest son I wanted this played at my funeral. Then he passed away suddenly. I play this now to celebrate him and the mission he is serving in the eternities.

My oldest brother unexpectedly passed away a few months ago. He was only 34 years old, a corrections officer. He left behind 6 children, a wife, 6 siblings, parents and countless friends and family. I stumbled upon BYU when I was looking for a version of Danny Boy for his funeral and found the BYU version and this song, both of which were played at the funeral. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing these beautiful songs, it meant so much to me and to my family during such a difficult time. Listening to it still brings me comfort. Thank you!

I too have lost two older brothers and find comfort in this. May God keep his memory close to heart for all of you and thank you for sharing his story with us all. Music for me also heals and in the legacy of us that live on a wee bit longer may we find comfort to know they have not left us but they will come home again and greet us once more where death can never again take them from us. God bless. Love Dennis. xxx

I lost my sister. It was sad. I've never cried like I did. Then I turned to this song and it described exactly what it felt to let her go. She went to be with the Lord. She let go of all those burdens and she just went when we thought she'd live doing the will of God. I won't bind her to the plow.... I've set her free.

This makes me think of the Prodigal Son🥺❤️

In the quiet misty morning When the moon has gone to bed, When the sparrows stop their singing And the sky is clear and red, When the summer's ceased its gleaming When the corn is past its prime, When adventure's lost its meaning - I'll be homeward bound in time Bind me not to the pasture Chain me not to the plow Set me free to find my calling And I'll return to you somehow If you find it's me you're missing If you're hoping I'll return, To your thoughts I'll soon be listening, And in the road I'll stop and turn Then the wind will set me racing As my journey nears its end And the path I'll be retracing When I'm homeward bound again Bind me not to the pasture Chain me not to the plow Set me free to find my calling And I'll return to you somehow (louder) Bind me not to the pasture Chain me not to the plow Set me free to find my calling And I'll return to you somehow

As the world is ending this is one of the songs we will hear

I never imagined a child of my own..so fine to know God is always able to reach them..

This song meant so much for me, because as a Returned Missionary last year from the Great Texas Fort Worth Mission! 2 months before I’m done with my Mission and it was on a P-Day, I got a called from my Family on the Islands that My Mom had passed away on the night before and I was just didn’t know what to do or say. But I just kept going on with the Missionary work, and didn’t even tell my companion about it cuz I know it’s a big deal. I just try to focus on the work and keep my Mom words just to finish what I have been called to do. So 3 days later they finally informed the Mission office and the Mission President called us but this time my companion answered the phone and he got told that we need to meet up with the Mission President ASAP!. Then that’s when I let my Companion knows about it and he was so shocked and sad. But long story short I’m home now but idc about what anyone says about me and why I didn’t come home to my Mom or spend lot of time with her before she passed away. All I care and know it’s that I’ll be able to meet her one day and my Dad also. I have strong Faith in His Gospel! Peace and love from the Marshall Islands 🇲🇭!!

Returned from Utah Salt lake city mission. English and Spanish. Helped in Midvale, Rocks spring, Wyoming, Murray, and rose Park Utah. And returned with honor, served all 2 years. And finally got my testimony. And felt heart broken leaving, but so happy being released by my president. And being within my parents embrace.🥲🫡 And heard this song thru out the whole time.

the children voices are like angels

I sang this in a choir at NAU Music Camp with a young woman who I kept in touch with for a few years until I started college. We exchanged letters and always kept this song close to our hearts. We started dating, eventually married, and now, 17 years after I told her how I felt, have 2 beautiful children. This brought some tears, but of true happiness and gratitude. Thank you Vocal Point. =)

This song is my favorite among BYU vocal point's song. Through this song I no longer worry about my health for I know god will provide my healing.

Yep, I’m weeping. This is so incredibly beautiful. 🥲

Singing this song in choir right now for Spring concert. And it is SO awe inspiring and beautiful. It can make the cool, and most popular kids in school get teary and be moved by it. It's one of the most serene and peaceful piece I have to say I've ever done. It's a God given song that is sung by groups of angels sent by God to move and touch others

Glory to Almighty God!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I ask Jesus to bless you all on this beautiful mission and many people can be touched by the Holy Spirit! God bless you all!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

My grandpa died just last year a few days before his birthday and this song was one of his favorites. A friend of his played this before his passing and sent the spirit to us. Thank you so much Byu Vocal Point for doing this. The spirit was strong and I was reminded of Grandpa.

somehow, i feel the the urge to say, "best song/performance/video....something, ever".

Goosebumps.

This is my favorite song, and you guys sing it beautifully. I get chills every time.

Two wonderful choirs sing these great versions of this iconic song! I love it!

I’m a Veteran and today at a school the children sang this for us. Brought my to tears

This is incredible

The lead's voice is very pleasant listening. The sound of the All-American Boys Chorus is absolutely beautiful.

Thank you so much for the great Music gives us a little Peace Silvie

That first rotation with the group appearing, uncut, was pretty clever. Neat effect. :-)

It is everything this piece could possibly be with the human voice. It is lavish, sumptuous in harmonic sonority, beautiful haunting turns of dissonance into hopeful resolution, and the boys' voices as a soaring ostinato? Sheer aural bliss. If you are not tearful, moved, or overwhelmed after wrapping yourself in this sonic masterpiece, you, my friend, have no soul. Once again, Vocal Point, you have produced a work of art.

Years ago, I spent a year in Georgia Children's Chorus, and we did a concert with the boys choir showcased in this video. Those boys are truly amazing vocalists. I was blown away when they performed a piece with overtones.

This song means so much to me I lost my grandma 4 years ago I think of her and one day I will see her again

I'm doing this for show choir and I'm addicted to it

Wow! This is SO beautiful!

Just beautiful beyond words...

God surely has a plan to let us free of all our restrictions and we shall find our little place where we can fully feel our spirit and our mortal man both commune together in a work so much worth the finding and the freedom that comes from find our callings. every ones is unique to find but it takes work and time separated from the ones we love. but we can always return to our loved ones. ALWAYS!!

Being in the military away from family for long periods of time, hearing this song made me break down. So beautiful and lovely. Thank you, God, for this music.

My son so enjoyed working with Vocal Point on this project. This AABC mom is grateful!

Laura Jolly Yes it was!

I think these lyrics are up for individual interpretation, but I took it to be sung by someone who has just passed away and is singing to his family that he'll see them again. In other words, when he says don't bind me to the pastures and plows (the mundane labors of mortality) but let me go and find my calling (the truth, and everything that awaits me in the next life / heaven), then I'll still come back to you and I'll hear your thoughts and we'll still be close somehow, and we'll still see each other again. It's a song of comfort to those of us who have been left behind.

omg they put Holst's Jupiter in the intro I'm in love

Excellent. Just Excellent !

Brings tears and chills every. Single. Time.

Not sure who gave this song a thumbs down but whoever did doesn’t know good choral music and a cappella. Well sung gentlemen, beautiful rendition of an awesome song

Thank you for the peace this song brings, it’s nice in this world.

This was the piece of music I chose for my husband's funeral. It breaks my heart every time I hear it. So Beautiful.

My chorus recently ended and this was all of our favorite song to sing so whenever I listen to this song it just gives me chills and makes me want to cry because joining that chorus was probably the best decision of my life because I met some lifelong friends there that I will cherish forever so I just wanted to say how much this song means to me

That was beautiful!

These songs make it well with my soul.

Lyrics: In the quiet misty morning When the moon has gone to bed, When the sparrows stop their singing And the sky is clear and red, When the summer’s ceased its gleaming, When the corn is past its prime, When adventure’s lost its meaning, I’ll be homeward bound in time. Bind me not to the pasture; Chain me not to the plow. Set me free to find my calling And I’ll return to you somehow. If you find it’s me you’re missing, If you’re hoping I’ll return, To your thoughts I’ll soon be list’ning, And in the road I’ll stop and turn. Then the wind will set me racing As my journey nears its end, And the path I’ll be retracing When I’m homeward bound again. Bind me not to the pasture; Chain me not to the plow. Set me free to find my calling And I’ll return to you somehow. (x2)
