My music teacher wrote this beautiful hymn, Sr. Suzanne Toolan. She taught me from 1970-1974. She is 96 now. I will always love her.

I love the drums it sounds very similar to what we have in Africa, Nigeria to be specific.

God Bless You, Margaret. I flew into Houston in June 2018 and saw that this choir while on tour would be singing in The Woodlands that same evening. So i went straight from the airport to catch them live. Near the end of their performance that asked that any Notre Dame alumni in the audience come join them on the stage to sing the Alma Mater. So I can say I sang with this very same beautiful group of people.

This is absolutely beautiful! So jubilant, depicting some of the joy we will have in Heaven! It says in Scripture: "Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the land. Serve the Lord with gladness. Come to His presence with singing". (Psalm 100:1-2).

Elizabeth Pearson , Jesus love you. You sound a beautiful person. Matthew 12 v 34 For a man’s words flow out of what fills his heart. “A good man draws good things from his store of goodness; a bad man draws bad things from his store of badness .” I wish those nasty , cutting comments regarding the non believer were changed to comments of gentle reproach, and words of encouragement.

Thank you so much for this beautiful rendition. It’s April 11, 2021 and I’m mourning the loss of my 23 year old son, who passed away on March 13, 2021. I decided to turn to the amazing promise of the message of this usually very sad/somber song. It usually makes me cry because of a friend’s funeral 28 years ago. But this version of the song and the happy sounds and beautiful, joyous faces of these innocent young people who are so happy in singing this song amazes me and gives me spiritual sustenance as I suffer the loss of my best friend, my son, the product of so much love and effort and work and joy. Thank you, and may God bless each and every one of these people.

I'm 24 and she was only 23. We were together for over 3 and half years, I feel so lost and alone now but I am trusting God that he will allow us to one day to feel joy instead of tears.

Every time I watch this video and hear these upbeat words and music, I can't help get a bit emotional, but in a good way. To the Notre Dame Folk Choir I say a big thank you!

I first learned this song as a member of a group of high school students from around the Detroit area back in 1972. We were called the Life Singers and this was part of our performance. These young folks from ND did a fabulous job of performing it.
