It's beautiful but it can't be in the Lion King, because what the lyrics mean and stand for does not go with it. The song is a prayer to YAHWEH to take one to the heavenly Jerusalem described in the BIBLE. So nope. Lion King is one of my favourite animations, by the way.

But there are not only boys, there are also ladies. It is the most beautiful choir I have ever heard. And what I especially like is that white and black singers sing together in the most beautiful way. And André van der Merwe is an absolutely top conductor. Congratulations and warm greetings from Switzerland
This is amazing. If all South Africans could embrace each others differences and unite in harmony this country will be able to achieve so much more. Listening to this stunning choir gives me hope for a bright future in South Africa. I pray that all will allow the light to shine on other fellow South Africans and that we would unite like never before giving room for each person to grow and achieve success. This is a great country with so much potential. Let's build instead of breakdown. Lose the fight to win the battle.

What a Joy to find this through the power of the internet. Some seventy years ago, I was introduced to Afrikaner music, through the songs of Marais and Maria. Finding The Stellenbosch Choir while searching for more of their music has been a true blessing. A youngster from a small town in Pennsylvania found out that there is a whole world of music waiting to be sung and heard. Music that transcends borders and nationalism to bring their message to the world. For giving yourselves to the betterment of our world, I humbly Thank You. Pete
When studying music at the University of Cape Town I sang for the Cape Town Youth Choir and met this choir at the choir Olympics in Austria. I was very impressed from that day on. Both choirs took some very vital victories that year. Great to see that people are still sing back home

A beautiful song, no matter how it's performed. Everyone did a wonderful job praising God.
J’adore cette chorale que j ai découverte par hasard. Le maître de chœur est talentueux et les voix sublimes ! Écoutez ANGEL c est sublime ! Félicitations !
A man wrote a catchy tune and wrote some words to it. He asked his sister to sing it just to hear it all together and two stars were born.

Absolutely wonderful! I come from Ireland and many people love Ireland for it's green fields and nature. I would love to invite this choir to Ireland, perhaps on St. Patrick's day, spread their sound and put Ireland on it's head. I am sure the Irish would join in. The sound of Africa is within us all.

Thank you Andre van der Merwe! The way you are bringing all the “tribes” of South Africans together through this choir is commendable. I love watching how they interact and love on one another, celebrating life, enjoying the music. This was exceptional!!❤️
A student from Lydenburg was in the choir but I can't see her. I was not expecting to cry at 22h35 on a Monday evening before turning off the light. Magnificent. Reminds me of my days in the Potchefstroom University Choir twenty years + ago under Prof Awie Van Wyk.
when this popped up i knew it was going to be great and i wasnt disappointed
Lawd, how homesick I am now!!! :'((((( Living in Europe since 2016! Miss my peeps & its beauty!
Absolutely stunning. So proud to be a BMus product of Stellenbosch University.

Now it’s time for Andre van der Merwe to arrange an equally stunning choral version of the most beautiful love song on earth; the Swahili love song, Malaika. Only this arranger and choir could do something really special with it. They have sung beautifully in Swahili with their rendition of Baba Yetu.
I don't think there's a University choir like Stellenbosch in the country🌟🌹🌹
As soon as you see the evening skies, just know!!! 😭👏❤️
Wow, this version is so💟 beautiful. The best choir.
The world MUST hear you , your pure magic you bring great joy the world MUST hear you
How wonderful it is to listen to and see this world class choir again. Their passion and love for expression through song is truly a blessing. Thank you Stellenbosch University Choir.
Incomparable. Everybody who has ever been part of a choir knows what discipline it takes to achieve such a performance. 👏👏👏💯
This is the best choir in SA in fact in Africa🙂... I'll be part of this amazing team one day that's a dream
I wonder how it is in heaven,,,this sounds more like it through out....hallelujah
Wow, what did I just stumble upon...I'm speechless. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow! Two in one day! What a treat! Thank you! I can't stop happy crying every time I am listening/watching you. Baba Yetu remains my absolutely beloved, but everything is just so incredibly, elatingly beautiful!!!!

Hi Alinda, how are you doing?
An amazing unexpected find. Wonderful.
You understood the assignment. Thanks 🙏🏽 finally a choir who did this song justice.
This song has a very deep meaning- and is even spiritual. We should aim to make the New Jerusalem our final destiny. Jerusalema ikhaya lami (Jerusalem is my home)
Splendid! I am lost of words to describe this performance. Everything is just impeccable from the voices to the choreography. Good job to the choir. Wow 👌 👏
LOVE seeing the smiles of joy on the faces of choir members. Joy at performing and joy of the words...beautiful combination!!!
Africa! Beautiful...
one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen and heard
Great great arrangement. The tenor soloist, a voice I'd never tire of hearing. The choir: Maximum respect. There's just a perfect blend of voices; what is called oral perception. All parts singing without overshadowing the order. God bless you! I love this cover in particular.
I love the guys playing the drums 💯❣️
Music indeed has got no boundaries and discrimination, am so happy about this 😄❤️
With love from Kenya
Power Power Powerful...I cried.
The Condactors level of understanding sound 👌👌👌
Wow!!! Amazing! The lady who sang that song deserves a big award for this song! The whole world is singing this song! What a gift from God! Thank You Nomcebo! The choir sounds so amazing singing Jeruzalema!
music is one of the best virtues that human beings have achieved

I came to know this wonderful choir with “Baba Yetu” but this song…well, it just seems to be an exultant anthem of praise to life, full of hope and radiant and vibrant. Thank you choir singers, conductor for making this a better world through your song!
Smart children of God, I’m from there but can’t even try that beautiful sound ; be blessed more and more
I want this exact version to be the sound I hear in heaven.
OH, it is so, so good to again see and hear Andre' van der Merwe and the Stellenbosch Choir. What a beautiful escape from the world's current issues!
