I know the music but not the words, so I'm not sure if it was sung in our Lutheran Church. The hymn I just refuse to sing in church in 'Onward Christian Soldiers'. Yet, I see the emotion on the faces of those who do sing it.

By the way, this youth group performance was very good and I compliment them.
