Now more than ever, members are aware that "This gospel shall be preached unto every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people" (D&C 133:36). As a result of having members worldwide, the Church has members who speak a diverse array of languages. Even if we don't understand the language, we can still feel the spirit as we listen to hymns sung in a different language. Here are 12 hymns sung in languages from around the world.
