President Hinckley’s Poem

February 11, 2008

I think this is the last posting I’ll have about Gordon B. Hinckley’s passing and the event surrounding it…

At the funeral, there were two hymns sung that were written by President Hinckley. Most people are aware that the lyrics for hymn # 135, My Redeemer Lives, were written by President Hinckley and the music was composed by one his missionary companions.

The other hymn was one that hadn’t been put to music before. Both ABC4 and KUTV have good stories about this. Apparently Janice Kapp Perry wrote the music to it, and if you want a copy of it, you can get it for free on her web site.
