I’ve commented before how I love music. I like most of the hymns that we sing in the Church, but there are definitely some that I like more than others. My favourite Sacrament hymn is #169. “As Now We Take the Sacrament” has beautiful music and words to match:

1. As now we take the [...]

First of all, let me say that I am not a musician, and not a singer. I took piano lessons when I was a kid, and can read basic music. I have an ok voice, but probably only because I sing a lot, not because I’m in any choirs (which I’m not).

Someone sent me a link to a YouTube video for something called “The Apostle Song”. It is a little song that helps you remember our current 15 apostles (including the First Presidency). The tune sounds like the theme song from The Beverly Hillbillies (or so my wife says).
Strangely enough, that very day I also received [...]

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 [...]
