ChooseTheSun Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Anything from the Best Two Years soundtrack, especially "In the Wink of an Eye". Get ready for the waterworks, for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieC Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 My missionary sons are all particularly fond of "Army of Helaman" from the Primary songbook. The a capella version recorded by the Moleni Brothers is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I know it's totally 80's, but I've always loved "In The Hollow of Thy Hand." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmarch Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) I like "Lead Kindly Light" lead kindly light amid thencircling gloom Lead thou me on! The night is dark and i am far from home Lead thou me on! Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see THe distant scene-- one step enough for me. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou Shouldst lead me on. I loved to choose my path; but now, Lead thou me on! I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will, remember not past years. So long thy powr hath blest me, sure it still Will lead me on O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till the night is gone. And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile! Edited February 9, 2011 by Blackmarch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rameumptom Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I personally like "Stairway to Heaven". And since this is a sister leaving on her mission, it is even more apropos.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madriglace Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Called to Serve ... that does it for me. Used on all 5 of my folks mission farewells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
