NeuroTypical Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 #'s 2 and 3 are regular sacrament hymns wherever I've been. The rest, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fether Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I recognize 2 and 3 but I couldn’t tell you how they go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrShorty Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 As a musician, I am familiar with all of those. Now Thank We All, Our God is probably less well known because it is often associated with Thanksgiving, and, since we only sing 2 or 3 of our 5 or so Thanksgiving hymns on one (maybe two) Sunday during the year, it is easy for one to "fall through the cracks". For the Strength of the Hills is one of those pioneer/Utah-centric hymns that will probably only be sung around the 24th of July or other occasional sacrament meeting where the local leader decide to commemorate the westward trek and establishment of Deseret in the western US. The others are sacrament hymns and will be chosen based on the whims of whoever chooses sacrament music. If they are already less well known, those in charge will tend to choose better known hymns.

Jamie123 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 The only one that looks familiar is 1. Though the others could be variants of hymns I know. One hymn I loved as a kid was "when a knight won his spurs in the stories of old". That's gone the same way as "onward christian soldiers" for being too warlike. Sing it now and everyone will be up in arms about cruelty to dragons. Grumble grumble grumble. Vort 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think #2 is underrated these days and could use being sung more often. But then, I'm a big fan of The Wint'ry Day Descending to Its Close, which I think most Saints outside of Utah have never even heard. Pity.

I've been trying to get them to sing Wintry Day for three years. But something keeps coming up. And being Texas, it's only appropriate for about three weeks out of the year.
