Hymns


It seems like for some reason lately I've had several conversations with people revolving around the hymnbook of the church. It's always interesting to try and speculate why a hymn was added or omitted from the 1985 edition. I know this topic may be boring to some, but it was something that I really wondered about. I am one who likes to stick to the rules, sing only hymns in sacrament meeting...you know, that kind of thing. So to think that if a song wasn't included in the 1985 edition, there may have been something "not quite doctrinal" about it drove me crazy. Especially if there were ones that I loved.
So here is my "something new" that I discovered today.
LDS Radio - Conversation with Michael Moody,who served as the Chairman of the Church Music Committee for 25 years.
I know it is kind of long, but it is a very good "conversation". Really brings insight into the hymns of the church and tells some really cool stories.
Enjoy!
