Gethsemane<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This children’s song was popular in the old primary song book. It will be a welcome addition to Hymns\u2014For Home and Church:<\/em>\u00a0#1009.<\/p>\n

Jesus climbed the hill to the Garden still;
\nHis steps were heavy and slow.
\nLove and a prayer took Him there
\nTo the place only He could go.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

.<\/p>\n

God’s Gracious Love<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Day by day, God’s gracious love surrounds me
\nAs a balm to soothe my troubled heart.
\nCountless cares and worries that confound me
\nFade away or quietly depart …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

.<\/p>\n

Oh, the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Text: Samuel Trevor Francis, 1898; alt.
\nMusic: Stephen M. Jones, 2023<\/p>\n

Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus\u2014
\nVast, unmeasured, boundless, free\u2014
\nRolling as a mighty ocean
\nIn its fullness over me!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

New LDS Hymns not yet Published<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Here are the first two verses of “Believe and Come to Him”:<\/p>\n

verse 1
\nBelieve in God and come to him
\nAnd feast upon his word.
\nReceive the one the Father sent
\nBy making sacred covenant:
\nPartake the sacrament.
\nBelieve and come to him.<\/p>\n

verse 2
\nBehold his hands, his feet and side:
\nWe know the Savior lives.
\nBe eating, we in him abide,
\nAnd by the Holy Spirit Guide,
\nBehold the Savior lives.
\nWe know the Savior lives.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

.<\/p>\n

Amazing Grace revised by Whitcomb<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The second problem [with the traditional first verse of “Amazing Grace”] is this: What about the person who has strayed far from the teachings of Christ? When he feels like a wretch and decides to come back to church and mend his ways, what is the last thing he would need to hear as he walks into the chapel? It would be \u201ca wretch like me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

.<\/p>\n

LDS Anthem “Come to Christ”<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Press forward: Feast on the word of Christ
\nBehold you shall find eternal life.
\nHold to the rod: the word of God.
\nBehold the tree of the love of God.<\/p>\n

We like sheep had gone astray
\nTurning from the chosen way.
\nTurn again. Turn to God.
\nWhile the Shepherd seeks a stray,
\nFather, help us keep to the way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
