#35 "For the Strength of the Hills"

I've always liked this song and mentally have associated it with "Pioneer Day". However, when reading about the origin of this hymn, that the "mountains" mentioned in the hymn refer to the mountains of Switzerland, not Utah! That means even more to me because my great-grandmother immigrated to the USA from Switzerland. This hymn was originally in the 1950 hymnbook as a choir hymn, and singing it in the Monterey Park Ward Choir is where I remember learning the alto line.
