"SING * PLAY * LOVE"...My thoughts and memories as I play one hymn each day from the hymnbook of "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" during 2012.

#46 "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken"
I enjoyed the tune to this hymn. It was written by Franz Joseph Haydn so it has a nice classical feel to it. The footnote states that it was included in the first LDS hymnbook in 1835. Notes from Davidson's book points out that there were originally ten short verses. This hymn was a little tricky for me, but I like it. Too bad it isn't sung much in our sacrament meetings.
