#154 "Father, This Hour Has Been One of Joy"

This hymn was a new addition to the 1985 hymnal.  It is only one verse long, so this is another good one to schedule for a long sacrament meeting.  The message is "short and sweet".  The tune is a little tricky to play because of the accidentals.  I don't remember scheduling this hymn in the past 15 years because I don't think it's ever been taught to our congregation.  It might be nice for the Relief Society to teach it during their hymn practice time, or have the ward choir sing it once and then have the congregation repeat the hymn.  I like it, but I probably won't schedule it until it's been introduced to the congregation in some manner.
