#240 "Know This, That Every Soul Is Free"

The notes at the bottom of the hymn mention that it was included in the first LDS hymnbook in 1835.  However, in the 1927 hymnal, the tune was changed because it wasn't sung very often.  The same thing happened in the 1950 hymnbook.  For the 1985 hymnbook committee, another tune change was made because it still wasn't widely known or sung.  I'm afraid that is still the case.  The words and message are wonderful, but no one seems to sing it.  I'm not sure why.  Perhaps it is just unfamiliar to the general congregation so it isn't chosen for sacrament meeting.  Maybe if the Mormon Tabernacle Choir recorded a version of it, it would become more popular.
