This tune is "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean". The words were written about the problems the Saints had in Missouri with the mobs threatening them.
My favorite memory of this song is from 1986 when I directed the Baldy Mesa Branch's Roadshow called "The Wonderful World of Spices". We used this tune and changed the words for our finale about "Salt" being the hero of the day.
"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.
