I first heard this melody at a BYU Church Music Workshop that I attended years ago in Provo, Utah. The song was "Thy Word is Like a Garden, Lord" and the Workshop Choir learned it for their concert. Someday I want to use that arrangement with the words to this hymn. (I need to learn to play the special arrangement first!)
This is such a wonderful match of text and tune. I really want to have the youth in my ward learn this and love it as I do!
The "Thy Word is Like a Garden, Lord" arrangement we used was by Benjamin Harlan by Shawnee Press, #A-6869.
"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.
