#263 "Go Forth with Faith"

This hymn is new to the 1985 edition of the hymnbook.  I loved reading in Karen Lynn Davidson's book, Our Latter-day Hymns,  about the story behind this hymn.  It was originally written by the author and composer for their own son's missionary farewell.  The original title was "Go Forth, My Son".  It would be very effective to change the hymn's words for a missionary farewell and sing "Go Forth, My Son".  I like the message and tune of this hymn.  I would use this in sacrament meeting, as well as for a choir or soloist.
