This is a great hymn. I remember learning a choir version of it years ago in the old Monterey Park Ward. "There they were in the upper chamber, Jesus and his disciples. There to eat the supper of the passover e'er the end should come. Then Jesus looked in their faces and unto them He spake..." and then it would go into the chorus, which ends up being the hymn we have in the 1985 hymnal.
This hymn is also included in the current Children's Songbook along with the American Sign Language signs for the text.
This is a favorite of the congregation, the choir, and the primary children. It is already a classic!
"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.
