#320 "The Priesthood of Our Lord"

This new hymn is a unison men's hymn.  There is a notation at the bottom of the hymnbook that it can be sun without accompaniment as a round in unison by beginning every two measures.  However, the composer stated in Our Latter-day Hymns by Karen Lynn Davidson, that he felt a round would best be sung around a campfire and not in a sacrament meeting.
I have a handwritten note in my personal hymnal that this hymn could be combined with the children's song "The Priesthood is Restored"  (Children's Songbook, page 89).  That would be interesting to try someday.  This hymn would be effective when celebrating the restoration of the Aaronic Priesthood--around May 15th.
