Christmas Devotional Compilation
I put together a 22 minute Christmas Devotional Compilation with Quotes from Prophets and Apostles. There is something special about combining these uplifting quotes with sacred Christmas music!
Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
This hymn has beautiful, heartfelt lyrics and really speaks to the journey the Jaredites had and really every one of our journeys through life.
Music, scripture & quotes for the story of Ether 1-5, Book of Mormon, Come Follow Me
This video was inspired by the Come Follow Me Scripture Study Manual for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and more specifically, the lesson “Rend That Veil of Unbelief” (Nov.11-17, 2024). This lesson studies Ether 1-5 in the Book of Mormon.
I Believe in Christ BOM
It was in that talk (In his April 1972 general conference address) that my father first read in public the words he had written of the hymn: “I Believe in Christ.” His talk was entitled The Testimony of Jesus. (At the time he was not a member of the quorum of the 12 apostles, he was serving in the first council of the 70). But shortly after that general conference talk, (later that year) he was called to the apostleship.
More Holiness Give Me
Hello! More Holiness Give Me is a hymn by Philip Paul Bliss, 1838–1876. The Come Follow Me lesson (Oct 21-27) entitled “There Could Not Be a Happier People” lists “More Holiness Give Me” as a suggested song to correlate well
This is My Beloved Son
This is My Beloved Son is a song from the LDS Children’s Songbook by (Words) Marvin K. Gardner, b. 1952 and (Music) Vanja Y. Watkins, b. 1938. Each verse talks about a different setting and point in time in which God the Father introduces his Son Jesus Christ, calling him “Beloved”. 3 Nephi chapter 11 contains the account of the voice of the Father testifying of his Son and Jesus Christ appearing to the people in the Americas after his resurrection.
How Gentle God’s Commands
How Gentle God’s Commands is an old Christian Hymn written by Text: Philip Doddridge and Music: Hans Georg Nägeli.
Philip Doddridge (1702-1751) was an English Nonconformist (specifically, Congregationalist) minister, educator, and hymnwriter. Doddridge was known for ending his sermons with newly crafted hymns as summaries of the lessons, but his hymns were not published during his lifetime. The first posthumous edition contained 370 hymns.
Hans Georg Nägeli (26 May 1773 – 26 December 1836) was a composer and music publisher. Nägeli was born in Wetzikon, Switzerland. He studied under his father as a child and then opened a private music shop and publishing firm in the 1790s.
Disciple of Christ by Nik Day
Hello! “Disciple of Christ” is a song by Nik Day. It is the youth theme song this year and I chose it for this week’s Come Follow Me lesson entitled, “Preserved by His Marvelous Power”. This arrangement is a collaboration with my triplet nephews on my husband’s side! Nathan, Josh and Zack did such a great job. It was a super fun project to work on with them. They had sung it in Church recently so I told them we should record it together. Brad’s sister, Carrie, had written the harmony part they sang together and I added my little spin on it. I am so happy with how it turned out and how well it fits into our Come Follow Me lesson.
How Great the Wisdom and the Love – Vocal Solo
Text by Eliza R. Snow: In the midst of the Missouri persecutions in the late 1830s, Joseph Smith called on Eliza to write on behalf of her people and in their defense.4 She accepted the challenge, and by the 1850s, she became known as “Zion’s Poetess.” She wrote more than 500 poems in which she chronicled the history and beliefs of the Saints. Many of her poems became beloved hymns and were sung around pioneer campfires, in meeting rooms, and in temples. (source)
Experiment Upon His Word
27 But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words.
28 Now, we will compare the word unto a seed. Now, if ye give place, that a seed may be planted in your heart, behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed, if ye do not cast it out by your unbelief, that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord, behold, it will begin to swell within your breasts; and when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to say within yourselves—It must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding, yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me.
