LDS Daily A daily dose of what matters most
Elder Jay E. Jensen once said “Hymns play an essential role in spirituality, revelation, and conversion.” Since Emma Smith released the first LDS hymnal in 1835 to today, Latter-day Saints around the world have found great joy in worshiping through music. Over time, some hymns have become more prominent than others. Classics such as “The Spirit of God,” “I am a Child of God,” and “I Need Thee Every Hour” are known worldwide.
However, there are some hidden gems in our hymnal that are too beautiful not to know about. Here are a few we came up with. Let us know your favorite “rare” hymn in the comments below.
Nearer, Dear Savior, to Thee – Hymn #99
Come, Ye Disconsolate – Hymn #115
Lean on My Ample Arm – Hymn #120
Our favorite lyric:
Lean on my ample arm,
O thou depressed!
And I will bid the storm
Cease in thy breast.
Whate’er thy lot may be
On life’s complaining sea,
If thou wilt come to me,
Thou shalt have rest.
If thou wilt come to me,
Thou shalt have rest.
Does the Journey Seem Long? – Hymn #127
Prayer Is the Soul’s Sincere Desire – Hymn #145
Our favorite lyric:
Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear,
The upward glancing of an eye
When none but God is near.
