Come Follow Me

??? Name That Hymn ???

See if you can guess this hymn.  Here are 4 clues:

  1. The lyrics were written by a woman who is also a novelist and poet.
  2. Both lyricist and composer collaborated on this hymn so the first phrase expresses an aspiration followed by a repetition of the phrase at the end of the verse expressing commitment.
  3. The composer was a professor of music at BYU and also wrote ‘Faith in Every Footstep’.
  4. This hymn perfectly describes how to follow the Lord and minister like the Savior did.

If you haven’t guessed yet, discover what the hymn is HERE. Also listen to the hymn as an organ solo HERE. Listen to this PODCAST to learn more.

Making Music

With every ‘Come Follow Me’ lesson is a suggested song to sing. Singing at home or listening to uplifting music is a powerful tool to invite the spirit, testify, and lift the mood of your home. From our current hymnal we read:

“Teach your children to love the hymns. Sing to them on the Sabbath, in home evening, during scripture study, at prayer time. Sing as you work, as you play, and as you travel together. Sing hymns as lullabies to build faith and testimony in your young ones.”

Watch & Listen

“I Will Be A Child of Peace” will be sung at the UNG Church Choir Festival
