Hymn #6... Redeemer of Israel

Redeemer of Israel,
Our only delight,
On whom for a blessing we call,
Our shadow by day
And our pillar by night,
Our King, our Deliv'rer, our all!
 
Wow. What a powerful song. I know that Jesus Christ is our Redeemer. He is the God of Israel, our King, and I know that He has delivered us from pain and torment through His Atonement. 

I love this hymn. The harmony is great:)

Hymn # 5...High on the Mountain Top

  For there we shall be taught 
The law that will go forth

I love this hymn of rejoicing. The organ during church services brings the message of joy to life. The LDS General Conference is one of the many places we can be taught the Lord's laws for us today. I'm so grateful for the inspired messages and the ever-attentive Spirit that dwells in the Conference.

That he on Zion's hill
Truth's standard would unfold!

Those of the LDS faith understand that the Second Coming is near; that Christ our Savior will come again to the Earth to cleanse and purify the wickedness that has encompassed it. Those who have done all that we could and are still trying and keeping His commandments need not fear; "Truth's standard" will be here to stay.

I love music. There is a power and emotion that words cannot express.
