A Favorite Hymn
Brightly Beams Our Father’s Mercy has long been a favorite hymn of mine, but I couldn’t find an arrangement that really does it justice. It’s not as powerful to me when a large group sings it. I was listening to the newest podcast at Mormon Transition and heard what I’ve been looking for all this time!
You can listen to a live amateur recording on YouTube.
But I think the version you can buy on iTunes is much better (the song is called Let the Lower Lights Be Burning). I just bought the whole album, and look forward to working it into my Sunday listening rotation.
After reading the suggestions found in the comments on my post on LDS Hymns, I started listening to It Is Well With My Soul and Palmetto. Thank you for introducing me to these beautiful pieces of music, they bring me a lot of peace.
I'm a farm-raised almost-crunchy stroller-pushing picture-taking lifestyle-blog-writing gastronomy-obsessed divine-seeking thrift-store-combing cheese-inhaling pavement-pounding laughter-sprinkling lover of individuality and taking chances.
It Is Well With My Soul is one of my favorites – Happy Easter to your beautiful family!

1I love Moleni Brothers rendition of Brightly Beams our Fathers Mercy. Lara was my husbands missionary comp so maybe that’s why we love it so.

Now I want both! I like the one by Sabre Rattlers because it’s a duet, but it’s so lovely with all of the harmonies in a group.
