I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I love my Church and my Ward is the sweetest Ward! The Spirit is so strong. I am grateful to Heavenly Father for sending His Son to die for me.
P.S. Many of the same songs found in LDS hymn book are also found in other denominations’ hymn books. For example, “O God, Our Help in Ages Past”, “Sweet Hour of Prayer” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic” (which we always sing around July 4th); our church is very patriotic.
Here’s a song from our hymn book “We’re Not Ashamed to Own Our Lord”:
Verse 1: “We’re not ashamed to own our Lord
And worship him on earth.
We love to learn his holy word
And know what souls are worth.
Verse 2: “When Jesus comes in burning flame
to recompense the just,
The world will know the only name
In which the Saints can trust.
Verse 3: “When he comes down from heav’n to earth
With all his holy band,
Before creation’s second birth,
We hope with him to stand.
Verse 4: “He then will give us a new name.
With robes of righteousness,
And, in the New Jerusalem, Eternal happiness.”
What’s wrong with that song, pray tell?
Here’s another one. “Let the Holy Spirit Guide” - here are the words:
Verse 1: “Let the Holy Spirit guide;
Let him teach us what is true
He will testify of Christ,
Light our minds with heaven’s view.
Verse 2: “Let the Holy Spirit guard.
Let his whisper govern choice.
He will lead us safely home
If we listen to his voice.
Verse 3: “Let the Spirit heal our hearts
Thru his quiet, gentle pow’r.
May we purify our lives
To receive him hour by hour.”
Hallelujah!!
