Another interesting song in the hymnal is #242, If You Could Hie to Kolob.

I just think it's very telling in a comparison with Christian congregation hymnbooks there are so many unChrist/God hymns....and I can't find ANY praise hymns in my several hymnbooks lauding any mortal man.

In my Methodist faith, as I mentioned in a post on another Mormon thread, we only sing hymns to God--be it the father (And Now, Oh Father, Mindful of the Love), the son (He Is So Precious to Me), the holy ghost (Spirit of God, Descend Upon My Heart), or the entire Trinity (Praise Ye the Triune God; O Perfect Love). We sing hymns to no one else. This is most likely the case with every other Protestant denomination.
