We have a few in our hymnals. For example: #200 - Christ the Lord Is Risen Today...Charles Wesley

Wanna explain T.P. how it is that exactly 190 of the 358 hymns in the Mormon hymnal [53%] were written by non-Mormons -- most of whom are Christians deemed apostates by your leaders (including Charles Wesley)?

So which is it? Your "first vision" scripture -- Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith History vv. 18-19 claimed "all" from the various "sects" were "corrupt." Was Charles Wesley and the other Christian hymn writers in the Mormon hymnal "corrupt" as your "scripture" says and "apostate" as your doctrine states...or not?

Or does the Mormon church just grab the lyrics & tunes of Gentile heretical "apostates" willy-nilly and import them into your hymnal never mind what they believe?

Because, unlike others, Mormons are willing to acknowledge the good in others? We accept truth even if it comes from an imperfect source.
