Hymn – 003 Now Let Us Rejoice
This hymn commentary is a help prepared for those who might find it interesting to read an explanation of the text of some of our beloved hymns. The text for this hymn came from lds.org. Specifically, it came from this list of hymns.
How many hymns finally end up in this series will depend on whether this is something you find useful. Please leave a comment below and let me know what you think.
Well I for one am really enjoying these 🙂 Please, please do all of the Hymns so that we may all be spiritually fed and enlightened to these marvelous hymns 😀
So far I have written explanations for about 86 of the hymns. At one per week I’ll be posting these for a very long time to come. LOL
I’m glad you have enjoyed what you have read so far.
It is amazing to me that William W. Phelps wrote such great hymns for the church then turned against the church and then repented and came back to the church. You may want to also consider writing about the authors of these hymns – as their lives and experiences and why they wrote these hymns is just as interesting as the hymns themselves.
Thanks for the suggestion David. One of the blessings of writing on such topics is that there seems to be a never-ending supply of things to write about. I certainly won’t get bored from having nothing to talk about. LOL
