Some of the new songs may already be familiar. “Oh, How Great Is Our Joy” (“Placentero Nos Es Trabajar”) is a well-known hymn in the Spanish hymnal and beloved among Spanish-speaking Latter-day Saints. Now it will be offered in all languages.
“I’m Gonna Live So God Can Use Me” is a children’s song that was featured in the November 2022 Friend to Friend broadcast. The African American spiritual is sung by members of other Christian faiths and is in the style of “This Little Light of Mine,” which was added to the new hymnbook on Feb. 13.
“Still, Still, Still,” is a Christmas song that has been sung by The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. The Tabernacle Choir has sung others on the new list as well, while some of the new songs have been previously published in Church magazines or entered into Church music festivals.
