''This article is about LDS Church hymns in general, for the book, see Hymns of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (1985 book) '' Latter-day Saint hymns come from many sources and there have been numerous hymn books printed within the Latter Day Saint movement since its inception in 1830. The singing of hymns has always been an important part of the history and worship in the Latter Day Saint movement, including its largest component, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). This article specifically addresses hymns of the LDS Church. ==Historical overview== In July 1830, Joseph Smith, considered a prophet by LDS Church members, received a revelation from God for his wife, Emma, wherein she was directed to make a collection of hymns for the Church of Jesus Christ:
Due to persecutions and the constant uprooting of the church in those early days, Emma Smith was not able to fulfill this assignment for several years. However, in the mean time, other followers continued to write, arrange, and collect hymns. The first hymns of the LDS Church were published by William Wines Phelps in June, 1832 in Independence, Missouri. These appeared as text only (no music) in ''The Evening and the Morning Star'', the church's semimonthly newspaper. Many of these lyrics were written by Phelps, while others were borrowed from various Protestant sources. The first of these hymns published by Phelps was "What fair one is this". On July 20, 1833 a mob destroyed the church's printing office in Independence, Missouri and the publication of the ''Star'' was moved to Kirtland, Ohio – the headquarters of the church at that time. In December, 1834, ''The Evening and the Morning Star'' was replaced by a new publication: ''The Messenger and Advocate''. Phelps continued to write and collect hymn texts, with assistance from Frederick G. Williams and others. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints hymns」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
