Hear Hymn – The Lord’s My Shepherd A Scripture for Life and Death As I write, my heart is with my own family. My sister-in-law and my brother are grieving the loss of her sister, who passed away just yesterday. Their sorrow is fresh, and I find myself turning again to words that have comforted countless mourners across the centuries. If there is a single scripture that seems to appear in nearly every film or television scene of a funeral, it is Psalm 23. The moment is almost familiar: mourners gathered, heads bowed, and the words spoken in the timeless cadence of the King James Bible. It has become almost a cultural shorthand for grief, but rightly so. Psalm 23 may be one of the most read and recited passages in all of scripture. It speaks to the living as well as the dying, offering assurance of God’s presence in every valley. Here it is in full, from the King James Version: Psalm 23 (KJV) 1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. These verses hold together both sides of human experience: the still waters of peace and the shadow of death, the paths of righteousness and the presence of enemies. In every setting, the Good Shepherd remains close. https://youtu.be/mGoxVDUlH7E?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss A Psalm That Has Comforted Generations Few passages of scripture are as beloved or as widely recognized as Psalm 23. Its opening words—“The Lord is my shepherd”—have carried peace to worshipers for centuries. Set to song in countless traditions, this psalm has been both a private prayer and a public hymn of faith. In The Lord’s My Shepherd, the words of Psalm 23 are joined to a tune of quiet assurance, creating a hymn that links seventeenth-century Scotland with modern worshipers across the world. Origins in the Scottish Psalter (1650) The text of this hymn comes from the Scottish Psalter of 1650, a landmark collection that sought to translate the psalms faithfully from Hebrew while making them singable in English. Accuracy mattered more than poetic flourish, yet the translators still needed to shape the language into rhyming, metrical lines. Sometimes that required unusual word order. For instance, verse 3 of this hymn reads “me comfort still” instead of the more familiar “still comfort me,” chosen to rhyme with the previous phrase “fear no ill.” These adjustments kept the psalms close to their original meaning without layering on extra commentary. The result was a text that is direct, spare, and faithful—a psalm in song form, ready for congregational voices. What Is the Scottish Psalter? The Scottish Psalter of 1650 is a collection of the 150 Biblical Psalms translated into metrical, rhyming English verse for congregational singing. It was the result of a prolonged process of revision initiated by the Westminster Assembly and refined by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, with the goal of aligning the text as closely as possible to the original Hebrew. Shaftesbury Sq RPC+14The 1650 Psalter+14gracechapeltn.com+14 In essence: the Scottish Psalter is a historically rooted, singable version of the Psalms designed for fidelity to the Bible and ease of corporate worship—and it continues to be valued across centuries for both its accuracy and accessibility.   James Leith Macbeth Bain and World War I (1915) Two and a half centuries later, as World War I spread across Europe, Scottish minister and composer James Leith Macbeth Bain turned again to Psalm 23. Having grown up singing from the Scottish Psalter, he found its message of calm and safety especially poignant in a time of conflict and suffering. In 1915, Bain composed a new melody for the familiar words. The tune, soon known as Brother James’s Air, matched the psalm’s gentle assurance with flowing, peaceful lines. It offered comfort in an age shadowed by loss and uncertainty. This tune has since carried the words of Psalm 23 into new generations, reminding listeners of divine guidance even in the darkest valleys. A New Home in Hymns—For Home and Church The Lord’s My Shepherd now appears for the first time in a Church-published hymnal, Hymns—For Home and Church. Its inclusion signals both the enduring strength of Psalm 23 and the lasting value of Bain’s musical setting. Doctrinal Themes in the Text The hymn teaches eternal truths with clarity: Christ as the Good Shepherd. Like the sheep of Psalm 23, we are led, protected, and gathered by Him (John 10:14). God’s divine plan. The Shepherd’s

For Latter-day Saints, the temple is the pinnacle experience on the “Covenant Path”, or road to salvation in the Celestial Kingdom. Dozens of new temples are being announced each year, and members around the world are gaining access to these holy structures, and yet a shroud of secrecy still hangs over the details of the ceremonies that occur therein. The oft heard idiom repeated whenever questions are posed about the temple is that it is “sacred, not secret.” This stigma has unfortunately led to many members feeling confusion, discomfort, lack of connection, or even not being adequately prepared to make the covenants they are there to make, as they were not aware of the terms of the covenants beforehand. We can do more to prepare our members for the temple experience, and we can start by talking about it. In this book, Derek Hutchins endeavors to clearly prepare readers for and walk them through temple ceremonies, step by step, without using direct quotes from temple ceremonies and avoiding those few key words which members covenant not to reveal. The other covenants of salvation are explored as well, for example many male church members make the Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood — but do they truly understand what they have committed to do? The book also delves into the history of temple ordinances and how they have evolved over time, helping those preparing to go through the temple understand the ancient context from which these ceremonies were born. With this unofficial temple preparation text, Latter-day Saints can learn what to expect within temple walls and build a foundation of temple service that will last the rest of their lives — and beyond.

He also said the church was not open to changing the name because the church has 1 congregation in Fairview and 10 in McKinney.
