<pre>Hymn 285
P.M.
1. Hail the blest morn, when the great Mediator,
Down from the regions of glory descends;
Shepherds, go worship the babe in the manger,
Lo, for his guard, the bright angels attends.

Chorus.
Brighest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness, and led us thine aid,
Star in the east, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer was laid.

2. Cold on his cradle the dew drops are shining;
Low lies his bed with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore him, in slumbers reclining,
Wise men and shepherds before him do fall.

3. Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion,
Odors of Eden, and offerings divine,
Gems from the mountains, and pearls from the ocean;
Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine.

4. Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gold we his favor secure;
Richer by far is the heart's adoration;
Dearer to God are the pray'rs of the poor.</pre>

Hymn 103 
P.M. 
JOSEPH SMITH. 
1. Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah. 
Jesus' anointed, "that Prophet and Seer," 
Blessed to open the last dispensation; 
Kings shall extol him, and nations revere.

CHORUS. 
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven, 
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain, 
Mingling with God's he can plan for his brethren, 
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

2. Praise to his mem'ry, he died as a martyr; 
Honored and blest is his ever great name; 
Long shall his blood, which was shed by assassins, 
Stain Illinois<ref>It should be noted that newer hymnals have changed ''stain Illinois'' to ''plead unto heaven''. Also, some of the sheet music above uses ''stand as a witness'' instead.</ref>, while the earth lauds his fame. 
Hail to the Prophet, &c.

3. Great is his glory, and endless his priesthood, 
Ever and ever the keys he will hold; 
Faithful and true, he will enter his kingdom, 
Crowned in the midst of the prophets of old. 
Hail to the Prophet, &c.

4. Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven; 
Earth must atone for the blood of that man! 
Wake up the world for the conflict of justice, 
Millions shall know "brother Joseph" again. 
Hail to the Prophet, &c.

72.8.96.13:

An enjoyable way to pass the time during a very long meeting, is to get the hymnal and read the titles of each song, then follow it with "in the bathtub."

Discuss.

Another thing that can follow hymns is "in the outhouse." Perhaps a page should be dedicated to these things. Anyone know what the term is? [[User:Swampthings|Swampthings]] 12:13, 4 April 2007 (MDT)

==History==
Traditionally, in the early days of hymns, lyrics and tunes were separate. One would pick a set of lyrics and pick a tune to match its poetic meter. Today, however, each set of lyrics is usually sung to a certain tune (sometimes more than one, but still a rather small amount of tunes).

HymnWiki:Editing Conventions

2007-04-06T21:36:11Z

72.8.96.13:

These editing conventions are not absolute, for the most part. Please follow them unless you have a good reason not to do so.

==Hymnists==
* Do not make composer/poet pages and categories - these all go under one category: Hymnists.
* In hymnist articles, make sure to list both poetic works and musical compositions, as well as arrangements and adaptations.
* If known, put the birth and death years in parenthesis after a hymnist's name (for the article title): i.e. [[Robert Robinson (1735 - 1790)]] instead of Robert Robinson, as there may be several hymnists named Robert Robinson. If the years are unknown, try some other identifier in parentheses.

==Music and Lyric Dating==
* When saying who wrote the tune/lyrics, in an article, put the hymnist's birth and death years, if known, in parenthesis; put the date the song was written or first published afterward, as in the following example: [[Robert Robinson (1735 - 1790)]], 1758

==Compilations==
* Please do not make categories for individual compilations. The reason for this is simple: some songs are included in thousands of hymnals. Please just make articles for the compilations and list the songs in it. Link the article for a compilation to the proper compilation categories.

==Misc.==
* List the meter for hymns (note if they differ from tune to tune, as the lyrics are sometimes repeated, depending on the tune); meters should be listed in the categories for the hymn.
* List tune names if known, and what other songs they are used with (perhaps even in their own article).
* To avoid obscurity, call writers of the hymn-lyrics poets, except when categorizing them (then call them hymnists).
