THE ONLINE 1835 LATTER-DAY SAINTS' HYMNAL
| T here is much uncertainty about which tunes the Latter-day Saints
sang in Kirtland with their words-only hymnal. In the early 19th
century, lyrics and tunes were highly interchangeable. A given hymn
text would often be sung to different tunes by different
congregations. The hymnals of that era would sometimes include the
same hymn more than once, set to different tunes.
This list represents the most complete effort to date to recreate the 1835 LDS hymnal in its entirety. It is possible that some of the more obscure LDS lyrics listed here were never even sung in the Kirtland era. If that is the case, then this may the first time that some of these poems have ever been set to music. NOTES: The "Tune Probability" indicates the likelihood that these lyrics were actually sung to this tune by the Saints: Possible: The tune "fits", but there is no known historic connection between the words and music.Probable: Historic or textual clues suggest that the words and music were associated. Definite: The words and music have been found together in a non-LDS hymnbook from that era. However, many tunes have more than one "definite" reference in early hymnbooks. Definite LDS: There is a historic LDS reference to both the words and the tune. | |||
