I had gotten to know his idiosyncrasies so well that when I met him, I could tell at a glance if he was melancholic, and I discovered that I could shake him by giving him a new song to work on.

The 1907 LDS Church hymnal in Spanish contained a similar song, “Hay un Mundo Feliz Más Allá”, and was put to the same melody, modified by adding to all parts the notes of the first traditional response in the call and answer section of the chorus. This hymn was copied with permission from Himnos Evangélicos of the American Tract Society. [4] [5] During the Mexican Revolution, Andrés C. Gonzalez, one of the first missionaries of the LDS Church in Mexico, publicly sang “Hay un mundo feliz más allá” and was arrested for “stealing” the song of the Protestants.

Why wouldn`t that make a good anthem? “Maybe it would,” he said indifferently. As I turned to my desk, I wrote the lyrics to the anthem as quickly as I could. I gave the words to Webster.

As he read, his eyes lit up and he approached the desk and began to write the notes. He picked up his violin, played the melody, and then wrote the notes of the chorus. It had been no more than thirty minutes since I had picked up my pen to write the lyrics before two friends sang the anthem with Webster and me. —Sanford Fillmore Bennett (1836–1898)[2] 3 To our generous Father above, we will honor for the glorious gift of His love and the blessings that sanctify our days.
