By Jonathan David Whitcomb
Earlier this month*, I wrote four verses of a hymn for which I altered an old hymn tune (*I later revised the text: from August 18th-Aug 25, 2017). I consider the following to possibly be appropriate for use in an LDS sacrament meeting, perhaps by a ward choir.
We Remember the Savior
By witness of the Spirit
I know my Father lives
He sent a willing Savior
To witness of their love
That we may share that loveThe Light and Life descended
To make our hearts as one
He wants us to remember
The God who gave a Son
The well-beloved SonLet not your heart be troubled
The risen Savior lives
He gives us life eternal
When He shall come again
And we shall live againO God, Eternal Father,
We do remember Him
And witness we are willing
Our covenant fulfilling:
To remember Him
The music is an alteration of “O Love That Will Not Let Me Go.” The original version of the music was written by Albert Peace, not long after the original words were written (1882) by George Matheson. The copyright notice refers, of course, to the words. If anyone wants permission to use this hymn, feel free to contact me with the request; for noncommercial church or home use, however, feel free to use it with no need to contact me.

Press Forward, Feasting on the Word
This is a new choir piece, a short composition based mostly upon Book of Mormon scriptures, beginning with II Nephi 31:20 (check out this music, which was written in June of 2022 by Jonathan David Whitcomb of Murray, Utah).

Scientific Paper About Living Pterosaurs
My “Reports of Living Pterosaurs in the Southwest Pacific” was published in the Winter-2009 issue of the Creation Research Society Quarterly (Volume 45, #3). I now refer to the last four pages of this scientific paper, with links to images of those pages.
