Top 10 LDS Hymns

This week we chose to do our list based on our favorite LDS hymns with one exception; Amazing Grace. Sundy insisted we put it on the list even though it is not a LDS hymn. We both grew up with lots of music in our homes and our home is no exception. Music brings the Spirit into our home and makes it peaceful and a place of learning both temporally and spiritually. We are so grateful for the examples our parents set in making music a big part of our lives.


1. O My Father - Dad McCallister used to sing this song to his children as he rocked them to sleep in the rocking chair!
2. How Great Thou Art - Scott’s favorite!
3. I Need Thee Every Hour - When Sundy was struggling with depression, this song would often come to her mind. It helped her get through some of the tough days.
4. I Know That My Redeemer Lives - What a great song to sing when wanting to share a personal testimony! We DO know that our Redeemer Lives!
5. Amazing Grace - Sundy wants this one sung at her funeral by an African-American “born-again” choir - you know the type?!
6. Come, Come Ye Saints - The ultimate LDS hymn! It makes us proud of our heritage!
7. Home Can Be a Heaven On Earth - Scott picked this one.
8. Love At Home - Sundy created an ac capella arrangement of this song when she was in college.
9. There Is Sunshine In My Soul - Scott says this song is about Sundy since her nickname is Sunshine!
10. Lord, I Would Follow Thee - Lori Haskin had to sing this song for church recently. When she asked Sundy for some help with the arrangement, they looked closely at the simple, but profound words, and realized what a gem this song was! Especially the 2nd verse!
