Hymn by Pres. Hinckley

My sister Marci recently sent me a hymn based on a poem from Pres Hinckley, that Janice Kapp Perry had written. I wasn't a big fan of her recent setting, but it made me remember that I had sung the words in some church choir 10-15 years ago. I don't recall the details, but I still had a copy of the music that I was able to dig out of a box. The copyright notice says that it may be copied for noncommercial use, so here it is: "The Gift of Life". Words by Gordon B. Hinckley, music by W. Herbert Klopfer.

(I scanned it in at a fairly high resolution, so the file is ~3 MB.)

I hope some of you musical types enjoy it.

Thanks for sharing, John. I copied the new song and was trying to like the setting (the words are great), so it will be nice to try another version.
