One of the hallmarks of LDS hymns.

The more well known a hymn is, the more difficult it is to write an arrangement that people will like. They are used to the hymn the way they have always heard it and tend to resist any changes in harmonies or rhythms. “We Thank Thee, Oh God, For a Prophet” is like that. It evokes tender emotions in nearly everyone who hears it and sings it. Nevertheless, it deserves a place among the music performed by our ward choirs, so it must be attempted.
