Hymns have always been used to direct one’s thoughts heavenward, toward reverence, joy, and peace. The melodies, or tunes, used with LDS and other Christian hymns, come from numerous sources including folk tunes from Europe, Scandinavia, and early America.

Be Still My Soul is a beautiful collection of hymn melodies performed on traditional acoustic instruments including guitar, fiddle, dulcimer, mandolin, and others. The style is reminiscent of what the hymns may have sounded like 150 years ago when America was a much younger country. The result is a warm, easy sound that will gladden the heart and bring peace to the soul.
