The latest batch of 12 hymns released in September for “Hymns — For Home and Church” included a new sacrament hymn titled, “Help Us Remember," which surprised and delighted its author because she wrote it almost 30 years ago.
Wendy Lynn Platt has always loved to sing and loves music. “There’s something powerful in singing,” she said.
In the 1990s, Platt wanted to write hymns but didn’t have a deep musical background. She took her first attempt to her ward choir director, John G. Riley, who was a composer and talented organist from England. He had recently moved to her area of San Diego, California, and joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
