New hymn, written in a small inn far from home, teaches ‘The Power of the Holy Ghost’

The new hymn “The Power of the Holy Ghost,” released in the latest batch of hymns in “Hymns for Home and Church” of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, began in a small inn far away from Delys Waite Snyder’s home in Salem, Utah.

In 2009, Snyder and her husband, Phil Snyder — who were both Brigham Young University professors of English at the time — visited the Cotswolds in England after a conference. Their plans to walk through the scenic hills and small villages ended when he became quite ill.

While her husband recovered, Delys Snyder sat by his bedside and read from the small Book of Mormon she had placed in her pack.
