President Gordon B. Hinckley

Our dear Prophet President Gordon B. Hinckley passed away today at 7 p.m. I have no need to say anything profound because his life was testimony enough of what a great man he was. We will miss him dearly!

**I thought I'd post the words to one of my favorite hymns**

1. We thank thee, O God, for a Prophet
   To guide us in these latter days;
   We thank thee for sending the Gospel
   To lighten our minds with its rays;
   We thank thee for every blessing
   Bestowed by thy bounteous hand;
   We feel it a pleasure to serve thee,
   And love to obey thy commands.

2. When dark clouds of trouble hand o'er us,
   And threaten our peace to destroy,
   There is Hope smiling brightly before us,
   And we know that deliv'rance is nigh;
   We doubt not the Lord nor his goodness,
   We've proved him in days that are past;
   The wicked who fight against Zion
   Will surely be smitten at last.

3. We'll sing of his goodness and mercy;
   We'll praise him by day and by night;
   Rejoice in his glorious Gospel,
   And bask in its life-giving light;
   Thus on to eternal perfection
   The honest and faithful will go;
   While they who reject this glad message,
   Shall never such happiness know.

**You can listen to the Paul Harvey commentary on President Hinckely my mom was talking about, here. It's near the beginning, short and sweet.
