“An Angel from on High, the Long, Long Silence Broke”
Gordon B. Hinckley October 1979 Saturday Morning Session
We often sing in our congregations a favorite hymn—the words were written well over a century ago by Parley P. Pratt (see Hymns, no. 224). They represent his declaration of the miraculous coming forth of a remarkable book. Exactly 150 years ago this fall that book was first being set in type and run on a press in Palmyra, New York.
