An impeccable combined men's choir from BYU, directed by Mack Wilberg
and Ronald Staheli, graced the priesthood session with its
performances.
A single, sustained note underscored the opening lines of "I Know That My Redeemer Lives," symbolic, perhaps of the Spirit brooding over the meeting.
When singing "The Spirit of God," the choir began with a single melody line sung a cappella and built the harmony gradually, part by part, at last joined by the organ. One could see symbolized in the arrangement the history and progress of the gospel's restoration, with its small beginning and magnificent growth, reflected in the lines, "The knowledge and power of God are expanding; The veil o'er the earth is beginning to burst."
President Gordon B. Hinckley conducted the session, at which Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Seventy offered the invocation and Elder Richard E. Cook of the Seventy gave the benediction.
