Mama Pierce sings the Doxology and states, "most of them aren't Mormon so they won't know this hymn"

Uh, it's only a staple of Protestant services.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

These words were written in 1674 by Thomas Ken[4] as the final verse of two hymns, "Awake, my soul, and with the sun"[5] and "Glory to thee, my God, this night,"[6] intended for morning and evening worship at Winchester College

Sorry Mormons this came way before JS's time.

When the profit speaks the thinking stops. Here is another living example of proof of that statement. Wouldn't know a hymn for a hernia. Another MORON. What do you expect?

Funny, because I was always told that we didn't sing "that" song due to the reference to the Trinity ("Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost").

Trinity was a very "bad" word in my Mormon life. Other evils, included crucifixes, crosses, and Reformation writers. Or any other theologians/philosophers than Mormon ones.

It's been in the hymn book since 1985 (hymn number 242). Mormons have NEVER known what the doxology is, nor do I think that most people knows what it means or refers to (I don't). If you call it that, you will get blank stares. It's good to sing at the end of sacrament because everyone wants the hell out.

Wouldn't there be credit given to the musician at the bottom of the page? With a date long before Mormonism began?

Totally weird. I never heard the Doxology during the 7 years I was a mormon. But during the 20 years I was an Episcopalian, we sang the Doxology EVERY Sunday when they brought the collection plates up to the altar. I thought ONLY non-mormons knew the hymn.

I thought that was totally weird, as I thought the mention of the Trinity would have discouraged Mormons from singing that hymn. I did leave an anon comment saying that most of her guests had probably grown up singing that hymn in their church services.

Next, some mormon will claim only mormon children sing "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam".
