What is the “tongue of angels”?

Thomas R. Valletta

Wrote Latter-day Saint scholar Robert L. Millet: “Several years ago I walked out of our stake center with two of my sons after viewing the satellite broadcast of a general priesthood meeting. … I overheard an elderly high priest in our stake say to the man with him, ‘Wasn’t that powerful! President Gordon B. Hinckley just spoke with the tongue of angels.’ … [Those born of the Spirit] convey not merely their own will and desires but the mind and will of Christ. Stated more simply, President Gordon B. Hinckley spoke with the tongue of angels. … He spoke what angels would have spoken. He delivered what Christ wanted delivered. It was as though angels had come and delivered the message” (Alive in Christ, 128–33).
