Emma Smith oversaw the compilation of the first Mormon hymnal in 1835 and then prepared a second hymnal in 1841. This article contextualises and discusses Smith's significant assignment, and considers how a woman's hymn selections influenced early Mormonism. It also considers what Smith's hymnals reveal about her own life story and what her life story reveals about her hymn selections. While Smith's first hymnal highlights the emphasis she placed on immediately establishing a city of Zion in preparation for the millennial reign of a triumphal Christ, her second hymnal underscores the need to develop and foster a personal relationship with a merciful Saviour. Smith's 1835 hymnal emphasises being a Zion people immediately, whereas her 1841 hymnal, compiled in the context of intense personal and collective trials and religious persecution, highlights the importance of striving to become a more Zion-like people over time. The different doctrinal emphases reflects their respective Mormon cultures at the time of compilation, and captures how the church responded to and grappled with its failure to establish Zion immediately. As a compiler of hymns, Smith clearly plays a significant role in Mormon history, while also demonstrating how women could impact their particular religious communities.

女性的神圣空间：艾玛·黑尔·史密斯神学中的赞美诗

艾玛·史密斯 (Emma Smith) 于 1835 年监督了第一部摩门教赞美诗的汇编，然后在 1841 年准备了第二部赞美诗。本文将介绍和讨论史密斯的重要任务，并考虑女性的赞美诗选择如何影响早期的摩门教。它还考虑了史密斯的赞美诗揭示了她自己的人生故事以及她的人生故事揭示了她的赞美诗选择。虽然史密斯的第一首赞美诗强调了她立即建立锡安城以准备凯旋基督的千年统治的重点，但她的第二首赞美诗强调需要发展和培养与仁慈的救主的个人关系。史密斯 1835 年的赞美诗强调立即成为锡安人，而她 1841 年的赞美诗，在激烈的个人和集体审判以及宗教迫害的背景下编纂而成，强调了随着时间的推移努力成为更像锡安人民的重要性。不同的教义重点反映了他们在编纂时各自的摩门教文化，并捕捉到了教会如何回应和应对其未能立即建立锡安。作为赞美诗的编纂者，史密斯显然在摩门教历史中扮演着重要角色，同时也展示了女性如何影响她们特定的宗教社区。
