(BTW, I just sang it and my cats came running over to see what was wrong with me, LOL! I got bit another time I tried to sing a hymn. *Sigh* Make a joyful "noise", I guess.)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04503743050696171950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-40323950497535227332009-10-23T17:19:25.017-05:002009-10-23T17:19:25.017-05:00Just sang it to a parishioner who is not faring we...Just sang it to a parishioner who is not faring well, Cha, and may be drawing near the end of earthly pilgrimage.William Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383850332591975790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-64334804607523403952009-10-23T16:17:44.144-05:002009-10-23T16:17:44.144-05:00Do you know that whenever you post the text to a w...Do you know that whenever you post the text to a wonderful hymn, I stop and take a minute to sing it - and the other verses, too, if I know them from memory.<br /><br />Thanks for this - for all of them.Chahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671159425647448277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-89621021135464169322009-10-23T15:22:38.019-05:002009-10-23T15:22:38.019-05:00I memorized this as my confirmation hymn back in 1...I memorized this as my confirmation hymn back in 1961. Also memorized many other hymns during my Lutheran school days. Now many hymns have been slightly reworded (and I really don't always see the reasoning)so that we who learned them from TLH have to adjust and dare not sing along without referring closely to the new hymn books. A minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless for someone who resists change.Donnanoreply@blogger.com
