I’d remove How Great Thou Art since I hate the tune. Also, remove the one that is basically the word of wisdom put to song."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Drives me nuts when a chorister is on a mission to sing all of the hymns in the book. The lesser-known hymns are lesser known for a reason. They are not good!"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I don't have a dog in this fight anymore, but I'd suggest they keep A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief. I loved that hymn and hated that they rarely sang it in church.
They will never do it, but I'd commit to going to church for a whole month if they would get rid of Praise to the Man. I can't say enough bad things about that hymn. Hated every time they sang it in church.
I'd go to church for 2-weeks if they got rid of We Thank Thee of God for a Prophet. I was never a fan of any of the prophet-worship songs.
They should also keep in the hymnbook In Our Lovely Deseret because it captures the weirdness of Mormons so damn well. I recognize that they weirdness is my heritage as well.As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

That the children may live long
And be beautiful and strong,
Tea and coffee and tobacco they despise,
Drink no liquor, and they eat
But a very little meat;
They are seeking to be great and good and wise.As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

Originally posted by Flystripper View Postany guesses on which ones get the boot? does "If you could hie to Kolob" make it in?
I have no idea what will or will not make it in, but I still think "Come, Come Ye Saints" should be hymn #13 and "We Thank Thee O God for a Prophet" should be #196 (the pre 1980s hymn #s)
I love "Be Still My Soul", music by Jan Sibelius, Finland's greatest composer. It definitely needs to be kept
I think it's interesting they are dropping all patriotic music - what will we sing in July?Last edited by happyone; 06-18-2018, 05:04 PM.
I may be small, but I'm slow.
A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

As we greet with a kiss
And with joy we caress
All our loved ones that passed on before
For a couple of toe-the-line missionaries trying to sing that... yeah, you can incinerate that one.

One of the branches in Okinawa sang it all the time, and I just followed along in Japanese, without really paying attention to the lyrics. My companion and I just about died laughing when we decided to sing it in English to start off "companion inventory". The 2nd verse includes the following:
