What's your favorite Hymn and why?

[Northwestcoug]

come oh thou king of kings. Solid men’s hymn, and easy bass line to pick up.

come thou font of every blessing. When the volume goes to 11 with ‘HERE I RAISE MY EBENEZER’, gets me in the feels every time.

Further proof that no one in the grey building downtown is taking my advice on how to run things.

Does the new publication include a copy of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence?

Hymns, not scriptures.

Where were you when they were accepting submissions?

Where were you when they were accepting submissions?

Haha. I wonder if anyone submitted those set to music. It might take a few verses to fit it in.

Who hates 'Come thou Font of Every Blessing'?

Who hates 'Come thou Font of Every Blessing'?

My recollection was not that he hated it, but that putting it in the hymn book would get it sung too often and water down its effect.

Seeing as how I have sung it twice ever in my life. What would be considered too often?

There's a reason it was cut. Those reasons haven't changed.

You're not hastening my return to church choir with that attitude.

[Jeff Lebowski]

I am so confused.

You and me both.

I absolutely agree. I looked at doing it when I was the ward choir director, just using the old hymn book, and it is not a great hymn unless you have the talent that Mack has had both at BYU and in the Tabernacle. Maybe they were able to tone it down a bit for the new hymn book.
