Interesting notes above about not singing religious songs.

Back when I was a teenager, practicing in my Mum's front room. Her friend had called for a cuppa and they could hear me through from the kitchen. I was learning a traditional song, "Our Captain Cried All Hands."

My Mum's friend, being deeply religious, told my Mum that I shouldn't put non religious words to hymn tunes. My Mum mentioned this to me, and I told her that "He who would valiant be" was written after the original sea faring song to the same tune.

Mum told her friend this, and was told "Once God has taken a tune, it is his for ever more."

So, perhaps we shouldn't wonder what is up with God these days, as there are always those to describe his answers eh?
