Subject: RE: Praise Songs vs. Hymns
Joe, thank you for that post about "In Christ Alone". I first met it in full (I think I had heard it on "Songs of Praise", minus V2) at the funeral of a recent pupil, who had died, aged 11, in a road accident. I like the tune. I liked verse one. I liked being able to sing out, which I miss at Friends. And then I spotted what lay ahead. So what had been quite a loud contribution suddenly fell silent. Nothing could have been less appropriate in that context.

I've seen a lot of debate on another site with a religious theme about it, and there no-one seems to like it. Nor do they know that revision had been prevented.
