GUEST,Allen in Oz What makes a good hymn? (150* d) RE: What makes a good hymn? 14 Aug 06


Good on you Haruo and Bo , I have enjoyed the thread. The points made re whether God needs praise is valid. The need ( if one exists )seems to come from people. Singing hymns may be an opiate albeit ( as Queen Victoria used to write in her diary) a lovely and harmless one.
I still maintain that they involve a lot of grovelling and that if God is all powerful then all His works were to Him a piece of cake and that no praise is really needed.

Still, the tunes are delightful and we all like singing them

Bless you
