Thread Name: YOUR Favorite Hymns Part 2
Subject: RE: YOUR Favorite Hymns Part 2
I'm looking for an Advent/Christmas song text by one Benjamin Rhodes, whose first line is "My heart and voice I raise", and whose tune is St. Elizabeth, also know by the names Ascalon, Crusaders' Hymn, Schönster Herr Jesu and St. Elisabeth. Anybody have it out there? I've got the Esperanto version in my hymnal, but I've never seen the English (and would like to). Since I got the translation from a British source (Esperanta Himnaro, by the late Leonard Gentle) I think it may perhaps be more common on yonder side of the ocean stream.

Several of you mentioned "How can I keep from singing" as a favorite. Since I just posted my Esperanto version of this Robert Lowry hymn in my online hymnal, I'm interested in finding out to what tune it is a favorite of yours. What do you sing it to? My hymnal gives Lowry's own tune, My Life Flows On, as the primary tune, and Sankey's Endless Song as an alternative. Any others?

Burke, I still haven't finished analysing the Lyngham info you sent me; however, I did look through my 20+ hymnals here, all those that have tune name indexes, anyhow, and not one of them has Lyngham listed for anything. Which doesn't surprise me, but does sadden me.
