The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...

The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

"Stricken, smitten, and afflicted,
See Him dying on the tree!
'Tis the Christ by man rejected;
Yes, my soul, 'tis He! 'tis He!
'Tis the long-expected Prophet,
David's Son, yet David's Lord;
Proofs I see sufficient of it:
'Tis the true and faithful Word."

[SuziQ]

Wuz growin' like crazy...

*whines* SHUT UUUPPP!!

[msdrby]

Nope, not the same song.

[JenB]

Interesting.... my cultural assumptions are being shaken...

[HairOfTheDog]

This is a pretty cool shot. You can see how little snow there is on the surrounding hills. They should still be white this time of year.

[Rose in RoseBear]

How about "Get Away, Jordan?"

"Milky White Way?"

"Ezekiel Saw The Wheel?"

[msdrby]

If it helps your perspective on this, I was raised Methodist, and attented a Baptist church in High school, then in college was confirmed Lutheran. Still, I have never heard of those three songs/hymns.

[RMDupree]

That is a awesome shot!

Really puts some perspective on how BIG that cloud is.

[JenB]

Huh... I know Baptists sing it, and I'm pretty sure I've seen it in a Lutheran hymnbook. I swear it's not just a Presyterian thing, I think I remember singing it at an Assembly of God church...

[msdrby]

I don't think I recall those either.

[JenB]

Ah, no... 'fraid not... they probably require a congregation that can sing in something beside 4/4 time and two-part harmony, right?

LOL! That's a good way to put it...

[JenB]

Seriously, the congregations I've been part of generally have been somewhat unethusiastic about anything slightly difficult to sing. You should have heard the lack of singing last time someone tried "Oh How a Rose E'er Blooming" at Christmastime.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Eh, I grew up in a very northern white-bread Presbyterian church. I know how they sing! ;)

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

nab...

[JenB]

I resemble that remark...

Hey, after waiting for you to get the fives, couldn't you at least put in a graphic?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

I didn't have time, with only 9 seconds between posts.

Besides, the "Fives" graphic I have is actually five fives... I feel like I'm stretching it already to use it for four fives.

[msdrby]

I looked in my 1982 Lutheran hymnal, and the first two were in there, but I still cannot account for the third.

I am used to hearing "All Glory, Laud, and Honor," "From Calvary's Cross I Heard Christ Say," and "Jesus, in Your Dying Woes" for Passion Week. Hmm, interesting.

[JenB]

Third may be new, or may be enjoying a revival.

We sing "All Glory, Laud and Honor" but I don't recall there being a special Easter connotation. The others are familiar - probably they're in the hymnbook but I haven't sung them.

Also Eastertide songs: "Up From the Grave" and "Christ the Lord is Risen Today". And more modern, "Morning Sun".

[msdrby]

mmm, Easter hymns! I would be VERY surprised if I didn't hear "Christ the Lord is Risen Today," or, "The Strife is O'er, the Battle Done."
