Those were some good ones too. I was just being a wise guy by cutting things off at Wesley.
In the Methodist Church where I grew up, we used the official hymnal , but we also had a green book called “Tabernacle Hymns.”. I liked a lot of those.
I’m a Methodist, but I’ve never heard of Tabernacle Hymns. The current hymnal that we are using has many good hymns, but it’s disappointing how many great Methodist hymns have been excluded. For example, there are none by Lelia Morris, who wrote both the lyrics and the music for hundreds of inspiring hymns. At the Trinity Methodist Church in McConnelsville, Ohio, where she was the music director around the beginning of the last century, they have pasted a number of hir hymns into the hymnal.
