You are Pope St. Pius X. You'd rather be right than
newfangled.

Flattering to me, but not to the Saint.

Believe it or not, on the bagpipes it's very moving, particularly while hoisting the rig on a tall ship.
You would have loved it. Even at 12, 13, with the TLM, though, I preferred daily Mass -- no sermon/homily/announcements, etc., just the Mass. Of course, in our parish, about 80% of daily Masses were Requiems, with the black vestments, and "Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem/Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem/Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem sempiternam." But some of them were High Masses (not, of course, Solemn High), and those were practically all the High Masses I heard even then.
When I was in high school, the changes came fast and furious -- and I was against all of them! :-)
Actually, I think to poet of Amazing Grace was a Presbyterian. He was a Scot at the very least.
Nope. Sorry. You'd have to ditch the "musical composition" to give it a chance.
I've been through this whole thread and I haven't seen Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus". Granted, it's a motet, but it is used as a hymn in some places.
A capella with a balanced choir, this is Heaven.
Several people have mentioned "Ave Maria". I need to ask which one? There are quite a number. A lot of people think of the Schubert, but really there are others that are much more sacred sounding.
Everyone knows about carrying your cross. No one mentions getting jabbed by the splinters.
Yet another reason to thank God.
John Mason Neale was a genius.

I've heard it sung with a variety of different lyrics.
No, no, no! It's COLA fide --- it's the Real Thing! (Groan..)
...Three Hail Mary's and an Act of Contrition for you young lady! Posters don't let posters post puns :)
I played this once while in high school orchestra (I played cello). You are right, it's phenomenal.
Bob Dylan song from "Shot of Love". Was not on the original release, but added later.
Bob Dylan: The Groom's Still Waiting at the Altar
Prayed in the ghetto with my face in the cement,
Heard the last moan of a boxer, seen the massacre of the innocent
Felt around for the light switch, became nauseated.
She was walking down the hallway while the walls deteriorated.
East of the Jordan, hard as the Rock of Gibraltar,
I see the burning of the page, Curtain risin' on a new age,
See the groom still waitin' at the altar.
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,
Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery,
Got the message this morning, the one that was sent to me
About the madness of becomin' what one was never meant to be.
West of the Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar,
I see the burning of the stage,
Curtain risin' on a new age,
See the groom still waitin' at the altar.
Don't know what I can say about Claudette that wouldn't come back to haunt me,
Finally had to give her up 'bout the time she began to want me.
But I know God has mercy on them who are slandered and humiliated
. I'd a-done anything for that woman if she didn't make me feel so obligated.
West of the Jordan, west of the Rock of Gibraltar,
I see the burning of the cage,
Curtain risin' on a new stage,
See the groom still waitin' at the altar.
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
There's a wall between you and what you want and you got to leap it,
Tonight you got the power to take it, tomorrow you won't have the power to keep it.
West of the Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar,
I see the burning of the stage, Curtain risin' on a new age,
See the groom still waitin' at the altar.
