“I would have to break my hundred-year rule in the case of some of the new hymn tunes in the Hymnal. Just one example is the new setting of “There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy” No. 469 - text written by Frederick W. Faber, the English Catholic convert.”
In the 1982(which is what we use)?
I was really sore when they ditched the '28 prayer book, so I was all ready to be sore all over again when the ditched the 1940 hymnal.
But while I never became reconciled to the new prayerbook, I have decided that on balance the musician gains more than he loses in the 1982 hymnal.
