Well, over a half century ago, my dad (a Classical Music Lover) had an LP of the Mormon tab. Choir. He bought it specifically for The Hallelujah Chorus, but even i, as a little hippie child, knew that the other songs had been “altered”.

Most egregious was Shubert’s “Ave Maria” which had an entirely different set of lyrics. (I know, i know...it wasn’t even originally “Ave Maria” either. It was “The lady of the Lake”)! LOL

I was listening to songs on YOUTUBE today and came across the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing Holy Holy Holy.

In place of
"Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!"
they say
"God in his glory, blessed Deity".

The images are pretty Mormon too, like when they say "all the saints adore thee" there's an image of people with Joseph Smith!

I think the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is a great choir, but I wonder how many other Christian songs they have altered? Any one know of others?
