Thanks...Have had them memorized for years...as post above explains.

Here's some more music trivia for you. Columbus kept two journals...In the one for the King he noted that when his men landed they fell on their knees and sang the “TE DEUM”

The first book published in the colonies was a music book: THE MASSACHUSETT BAY PSALM HYMNAL. On Page 100 of that book was a loose translation of the “TE DEUM”. For years it was referred to as “OL Hundred”

Anyone want to guess what we call it today? (No fair peeking!)

THE DOXOLOGY

If music was taught in our school true to our countries history there would be no doubt that the founders indeed intented us to be ONE NATION UNDER GOD.

"do I look like I would peek?, have you ever seen such an example of raw energy and pent up explosiveness. I pride myself in exemplary quickness and agility to recall the slightest bit of information passed on to me by any educator like yourself....?????...what was the question again?"

The Doxology?

[TXnMA]

The Doxology, which is actually the last verse of the 1674 hymn,

"Awake My Soul, and with the Sun"...

~~~~~~~~

"Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;"

"Praise Him, ye creatures here below;"

"Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;"

"Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost."

I knew the answer, but, as an afterthought, also provided the links above, where you can hear the music and read the history and lyrics..
