The ECUSA Hymnal 1982 is due to be revised. I am not at all looking forward to what they come up with. Modernity-culture PC nonsense, I suspect...

Watch for further changes in the lyrics of hymns. Just recently in church we sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Instead of “As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,” the words had been changed to “let us live to make men free.”

I have long since left the ECUSA as they have resolutely abandoned the Word and traditional Christian teachings but growing up I loved the old ECUSA hymnal that was in every pew along with the old prayer book and the bible.

One of my favorites, which as my mother's too (she was a convert from Old School Baptism) was 145: "My faith looks up to the, thou lamb of Calvary, Savior divine, Oh hear us while we pray, take all our guilt away; Oh, let us from this day be wholly thine." I had it sung at her funeral.
