New Hymn book announced!

[Palerider]

For all you kids out there who've been complaining about church hymns, here's your chance to help with the new Hymnal set to come out in a couple of years. Apparently this may upset some saints in the Morcor.

I didn't know that.

Is this their way of compensating for missing a deadline?

Just pretend the first one never happened and then re-announce?

There's a Simpsons version of that with slightly different lyrics sung at Ned Flanders church. It goes "In the garden of Eden . . ."

They also revised the handbook so that my instrument isn't summarily considered "inappropriate" for sacrament meeting. Some ward needs to push the envelope full with a full on worship band.

Or the Choir at Temple Square singing the Frank Sinatra song She's Having Our Baby.

I imagine songs that would have a theological conflict with the LDS Church, such as Amazing Grace, will not make the cut.

I know, it's pedantic but I'm pretty sure that was Paul Anka. I don't think Sinatra ever covered that.

But it would be interesting to hear the Choir give a rendition of Strangers in the Night.

Are the hymn books the same world wide? Seems they could leave the patriotic stuff in the USA books.

I remember, years ago, when the new primary songbook came out and my mom was livid that they left out Give Said the Little Stream. I thought she may leave the church. Hahahaha.

I suppose they have left out Book of Mormon Stories too, now that we can't find the Lamanites anymore? It would be really clumsy to cram "were among the ancestors" into a single quarter note.
