I have sung hymns my entire life and have a collection of hymnbooks in my library. <br /><br />My favorite hymn is Now Thank We All Our God, written by two German hymnists, with words by Martin Rinkart(1586 - 1649) and music by Johann Cruger (1598 -1662). The version of this hymn in most modern American hymnbooks have the words translated by the incomparable Catherin Winkworth and the music harmonized by Felix Mendelssohn. <br /><br />TJGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21999805.post-71229812301299868262012-06-20T09:14:12.026-05:002012-06-20T09:14:12.026-05:00As the man said, "How can one better magnify ...As the man said, "How can one better magnify the Almighty than by sniggering with Him at His little jokes, particularly the poorer ones?"Roger Boylanhttp://www.rogerboylan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21999805.post-15429855731093817462012-06-19T19:55:17.636-05:002012-06-19T19:55:17.636-05:00In one of the sequences in the Cyclops chapter of ...In one of the sequences in the Cyclops chapter of <i>Ulysses</i>, Mulligan and Lenehan sing "The Night Before Larry Was Stretched."Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819154529261482038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21999805.post-66034794517592855222012-06-19T17:01:59.908-05:002012-06-19T17:01:59.908-05:00"Lead, Kindly Light" was Mahatma Gandhi&..."Lead, Kindly Light" was Mahatma Gandhi's favorite hymn and the title of a lyrically living biography of h by Vincent Sheehan.<br /><br /> Rick Freemanrgfrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03098442053009135266noreply@blogger.com
