Hallelujah! I’m happy today. My Computer Guru Son tore my old computer apart, accessed the hard drive, and helped me download the information from my old (dead) computer into my new one. This blessed event means that I now KNOW what the final 35 hymns for the Top 100 Hymns Project are. And I can start counting them down again.
So, starting tomorrow, for the next 35 days we will enjoy together the Top 35 Hymns chosen by the readers of this blog. Get ready to do some singing and praising and rejoicing. I may be a passionate reader, but I also like to sing, especially hymns of faith and praise to the God of Creation and to the Lord Jesus Christ, maker of words and music.

I am so glad you were able to access your old drive. I have really enjoyed the hymn posts. Thank you for doing this project.
Hey, do I see shape notes in the pic? Way to go!
This is wonderful news. I’ve been very busy the past couple of weeks and didn’t drop by, and when finally I had time to visit there were not only more hymns, but too many to digest at once.
I’ll post a copy of “O for a thousand tongues” set to Lyngham, so you can see how the words fit it. I think it’s a really neat tune, but so far I’ve never been in a congregation that was willing to try it, and it’s a tune that cries out for part singing (or choir), not unison (or solo).
