Officer SOE/LoE/Where's "here"?
I know we have done this before, but this time we are going to add a twist to it. Only hymns or songs older than 50 years old. I was going with 100 yrs, but for the younger CGA members and new Christians attending churches that are heavy on praise and worship, and contemporary songs it would be too difficult. A little research is necessary here, year written if available, author, and favorite tune it is to. For churches like The Salvation Army that is necessary, some hymns have 3 or 4 tunes to them. Hopefully this will expose us to some forgotten, or "new" hymns and songs that are really good. Also my curiosity bump is wondering about certain hymns and their relative popularity. I'll put most of mine up later. Which reminds me some songs and hymns may not have a date and author, that's ok those are sometimes some of the best. Just try tracking down the roots of "Baptism of Jesse Taylor". Yes the pure fun ones are eligible.
