If we are tempted to think of the universe as a vast machine running down, today's hymn reminds us that to Jesus “the throne / Over all the world is given.”
It's "the gold standard," the 1940! We have some very great favorite hymns which somehow didn't make it to the 1940, but if we were stranded on a desert island with only one hymnal, the 1940 would be our choice. Having said that, we collect hymnals, and we have about 30 different ones. :)
When you mention the minor key, my thoughts immediately go to Bill Bailey, a British comedian and musician..........He's is actually a brilliantly talented musician, though not a composer.
Things I've seen from him explaining musical ideas, both seriously and comedically are wonderful......The instruments he plays range from a theremin, to piano, to lute and so many in between...
This is a short bit of questions which he answers musically...
Learned a new hymn with today’s Word and Song!
You refer to “our favorite hymnal” in this commentary. Could you share what hymnal that is?
