But......I just noticed that this is a wee bit late. But... <br /><br /><br />10. I Feel the Winds of God Today (Kingsfold) to which the words have been completely demolished in the new Hymn Book. <br /><br /> I love that hymn too,m and we sing it any way. <br /><br />However, the Words set to Kingsfold in Common Praise of 1998 are not any kind of hash of "I Feel The Winds of God Today". They are a different hymn altogether. <br /><br />The words in the 1998 Common Praise are for the old hymn, " I heard the Voice of Jesus Say" and were first published as far as I can find in the 1904 edition of Hymns Ancient and Modern. The Tune, Kingsfold was not in that book,as it had not been written yet, and so the hymn was set to Vox Dilecti. <br /><br />The words to "I Feel the winds of God Today" we published in 1906, and set to Kingsfold in the Hymn Book overseen by Percy Dearmer and Ralph Vaughn Williams in 1906. <br /><br /> <br />In Hymn Book of 1938, "I Feel the Winds of God Today" is set to Kingsfold (426) and "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say"(503) has Kingsfold as the second tune. <br /><br /> In the 1971 Hymn Book the two hymns are both set to Kingsfold. " I Heard The Voice of Jesus Say" (1125) and "I Feel The Winds of God Today" (282) <br /><br />What actually happened is that" I Feel The Winds of God Today" was simply chosen,- out! through the inscrutable wisdom by which national committees of Hymn Book Editors decide such things. They kicked "We Three Kings" as well, for God knows what reason. <br /><br />But you may take cumfort in the fact theat thdy didn't ruin the hymn, just eliminated it. I hope it comes back in teh next Hymn Book, or... and this is my post-modern daughters saying this... maybe thde days of Hymn Books are over. <br /><br />Peace. <br />Hugh+<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460456593563182204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930988849407292582.post-8426232005501041502008-10-24T10:40:00.000-07:002008-10-24T10:40:00.000-07:00Yes "Be thou My Vision" I'd happily put up there. ...Yes "Be thou My Vision" I'd happily put up there.
