My Least Favorite Hymns8/2/2005

1.  "God Give Us Christian Homes".  Not only was the tune inane, the song was based on the standard 50s nuclear family with the dad going to work and the mom staying home and looking after the kids.  I can't argue with the sentiment, but the song itself made me cringe when we sang it in church, and it must have been one of the music minister's favorites because we sang it all the time.  Once was more than enough for me.

 

2.   "We've A Story To Tell To The Nations".  This was another one with good sentiment but an inane tune and some equally inane metaphors.  My least favorite line was the one about turning hearts to the right, and the first verse talks about the story but never tells what that story is.

 

3.   "I Exalt Thee".  To me, this hymn seems to last much longer than it actually does.  Once I told my worship band leader how much I disliked it, he saw to it we sang it regularly.  The rat.

 

4.   Any hymn using the "Hyfrydol" tune.  This particular tune goes with several hymns, and my main reason for disliking this hymn tune is because the alto part is awful. The hymn "Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus" uses this tune.

 

5.   "Amazing Love" written by Charles Wesley.  I like this hymn, but it's deucedly hard to sing unless you're a trained singer.

 

6.   "Sunrise Tomorrow".  I've never heard this one sung right except by a tenor from the church I went to when I was growing up.  I have, however, heard it sung wrong.
