Singing

They selected a nice hymn (though a bit modern) at church prayer service tonight, but.... not to be paranoid but I think they know which are the most difficult keys for me to reach ha ha ha.

Don't pick on the visiting Catholic, I'm just trying to help LOL. Hard for me to hit those high notes like somz I could mention.

The preaching was mighty fine, however, honestly.

Otherwise today another day in the glue factory.

Gregorian Chant

To me, there is no higher form of music than Gregorian Chant.

Whenever I listen to Gregorian Chant I feel as though if a measuring cup were labeled "music," that Gregorian Chant fills that cup completely.

Song: Christian oldie often runs in my mind

I often have the refrain from this song run through my mind, for decades. However, the refrain I have is usually the slave version that someone sang for me a long time ago, as a child:

"Go tell it on the mountain, over the hill and everywhere, go tell it on the mountain, to let my people go."

While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens,
There shone a holy light:

Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Saviour's birth:

Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And God send us salvation,
That blessed Christmas morn:

Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

When I am a seeker,
I seek both night and day;
I seek the Lord to help me,
And He shows me the way:

Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

He made me a watchman
Upon the city wall,
And if I am a Christian,
I am the least of all.

Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
