12/06/2003 Entry: "New hymns"

Thanks to the Wibsite for pointing us Hymns Modern & Ancient, a frankly hilarious new hymn book. Be careful - you could easily find yourself singing along. I know to my cost that choking is a distinct possibility. As a taster, here's the opening verse and chorus of I danced in the chancel

I danced in the chancel when the service began,And I danced to the altar when the offert'ry was sung,I waltzed to the Sanctus, and the Agnus Dei,And leaped up the nave crying, "Oooh I say!"

Dance, then, wherever you may be,Dance in the pulpit and the sacristy,I'll lead you on, whenever you agree,For I love to mince in the liturgy!

Soe sthe hymnal have Travesty (to the tune of Majesty)-- it goes something like Travesty! This song is a travesty... Plodding and Slow .. we sing it bad .. repeat one more time. Travesty! This song is a travesty...
