Our rehearsals have begun for our Christmas cantata. Do you know someone who likes to sing?

I find it Interesting:
· There are only four words in the English language, which end in "dous":
tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.
· The words 'racecar,’ 'kayak’ and ‘level’ are the same
whether they are read left to right or right to left (‘palindromes’).
· The sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter of the alphabet. (Now, you KNOW you're going to try this out for accuracy, right?)
· No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple.
· "Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt." (Do you doubt this?)
· Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing.

History of the Hymns

‘Alas and did my Savior Bleed’ (1827) Page 294
Words: Isaac Watts (1674 – 1748)
Music: Hugh Wilson (1766 - 1824)

Isaac Watts included this hymn in his Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in 1707. Today’s version has changed the famous line, “for such a worm as I,” to a phrase considered less offensive: “for sinners such as I.”
Watts was the first Christian hymn writer to include newly composed texts in his hymnals, thus laying the foundation for future hymn-writers. In his Hymns and Spiritual Songs published in 1707 and later revised in 1709, there are three sections. The first contains hymns based on Scripture, the second are newly composed hymns and the third contain hymns for use in celebrating the Lord’s Supper.
The tune of this hymn is also known as “Avon,” “Fenwick,” “All Saints” and “Drumclog.” This tune most likely has Scottish folk roots. Anne Gilchrist identified it as the ballad, “Helen of Kirkconnel.” It has been traced back to leaflets published around the end of the 18th century. There it appears in duple meter. In 1825, Robert Archibald Smith included it in his Sacred Music sung in St. George's Church, Edinburgh, using a triple meter. Hugh Wilson (1766-1829) has been declared the owner of this tune.
