I've been interested in seeing what appears to be a renewed interests in hymns. It's becoming somewhat common to see musicians take the text of the hymn and write a new tune to it. I think there are a lot of reasons why singing hymns during worship is a good and helpful thing and I plan on writing on that in a separate blog post.
In the meantime, check out a fellow Kentucky blogger, the Kentucky Parson. He has written a post that touches on the same subject.
