Visit my blog and comment too, I, like you, appreciate comments, be kind or critical, but employ kindness in your criticism.

I'd hazard a guess that folks select hymns not for theological completeness, but based on musical aesthetics or personal meaning. If so...why no Psalms? Why do you suppose that was?

And interestingly, many of the Psalms we sing now are in the more chanting style, not the Geneva Psalter style, with its 125 melodies and 150 Psalms! And interestingly, the more penitential Psalms are what were sung often in Calvin's Geneva - after the prayers of confession - and were sung/written before some of the praise Psalms. And I try to use a sung Psalm in most of the services I lead as a supply preacher, and EVEN preach on them a lot (like this coming Sunday). Enjoy your time at Montreat, and the singing!

I am proud to have helped raise a "hymn nerd". Scottish genes, First Pres. Tallahassee and St. Olaf .... a winning combination. P.S. I am proud to have helped raise a “hymn nerd”.

And any other psalms you want. You can plan a hymn sing / psalm sing, if you like. That would seem appropriate.

Your Scots friends would be proud of this post. I'm also continuing the psalms traditions, but I'm using art as my medium. Thus far I've drawn about 84, so I've only another 66 to go!
