We used to sing Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy, shall follow you.... all the days, all the days of your life.
I just think that's bang out of order, and all three of them should be arrested for stalking.

On this side of the pond it's generally 'lead us not into Penn Station' -- which given that venue's confusion should continue 'but lead us OUT of Penn Station.' ![[Snigger]](graemlins/snigger.gif)

Back in the seventies we had a song "How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him" with the rousing chorus: "I got brains!", or, as originally intended, our god reigns.
More recently my kids have likened the lyrics "defender of the weak", to manager of the month, or goal of the season. Though this last is a deliberate misreading.

I've always thought that! Sounds like a footballing award.

Me too. Shame, I really like the song otherwise.

Our CU president at the time was one Andrew Raines, which fits quite nicely into the chorus of that song
In our fellowship youth group, the chorus of that song which starts "I get so excited Lord every time I realise", became I'm a gibbon"

There's a South-African hymn, 'We are marching in the light of God', which is sometimes sung in the original African language as well as English, if the words are available. The first verse of the African version sounds vaguely like "Cook your hamster in a white-wine sauce", which is what I've heard sung (and, I admit, sung myself) before now.
The words, in the original and the usual English version.

The Chorus goes 'I'm forgiven, I'm forgiven, I'm forg......Well you get the picture.
Unfortunately when sung in a large crowd (or any crowd) it sound unmistakeably like they are singing 'I'm a Gibbon, I'm a Gibbon'..etc.
Now I know why this tune quietly went out of fashion in the last Century!
Along those lines,

When to the temple Mary went
and took the holy Child,
him did the aged simian see...
I suppose all those animals around at her baby's birth prepared Mary to hand off her child to an old monkey!

My brother and I loved to change "To be a pilgrim" in every verse of that classic because "pilgrim" both rhymed and scanned with our family name.
My brother would even sometimes dedicate the whole hymn to our mother who in the manner of the 1950's changed her name on marriage!

One of the sopranos in our choir always wants to sing that as "to be a penguin".

I think it's happened since then. I got married in 1988 and changed mine. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I changed my name when I got married - from "Steve" to "Oy!".
