Well, the hymns out of G&P that I have heard are not particularly musical - repetitive, predictable, three-chord stuff - and they tend to be liturgically suspect, mostly because of the focus on "I, me, mine" instead of the glory of God.

But I don't know that I have a representative sample (having never had that hymnal in my hands), and I am also a musical reactionary . . . at least as far as sacred music is concerned.

They must have come out with some new G&P stuff...dont remember the focus on "I/me" so much from the 80s. Quite a few of the G&P I remember were direct from Scripture. Oh well... *grin*
