I have a few old hymnals, Methodist, Baptist, Episcopal - I like to find a hymn in all of them and play the different versions.

Interestingly, we've heard of a "revival" of sorts of the older hymns. One church we know of has separate worship gatherings at the same time on Sunday, with the main auditorium engaged in "contemporary" worship, and the fellowship hall engaged in traditional worship with hymns, and then the sermon is piped into the fellowship hall via TV monitors. What the church is finding is that many younger members are gravitating to the traditional worship. They may have to swap locations soon -- the traditional service in the main auditorium.

At my workplace we have a First Christian (Disciples of Christ) church across the street from us. Unfortunately, I think that denomination is a little bit on the lib side, but they do play traditional hymns over their steeple's sound system where I can hear it in my office. It's quite nice.

I remember that I was nearly distraught when my church (Southern Baptist) quit using the hymnal and less traditional music. There is some contemporary I like, but some music is just timeless.
