Re 37454, 5

Jesus Christ is Risen Today

14th cent. Latin carol, tr. 1-3:Charles Wesley, 1707-1788; 4: tr.Lyra Davidica

Charles Wesley, Co-Founder of Methodism. Another great Protestant hymn.

Protestant Episcopal Hymnal - Alleluia! sing to Jesus!

First of all, Reggie, good solid hymns which are not teaching heresy are accepted by the post conciliar Church regardless of origin. Secondly, due to history, a good measure of English speaking hymns are of Anglican/Methodist origin. Thirdly, check the origin of hte first one again. It originated as a 14th century Latin hymn. This would be Catholic, as I don't recall Protestant writing Latin hymns in that time period. So there.

Wrong wrong wrong. There were Baptists writting lots of hymns in the 14th century (they certainly weren't singing the Catholic ones!). But we burned all of them (the songs) before they could be passed down to today.

Hope you had a blessed Easter!

Re 37490

I have some good news for you. The Patriots open their season playing the Steelers. It's a Monday night game so your guys have a chance. ;^)

Yeah, we've known about that one for a few weeks. It will be the official opener for the new stadium in Foxboro. Should be exciting, though as a local sports wag put it, "Isn't it exciting that there will be a rematch of the championship game to start the new season? Only if they give us that trophy if we win."

The Steelers get 3 Monday and one Sunday night this year. It won't be till week 3 that they play during the daytime.

The words are by "unknown" 1308 (I believe). Protestants put many prayers and poems to music. I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't loved some hymns by Martin Luther. So there.
