Definitely. 'Morning Has Broken' was hijacked by schools as an assembly hymn, you'd hear it all the fucking time. the aptly initialed JC stirred a few memories on the cat stevens/getting old thread. i too remember 'morning has broken' being in the school hymn book. it was one i used to like belting out along with the likes of 'glad that i live am i', 'kum ba yah', 'go tell it to the mountains' and 'he's got the whole world in his hands'. i still remember the A5 beige school hymn book and that 'morning has broken' was hymn number 27. anyone else remember any other hymns sang at school during the 70s? |

I have a hard time separating the school hymns from the church ones (I had to go every Sunday until I was 14). Generally speaking school had the hippy crap (Praise be! Jesus loves you all!) and the cold, unforgiving stuff was saved for the hard pews in church. But the POWER of some of those old hymns! I still find this one very affecting

He wants to sing it while Michael Portillo wanks him off, chewing on a £100 Sicilian lemon - then HEAVEN WILL BE REACHED

We didn' sing shit in public school. Maybe during the holidays, but now you can't do that anymore either, I presume.
I did sing in the church choir in junior high. They had tryouts and auditions because the guys' voices were changing.

O Lord, please don't burn us.
Don't grill or toast Your flock.
Don't put us on the barbecue
Or simmer us in stock.
Don't braise or bake or boil us
Or stir-fry us in a wok.
Oh, please don't lightly poach us
Or baste us with hot fat.
Don't fricassee or roast us
Or boil us in a vat,
And please don't stick Thy servants, Lord,
In a Rotissomat.
