Hey @BanjoBen, what do you think about the old song “Brethren, We Have Met to Worship” to continue the Hymn Studies series? I’d love to hear your take on this song! I hear some great opportunities for tasty harmonies, syncopation, suspensions and all that good stuff.

For hymn study idea, Ben, what do you think about the original British(??) tune version of “Lead kindly light”? 
Here is this British version done by Indians in 24 languages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2uuZAIeL-I
Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom,
Lead thou me on;
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
Lead thou me on;
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene: one step enough for me.
I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose, and see my path; but now
Lead thou me on.
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on,
O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost a while.
