Subject: Tune Add: Landas (Norwegian?) From: Haruo Date: 18 Dec 02 - 12:42 AM According to "The Cyber Hymnal" the tune LANDÅS is Norwegian traditional; according to some hymnals, on the other hand, it was composed by one André Grétry. Everyone agrees that in any case it was arranged by William J. Kirkpatrick. I see two quite distinct versions of the tune. The one I am accustomed to from Church use, with the syllabication adjusted for the first stanza of the parody above, is as follows:
MIDI file: landas1b.mid Timebase: 192 Name: Landas1b This program is worth the effort of learning it. To download the latest version of MIDItext and get instructions on how to use it click here ABC format: X:1
whereas the melody line of the Cyber Hymnal's MIDI is as follows:
MIDI file: landas-m.mid Timebase: 192 Name: landas This program is worth the effort of learning it. To download the latest version of MIDItext and get instructions on how to use it click here ABC format: X:1 Haruo |

Subject: ADD: My Hope Has Found ... (So.-Baptist Political) From: Haruo Date: 18 Dec 02 - 12:30 AM Here's another recent "mainstream" Baptist hymn parody:
My Hope Has Found a Resting Place
Slayden A. Yarbrough (© 2002)
My hope has found a resting place, in instruments sure and true; The tune is presumably LANDÅS, the customary tune for My Faith Has Found a Resting Place by Eliza Hewitt (1891), which I will also post while I'm at it. Haruo |

Subject: Lyr Add: JESUS SAVES From: Haruo Date: 03 Dec 02 - 10:56 PM When I first heard the phrase "7-11 praise choruses" I thought first of convenience stores. However, I have since been told that in its origin the term is shorthand for "praise songs of seven words, sung eleven times". Here's the latest from BaptistLife.com: >Title: Who Saves, What Saves >Tune: JESUS SAVES >By: "Rock" >Theme: This hymn attempts to give voice to the confusion among moderate baptist regarding salvation as they try to bring their beliefs in this area into line with acceptable SBC practice.
You probably have to be a disaffected Southern Baptist, probably also an alum of an SBC seminary, to get the part about pickles. Has to do with some high Southern Baptist mucky-muck (perhaps "Cardinal" Al Mohler?) who said something along the lines of it doesn't matter whether pickles have souls; if we say our seminaries are to teach that pickles have souls then that is what they are going to teach, by gum... BTW, Rock's lyrics don't scan very well in my opinion. Still, the song is very popular at BaptistLife and folks there seem to be singing it without difficulty; Rock even won the coveted "Golden Spur" award for it. Haruo |

Subject: Lyr Add: JESUS SAVES (Priscilla J. Owens) From: Haruo Date: 02 Dec 02 - 10:45 PM This is the hymn that "Sign the creed" parodies. It is still quite popular in those evangelically-minded churches that haven't gone over kit and caboodle to the 7-11 praise chorus. Jesus Saves by Priscilla J. Owens, in Songs of Redeeming Love, 1882.
According to The Cyber Hymnal, Owens wrote this song for the Union Square Methodist Church Sunday school in Baltimore, Maryland. FWIW. The song in the DT that uses this one's tune is In the Pit from Sin Set Free. All the other "Jesus Saves" lyrics I've seen in the Forum are to John Brown's Body, not the Kirkpatrick tune; this includes the ubiquitous First Wisconsin Bank stanza. Haruo |

Subject: Lyr Add: SIGN THE CREED (So.-Baptist Political) From: Haruo Date: 02 Dec 02 - 10:24 PM About two weeks ago I put in my online hymnal an anonymous hymn parody entitled "Sign the Creed" which has proven to be the most popular number in my collection, receiving 338 hits since Nov. 18th. SIGN THE CREED by "A. Baptist", © 2002
Tune: JESUS SAVES aka SALVATION (KIRKPATICK, William J. Kirkpatrick, 1882 It is already a classic in its subculture, which is the disenfranchised set of Southern Baptists displaced by the fundamentalist takeover of that denomination (I know, I know, some of us have a hard time imagining a distinction between Southern Baptists and fundamentalists! ...) who call themselves "Mainstream Baptists". The IMB (of which Jerry Rankin is president) is the Southern Baptist Convention's International Mission Board, which recently began requiring its missionaries to "sign" the 2000 edition of the Baptist Faith & Message. This does not sit well with the non-fundamentalist set; an opposition to creedalism and a strong doctrine of the priesthood of each believer have been hallmarks of historic Baptist belief. (Here is an official Southern Baptist response to the charges in this song.) I will post the tune, too, since neither the DT nor Mudcat MIDIs has it, even though there is already one (coal mining) song in the DT that calls for it. |
