For example, one may find "Lift High the Cross" in either a "Lent" or "Exaltation of the Holy Cross" category, but may fit in other days in Ordinary Time. This saves the singer from thinking "Why are we singing a Lent hymn in August?"<br /><br />Hope this helps.<br />BMPBrian Michael Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836644567939527991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002745.post-87983887218704013892012-02-27T06:38:32.932-05:002012-02-27T06:38:32.932-05:00I'm afraid I really, really dislike alpha orde...I'm afraid I really, really dislike alpha order hymnals. <br /><br />Look - if I've got, say, a Lenten service to choose hymns for, I want to see the Lenten-specific hymns in one section so I can see what I have to choose from. Otherwise, I run the risk of missing out on some good songs, and wasting time searching for hymns that aren't there.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596161738655132279noreply@blogger.com
