Music Notes Exploring the United Methodist Hymnal, ©1989 Part II: “Using the Indexes of the Hymnal” After exploring the hymn on the page in last month’s newsletter, we now turn to the Indexes of the hymnal. The first is the Index of Composer, Arrangers, Authors Translators and Sources. This index (UMH pg. 906) allows one to search for the cultures from which hymns originate. This is especially helpful on Sundays such as World Communion Sunday when we use hymns from around the world. Hy m n f e s t s honoring particular hymn writers and composers are also selected by using this index. T h e In d e x o f S c r i p t u r e , Ser vices, Psalter, Acts of Worship, Hymns, Canticles, Prayers, Poems (UMH pg. 923-924) likewise are useful in planning special emphases and finding elements that work with particular scriptural selections. Services include weddings, funerals, baptism & Holy Communion. The Metrical Index (UMH pg. 926) allows one to find matching tunes and hymn texts based upon the poetic meters of each line of a hymn. With this information, worship leaders are able to match familiar tunes to unfamiliar texts and vice-versa. The Index of Tune Names (UMH pg. 931) gives the opportunity to find several hymn texts that are matched to a hymn tune. The Index of Topics and Categories (UMH pg. 934) is most helpful when planning thematic services. The selected titles were derived based on John Wesley’s topics and theology. The Index of First Lines and Common Titles of Hymns, Canticles and Acts of Worship (UMH pg. 955) saves immense time when hunting for hymns for the right occasion.
“The world is not an easy place in which to live doxologically” – Geoffrey Wainwright Psalm 100’s history runs from the Israelite temple on Mount Zion to the synagogues and churches spread across the earth. ( James L. Mays, “Worship, World and Power”). The New Interpreter’s Bible Commentary states that the lesson of the Psalm is “God rules the world, and consequently we belong to God. This message lies not only at the heart of the book of Psalms but also at the heart of Jesus’ preaching and of the whole of Scripture.” Paul continues this theme as he speaks of our body as the temple of the Holy Spirit bought with a price to glorify God . (2 Cor. 6:19-20). We are not our own! Can we still hear this message in a world that encourages us to be “self-made” men and women? This Psalm reminds us that our lives are not simply our own to live. Genuine life is found in submission to God. Brueggemann calls Psalm 100 an “act of sanity.” “Obviously our world is at the edge of insanity and we with it.…Greed is celebrated as economic a d v a n c e. Po w e r r u n s u n b r i d l e d t o destructiveness.…our psalm is an act of sanity,…Life is no longer self-grounded without thanks but rooted in thanks.”
Unique Churches from throughout the world
Borgund Church: Best Preserved Stave Church The Borgund Stave Church in LÊrdal is the best preserved of Norway's 28 extant stave churches. This wooden church, probably built in the end of the 12th century, has not changed structurally. The church is also featured as a Wonder for the Viking civilization in the computer game Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings.
