I Hate The Thoughts of Vanity

A more solemn hymn, this one foreboded a dull sermon, often leading into the second part of a double sabbath.

O How Love I Thy Law

An ode to legalism, isolationism, and cult control. A typical staple for a typical Saturday.

O Give Thanks Unto Our God

A typical hymn, usually sung on a typical Saturday. At first glance, the Judaic god in this hymn seems almost tolerable. A closer examination, as always, reveals something remarkably different.

When Israel Out of Egypt Went

This wasn’t a popular hymn in my congregation. The melody was a bit difficult for even practiced singers, if I recall correctly.
