I hear it has actually been used at some astronauts' funerals and memorials. Sounds like it’s to the tune of the old Navy Hymn (one of my personal favorites).

Like any genre of music, there is the good, the bad, the ugly, and downright incorrect! The problem with hymns arise when people start elevating them to near the level of scripture. The only thing hymns have over modern music is that they were written first...so they have the advantage of a sort of "psychological precedence," if you will. Hymn writing is an artform that is dying at the hand of the 4 chord "relevant" praise music. The Gettys are doing a good job of trying to keep it alive. Personally, I think there is room for both kinds of music in the same church. I think the problem isn’t necessarily with the hymns in and of themselves.

It is set in an English context but will resonate with a lot of people the world over. "C of E" is the Church of England (Anglican) which is highly suspect to Fundies... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc80G6Yzu04 Here is a great song written & performed by a couple of English geniuses.

How did I manage to not hear "Honey in the Rock"? This topic brings up repressed memories of joybells that happen to be [or are supposed to be] ringing in my heart...
