The song so nice, they had to play it eighteenhundredwice (according to AMG, who list some 1813 recordings). However, this song brings me no pleasure at all. It stands out a little from most of the Presbyterian hymnbook, but it's not like that's any great feat. Something about the combination of the melody and the 3/4 actually makes me feel a little dizzy, a little seasick almost.
I say DUD, but does anybody else? And if so, how come there's 2000 dang versions of the thing and it gets tromped out every time there's a funeral?
