This year, one of the challenges that I have given myself is to write new hymns (or at least new words for old hymn tunes.) I have written about nine so far, including one based on this week's lectionary reading from Psalm 99 -Extol the Lord, Our God (Holy Is His Name).
And then, as I continued in my reading and my preparation for Sunday's service, I remembered that several years ago I wrote a short little melody to fit the words of an old hymn by Joseph A. Robinson 'Tis Good, Lord, To Be Here. So this week, I seem to be especially productive (but it's only "seems.")
