On Sunday I shall play another hymn which is new to me, "Only by Grace". I'm not sure it really suits the organ but I will manage. Strangely I quite like it.
I looked for it on YouTube and found a few versions. I was annoyed that the video below does not include the syncopation quite correctly on 'enter' at the end of line 1 and in similar places. There is also a melodic line which, in my printed copy, goes B B B B G B B C at 'Into your presence you call us'. I did not find any videos where I could hear the G. A couple went to an A as a lower auxiliary note to the harmony; others fudged it and there was no distinct pitch.
Come on people: if you are going to have modern hymns, sing them correctly.
