Good to have clarity on the following:
1) Do I love it because it’s familiar?
2) Does it need to be authentic in the sense that it’s original?
3) At what point does an editor become an editorializer?
4)… and is that “bad?”

I’d suggest going ahead with Jeremiah Ingalls‘ The Christian Harmony (1805) version. Why not? After all, you get a layer of authenticity since tunes and text were not nearly as firmly wed together in Olde America. And that, in itself, is also authentic.

And to see if you would change your opinion about finishing your Radikal Bikers emu and fix the crashes.
But i must say i was impressed when i saw you are an active member of a chorus from a church.
I must say i would had never thought a programmer could believe in god. Maybe because maths don’t leave enough room for something “irrational” like the existence of a god. I used to go church every sunday but after a couple of bad experiences with some of the “heads” of the church i left it
But i never stop believing in god and i don’t blame him for that bad experiences.

Very cool. Thanks, Aaron. A year without the Messiah is like Mappy without a trampoline.
