I'm certainly enjoying the numerous discussions flying about here with Fr. Krisman and Fr. Chepponis.
I wouldn't have bought the Worship IV hymnal for my congregation anyway (love the St. Michael!), but this was the text that made me close it with a thump when I first reviewed it:
My Elder Son, Go Work Today! (no. 739)
1. "My elder son, go work today! The corn is ripe, so don't delay!"
"No, I won't go to work today. My friends are her, I'd rather play!"
His father's need made him repent. He therefore changed his mind and went.
(EDIT: Last 2 verses removed.)
