#48 "Glorious Things Are Sung of Zion"
This hymn tune comes from a Dutch melody circa 1710, but no other details are given. Verse two mentions "Adam-ondi-Ahman, so the text is very LDS-oriented. I have notes written in my hymnbook (by me) that have a combination of singing #48 with #46. They are in different keys, so I don't know how the transitions are supposed to go. I don't remember singing this hymn, but the notes I have written make me think otherwise. I also have a note written that this hymn tune can be found in T.T. Noble's book so that you can easily do a hymn improvisation by having the choir sing in unison and use the organ to play Noble's arrangement.
