#268 "Come, All Whose Souls Are Lighted"

This hymn title was changed from the 1950 hymnal.  The old title, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains", didn't explain the true message of the hymn.  I don't remember ever singing or playing this hymn before today.  I was surprised that there is a footnote stating that it was included in the original 1835 hymnal.  Apparently, other Christian denominations have been singing it for years, too.  The 1985 edition has put the third verse as the first verse and eliminated the second verse.  A few other word changes were made, too.  It was easy to play.  It would make a nice song for a missionary farewell.
