Cheyenne Spiritual Songs

Today, in response to threads on Conjubilant With Song and BaptistLife.com, I posted *.wma files of three Cheyenne Spiritual Songs from the Mennonites' Cheyenne-language hymnal Tsese-Ma'heone- Nemeotȯtse

The BaptistLife.com thread has scanned material from the hymnal including the singable English version of one of the songs, Esenehane Jesus, #3 in the Cheyenne hymnal, and #22 Nameome’etano’tovȯ Jesus (I thought about Jesus in the morning), while the Conjubilant one has an interlinear version of #40 Vehone-ma’kaetaevokėha’e (A Crown)

Our 63 universal hymns

Here is a list of the 63 hymns (text-tune pairings) found in all eight of the hymnals at my disposal that are used by Evergreen Baptist Association English-language congregations:

A mighty fortress is our God Ein' feste Burg
Abide with me fast falls the eventide Eventide
Alas and did my Savior bleed Hudson
All hail the power of Jesus' name Coronation
Amazing grace how sweet the sound that New Britain
Angels from the realms of glory Regent Square

How firm a foundation Foundation
I am thine O Lord I have heard thy voice I Am Thine
I come to the garden alone Garden
I love to tell the story Hankey

O little town of Bethlehem St Louis
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross Old Rugged Cross
Rejoice ye pure in heart Marion
Rock of Ages cleft for me Toplady
Silent night holy night Stille Nacht
Sing them over again to me Words of Life
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling Thompson
Sweet hour of prayer Sweet Hour
The church's one foundation Aurelia
There is a name I love to hear O How I Love Jesus
There's a sweet sweet Spirit in this place Manna
We gather together Kremser
Were you there when they crucified Were You There
What a fellowship what a joy divine Showalter
What a friend we have in Jesus Converse
What child is this Greensleeves
When I survey the wondrous cross Hamburg
When peace like a river attendeth my way Ville du Havre

The complete list of the texts and tunes in the eight hymnals is in a spreadsheet at this location on the Fremont Baptist website. I've tried to treat various modernizations and inclusive rewrites, wherever possible, as "the same as" their older versions; details can be found in the notes in the spreadsheet. I probably missed a couple of those, however, where the New Century Hymnal's first line differs drastically from the received text.

Note that a text that is not uniformly found with the same tune may be underreported. For example, "Away in a manger" is in all eight hymnals, but failed to make the "universal" list because although seven of the hymnals give it to Mueller (aka Away in a Manger, the eighth gives it only to Cradle Song (four of the hymnals give both tunes).

I would be thrilled to receive feedback triggered by these data.

Mia Himnareto - my new blog

I've started a new hymnblog, Mia Himnareto - My Little Hymnal. Some of what I post there will probably be pertinent here. Go ahead and comment there if you will be so kind.
