In looking at service leaflets/bulletins/ordos (what's an ordo? has anyone ever used this word again after seminary?) for Easter services at our two churches, I realized that I still get the giggles at the end of verse one of "Come, ye faithful, raise the strain."
I find it very funny to sing "led them with unmoistened foot." Of course, later on this Maundy Thursday, my foot will not be unmoistened for very long...
My favourite text is from Christmas, "Lo! He abhors not the Virgin's Womb!" I always think that's very nice of him not to abhor it!
