No More Hims of Praise

[Rouchstone] February 20, 2006--Even when a traditional hymn is included in the modern Catholic hymnals, one cannot settle in to praise God with words written by greater men than we are. Almost always, the lyrics have been so flattened, botched, castrated, and lobotomized that I’d almost prefer to sing “On Turkey’s Wings” (you know, “I will raise you up on turkey’s wings, la de da and la de da, la de da da da da daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah”).

I personally object to Prof. Ensolen's parodying of Michael Joncas' adaption of Psalm 91, "On Eagle's Wings."
