I believe the new hymn book is supposed to be out in two more years. There are two hymns that will either be gone, or have word changes. "If You Could Hie to Kolob" and "Praise to the Man".
Even though I think the sound of "If You Could Hie To Kolob" is pretty cool, how can this hymn continue when the MFMC is trying to rebrand as traditional Christian? There are at least two lines that won't make the cut. Maybe they will just take them out.
"Find the generation where godS began to be".
Plural godS?? Gods evolved? We can become gods, too? YIKES
Then there's this gem:
"There is no end to race"
Wow, racist enough?! According to the MAGA crowd, I thought in the celestial kingdom everyone ends up white??
Then there's "Praise to the Man"
I predict the MFMC will downplay the Joseph worship in this hymn to try to appear like JESUS is actually the most important person in mormonism. We all know who it really is... Joseph Smith. Jesus is a bit player. Hopefully this song will be gone.
Can you think of others that will be gone, or have word changes?
