I really love that hymn, too - that is, the old-fashioned, stodgy, stately version of it. I seem to be the only person I've met who doesn't just love the sparkly, fluffy arrangement by John Rutter, which I've endured singing OVER and OVER again in SO many different ward choirs...it's all I can do to resist leaping around, in mockery of a ballerina, tossing daisies and rose petals into the air, cascading on my fellow singers, or at the very least shimmying my head and shoulders, ever so slightly, whenever we sing:
For the beau-tee of the skiiiii - hi - hi - hiiiiies! or (imagine a bunch of hyperactive beavers or ground squirrels, looking up and around, goggly-eyed, chittering):
Over-and-a-round - us-liiiiies! (LA LAAAAAA!!!,) Over-and-a-round - us-liiiiiies! (la-LAA-LAA!) or
This - ourgen - tlehymmmmmmmmn...(tra-lala-lalaaa! goes the piano)...of praaaaaaai - hey - hey - haiiiiise!!!

I really hope the "Curlz MT" typeface comes through on your computers!
