[Dixielandjazz] Hymns at a church service

[Steve Heist]

Kevin,
ONE more GREAT song by Harry Chapin is called "I Wonder What Would Happen To 
This World".  It's on YouTube at:

It starts with one slow chorus then starts to take off...
The lyrics are at:

It's a POWERFUL song!  and perfect for a trad band...

My band has been asked to play at a local Lutheran church on All Saints Day 
(Nov 04). Along with When The Saints we will be playing all of the other 
music for the service as well. I am trying to identify hymns in their hymnal 
or other well known hymns that will work in a trad jazz style that the 
congregation can sing along with. I have identified What a Friend We Have in 
Jesus and Just a Closer Walk With Thee. Unfortunately I am drawing blanks 
beyond that.

We also need lesser known tunes or tunes that don't work as well for the 
singing to be played during the prelude. I see This World is Not my Home and 
Just A Little While to Stay Here as working well there.

Any other thoughts, input or suggestions will be greatly appreciated,
