Site Changes, July, 1998
What's New?
- 7/31/98
- Our planned mid-week update got sidetracked by the opportunity to prepare this
weeks "feature," which is:
The Music of Mark Graham
Here are 5 of Mark's songs, including one new one.
- For those who have not yet had a chance to hear any of Mark's songs, we think you'll
see why his music is so popular in UCG. We hope you like these songs as much as we do.

The
Heavens God's Glory Do Declare (with new music)

time they had been members of CGI. They have not not ever been affiliated with CGI.

Some cleanup in the Hymnals section.
These entries in the hymnal indexes did not have the song, only
the words from the Scottish Psalter on which they were based.
The tunes to these have been added to the respective Tune Lists
so that you can try them with the words to other Psalms in
The Workshop.

God, By Thy Great Name
