#586: This Is a Day, Lord, Gladly Awaited

Does this song have a heterosexist paradigm?

Nope! It's just about "two whom we cherish," as opposed to the other song in this section, which is about "this Christian man and woman."

Not even assuming Christianity? That's a little vague.

I mean, it's addressed to Lord, starting in the first line.

"The" other song?

Yeah, we're through Marriage already! All two songs of it! That wasn't so bad, now. I mean, lots of posts have been delayed because I got exhausted and didn't have energy, and I'm sure lots more will be in the future, so who knows about that whole schedule thing. But this section is very brief.

Why is it even its own section?

Don't know. I think it was longer in the predecessor hymnal, but those were maybe too heterosexist too.

Edit: wait, did you just skip #585? I can't find it.

...apparently so.

Welp, we're only halfway through this section, I guess, I'll try to remember to include it the next time around!
