Discussion on Changing Lyrics of Hymns

Today I belatedly joined a moribund discussion in a moribund Facebook group, here, and made some comments about “changing the words” that I would love to get feedback on. Here or there…

    I agree with you that there are good reasons for changing the words, but it can be confusing. One oft changed hymn that comes to mind is “Come Thou Fount” I have several recordings of this hymn and each one had slightly different words. Makes it hard to sing along. Also, for sentimental reasons, I tend to prefer the versions I grew up with, which are often different from the originals since I grew up Arminian.
