The Mozart hymn from The Magic Flute and Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing are the two hymns that I miss the most from the old hymnal. I've even heard the Tabernacle Choir do the latter one in General Conference after it was removed from our hymnal. I wish they would put it back in. It is the hymn that I whistle under my breath sometimes all day long. John W.
