“Very inspirational.”
6. List five of your favorite hymns for ordinary time (i.e., not the Christmas or Easter seasons).

The numbers with H after them are the hymn numbers in the 1982 Hymnal; those with WLP after them are in the “Wonder Love and Praise” hymnal which is an addendum to the 1982 Hymnal. Those hymns with no hymn number are ones from other books and are inserted in the Sunday bulletin when they are sung.
