From Aardvark Alley - Apparently the original version.
Today marks the heavenly birthday of Bede (pronounced BĒD). Since his commemoration often falls near the end of Eastertide, it's quite likely that many Christians have close familiarity with one of Bede's best known (and one of this Aardvark's favorite) hymns, the Ascension anthem "A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing."
Bede (673-735) was the last of the early church fathers and the first to compile the history of the English church.

Today our Synod commemorates the Venerable Bede. Be sure to check out the Treasury on page 1299. Here's some info from Synod's website (also listed in Treasury):

Does anyone know what this Treasury is? Everyone seems to be dipping in without leaving an I.O.U.

GJ - The lifeless robotic copying serves little good. Copycats do not learn anything. They just pass on what they found, mindlessly, effortlessly.
Apart from tickling the Smells and Bells crowd, what good does it do? I can picture the chapel service with everyone nodding solemnly about Venerable Bede. "Great hymn. Favorite. We need more like him."
A synod that cannot teach justification by faith should not be digressing into obscure history. They should look at the real history of their own founder, Martin Stephan STD, and his enforcer, C. F. W. Walther.
