DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leonard Ravenhill humorously critiques the rendition of the hymn 'And
Can It Be,' expressing his disappointment after hearing it sung poorly
for many years. He imagines that Charles Wesley, the hymn's author,
would be turning in his grave at the lack of reverence and quality in
the performance. Ravenhill's remarks serve as a reminder of the
importance of honoring the legacy of great hymns through sincere
worship.

Well, I've heard that hymn, And Can It Be, for at least 70 years of my
long life. I've never heard it sung worse than tonight. Terrible.

I'd imagine Charles Wesley turned over in his grave.
