My father has the book, I believe it is of a Mennonite persuasion, and here is how it actually looks on the page.

A quick glance at your title reminded me of "loud-boiling test tubes" (I think it is from Earth and All Stars, but if might be from something else I don't sing).
Those of us who can't read music notice the words!
Ixnay! I was going to use that example for Tacky Hymns 2!
