Sea of Reeds! It's the Sea of Reeds!

Anyways, yes, new songs are important, but for more than precious memories and emotional titillation. They are acts praising God and songs of thanks to Him. Also, and why old hymns are important is that, like the Psalms, they are personal testimonies of what God is personally doing in personal ways in Believers personal lives. (I listen to a bunch on Pandora like "Talking to Jesus.")
