St Columba - Feast of, 2007

It was on the Feast of St. Columba (June 9), 2007 that we at Sinden.org noticed a remarkable numerological coincidence involving the hymns set to the tune named after him.

In the 1940 Hymnal, "The King of love" is 345.

In the 1982 Hymnal, it's 645.

Both hymn numbers end in 45. Columba died in 597.

597 - (45*2) = 507

Hymn numbers 345 and 645 are separated by three hundred.

507 - 300 = 207

The two hymnals bear dates 42 years apart:

207 - (42 * 2) = 123.

123 represents the first three scale degrees of the tune ST. COLUMBA.

1    2    3    4    5 
The_____  King of   Love

Additionally, "King of Love" rests on scale degrees "345" the same hymn number as found in the 1940.

He likes to read parking meters, music, Texas Monthly and weather forecasts in Celcius, particularly whilst wearing cassock and surplice. He serves lasagna, overhand, as an example to many and on ecclesiastical juries. He takes photos, lots of dinner mints, and a little bit of time to get to know.
