Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. SOLVE THE PUZZLE TO GET THE CORRECT COORDINATES.

This cache is placed with the permission.  You may need a TOTT, but be very respectful of the place where the cache is located.  Use great care in removing and replacing the cache.  The cache can be easily broken.  Watch out for neighboring muggles!  AND do not attempt this cache during obvious times of the week.

You will need to understand a little hymnology to solve this cache.  It isn’t difficult, but it will take you time to do the research.

“A hymn meter or metre indicates the number of syllables for the lines in each stanza of a hymn. This provides a means of marrying the hymn's text with an appropriate hymn tune for singing.”  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meter_(hymn).

Solve the following puzzle to come up with a number that is found in the named hymn’s meter.  Use the most obvious number.  HINT:  You will have numbers from 0-9 when you have solved the puzzle.

A  _____  Joyful Christmas Day Is Here  (2nd digit of the Teen number)

B  _____  Praise our God Above  (Chinese Tune)           

C  _____  O Sons and Daughters, Let Us Sing

D  _____  Jesus Loves Me

E  _____  Calvary (African American Spiritual)

F  _____  De Tierra Lejana Venimos (The even digit.)

G  _____  Let Every Christian Pray

H  _____  Infant Holy, Infant Lowly  (The number occurs 8 times in the meter or in some cases you will have to divide the even digit by 2 to get the right number.)

I  _____  Away In The Manger

J  _____  God of the Ages, Whose Almighty Hand  (Guess ... it should be the only number left.)

FINAL CACHE is located at:  N = HI IA.IDC   W = JEG AD.DHE
