As a senior adult, I love the old hymns, but am coming to the realization that all those were once "new", and some folks probably didn't like them.
My church has two services, the early service for traditional hymns and the later for contemporary songs. However, I don't believe they are mutually exclusive. A mixture of both would be ideal. That would let us older persons enjoy the old hymns and at least be tolerant of some of the new songs until they become established and acceptable to all, and the younger generation would get to hear the great hymns and come to appreciate them.
