Thanks for sharing some about “The Supplement”. When I started meeting with TLR in late 1978, The Supplement already existed and was used, but it fell out of favor vs “Hymns” for the better part of a decade as Witness Lee spoke against some of its songs after Max Rappaport exited; but many of its songs were added to the back of Hymns by the mid-1980’s and gradually saw increased use in meetings again.

I recall that Dan Toule (spelling?), then an elder in Fullerton, had penned a song or two (maybe more) that took popular hymns and altered them to fit things Witness Lee had spoken “How Small Thou Art” from “How Great Thou Art” comes to mind.

Any other LC “old timers” care to add more?
