What are some of your favorite hymns?

I also am a big fan of contemporary Christian music. We have an awesome praise and worship team at our church also. We do mostly new praise and worship music. Whenever I visit my brother and go to church with him, they still sing the old hymns and that is nice sometimes to. I would have to say that my favorite old hymns are "Amazing Grace", "I Come to the Garden", and I love to hear Elvis sing "How Great Thou Art". I have a CD that someone gave me several years ago that has the song "Softly and Tenderly" on it and that is also a beautiful song. Be Blessed!

The church I attended worships with contemporary Christian music. I like it. I also like some of the old hymns. "He Lives", "Amazing Grace", "Old Rugged Cross" are a few favorites.

When I was 12 years old I walked into this church for midnight Mass one Christmas and the choir sang Handel's Halleleuhiah ( I can't get the word right here ) Chorus and it was magnificent.
I've never forgotten it and have yearned for it ever since.
Its the best ever if you do hear it.

Hi there rocketj1

At present I don't attend church for a few reasons, but that's another discussion. One of my favourites I have enjoyed singing in the past was 'Onward Christian Soldiers'.

Our church also does primarily contemporary Christian songs. And while I enjoy them, I miss doing some hymns now and again. I LOVE "How Great Thou Art", "It is Well With My Soul" (not sure that's the title tho), "Old Rugged Cross" and of course "Amazing Grace". I love the harmonies that you can do with these songs. I love the emotion that comes from them. Wouldn't want to do all hymns all the time, but I'd love to see more mixed in the list!

wow!! I like these hymns too. There are a lot of hymns that I like. What a Friend We have in Jesus, Trust and Obey, I would Be Like Jesus, Marching to Zion, I am Thine O Lord and many more. Those are some that We usually sing when we have our church service. I love to sing too and I joined our church choir. It is interesting and uplifting to be a part of the church worship. Have a nice day.

My favorite hymn has to be Amazing Grace. I also like Nearer My God to thee. I love praise songs by Delirious but my absolute favorite songs to sing is by a woman named Heather Clark. She has many cd's out and she and her husband founded a church in a city about 5 hours from where I live in BC Canada. She has a real heart for people and her songs are just great. Her and a group of them at one time would pick a psalm to all read and pray for inspiration and then they would meet in the city the next day and just start singing and worshiping having nothing planned. God moved in mighty ways! She has 2 cd's strictly just taken out of the psalms. She has other cds that you can tell are so lead by the holy spirit. You can go to heatherclarkband.com to check it out.

Rock of Ages. Oh there are so many. It has been great reading through these.

I dont have any stories to tell that are associated with them. Although the church that I occasionally attend for soem reason only do the old hymns. I think my favorites would have to include Victory in Jesus, As well as Amaing Grace and when we all get to heaven, and old rugged cross. I know that there are many more that i truly like but I cant think of them right at the moment. Also I know that I need to attend church more. i do not know or cant think of a reason why I have not been in awhile.

My favorite hymn is "A Mighty Fortress is My God," and my favorite contemporary hymm is "Our God is an Amazing God," I have other favorites such as "Amazing Grace", that Harvest Home hymn and "Oh God our Help in Ages Past"- I think they sang it when the Titanic was sinking. I love the old hymns and I also like the Psalms especially that Psalm 23 from the Scottish Psalter. And I do love the Christmas hymns but it is not Christmas yet.
