Okay so what about some favorite hymns?

Here are verses from William Kelly's 'Praise the Savior, Ye who know Him'.

"Keep us, Lord, O keep us cleaving
To Thyself and still believing
Till the hour of our receiving
Promised joys in heaven.

Then we shall be where we would be,
Then we shall be what we should be,
Things which are not now, nor could be,
Then shall be our own."
 
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,
casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,
though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see,
only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
perfect in power, in love and purity.

A great classic, yes.

We sing this regularly in our local church.

Blessings.

Amazing grace, as a hymn, is...amazing...
 
Another of my favorites is "Pass Me Not O Gentle Savior."




Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

  • Refrain:
    Savior, Savior,
    Hear my humble cry,
    While on others Thou art calling,
    Do not pass me by.
Let me at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief.

Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.


I particularly like the passion black gospel groups give it sometimes, something you can hear in southern black churches, even in AME church up here in the north.

 
Hi, I really like the theme, Let one's words be few. There's a Scripture that says as much; in the Old Testament.

Blessings.
It is not an old song but we sang it in our Church.I don't know if you can actually call it a "hymn".
 
"Know that the Lord is God indeed,
Without our help He did us make,
We are His flock, He doth us feed,
And for His sheep He doth us take."

Scottish Psalter, based on Psalm 100.
 
...and all of grace alone, right? (Ephesians 2.8&9) :)

Blessings.
Yes,and eternity is never ending.That is amazing to just think about.Ever been somewhere or doing something that was so great you never wanted it to end?Well there you go :)
 
'When we've been there ten thousand years...', eh? :)

Blessings.

Better is One Day

How lovely is Your dwelling place Oh Lord Almighty,
For my soul longs And even faints For You
Oh, here my heart Is satisfied (is satisfied) Within Your presence
I sing beneath The shadow of Your wings

Chorus
Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere
Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere
(Than thousands elsewhere)

One thing I ask, And I would seek, To see Your beauty
To find You in The place Your glory dwells
(One thing I ask)
One thing I ask And I would seek, To see Your beauty
To find You in The place Your glory dwells

Chorus x2

(My heart and flesh cry out)
My heart and flesh cry out For You, the Living God
Your Spirit's water for my soul
I've tasted, and I've seen Come once again to me
I will draw near to You I will draw near to You
To You

Better is one day
Better is one day
Better is one day
Than thousands elsewhere
Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere
