Hi Lloyd,

It is Well (with my soul) is my favorite. The lyrics are very deep and meaningful. The melody is so sweet too.

Check this out:

Scroll down to read the history of the lyrics. It will bring tears to your eyes.

Another fave of mine isn't as old, but it's SO simple and beautiful:

Glorify Thy Name

Hi farouk,

When I first became a Christian, I never sang any of the old hymns because the church I went to sang modern worship songs. I didn't start singing the old hymns until about 6 years after becoming a Christian. I noticed that though some of the music can be not as up beat, it really is the theology that draws you in. Many of the modern hymns or songs are great, but you can't replace the old hymns with the modern.

I agree that those that have sound, Biblical content and are well-written will stand the test of time. There is indeed a great heritage of sound hymns in the English language. Some of the great hymns of the faith have been sung for generations and are truly memorable.

My absolute favorite 'old' song: "Amazing Grace" ... it's timeless, says it all ... is always moving .... and every time we've been blessed to sing it during service, numerous people have to wipe their eyes ... it's beautiful and a blessing
 
Here are some of my favorite ones:
It Is Well With My Soul - as mentioned by others, I also really like the story behind it.
What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Jesus Paid It All
Blessed Assurance

Lol, someone asked me how many Matt Redman songs will churches be singing in two hundred years time...?
John and Charles Wesley, anyone?

Matt Redman is great, but you can't beat:

And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain—
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
