Oh Vic~ I am so with you in this~
How I love the hymns, I have a small collection of old hymnals. I love to read them, and wish one day to sing them to our Lord in heaven... I got to church late, just 15 years ago... so my experience of worship tends to be modern.
But the hymns are filled with great adoration love to our Lord! I have many many favorites... I'll Fly Away, The Old Rugged Cross, Nothing But The Blood, More Love to Thee, Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, He lives, It is Well with my Soul, Jesus is Calling, When we all Get to Heaven, Pass me not By, Rock of Ages, It is No Secret, My Redeemer Lives!...
Less known but so beautiful in words... Living for Jesus, Faith of our Fathers, Deeper Deeper, Take Time to be Holy, Greater Grace than our Sin, "Are Ye Able" said the Master, Speak Lord in the Stillness, Son of My Soul, Day by Day... gosh I could fill pages. :crazy
And we will have eternity to kiss toward the Son with our worship and praise! :shades
Here's what I call a new hymn... current day.
