Purehuman:


This verse reminds of my childhood. Seriously, I missed those old days. There was this sweetness in being young and godly. As I read through this hymn, I just pictured where I used to sit in church and the people around me at the time.

Things have changed and life is moving so fast that we don't get to fully enjoy the moment.
Yea. Things have rapidly degenerated especially in Christianity. The calmness of services and the joy it brings has been wiped away by the noise and disorderliness that pervades our churches these days

GOD OF MERCY AND COMPASSION
VERSE 1 God of mercy and compassion, Look with pity upon me; Father, let me call thee Father, Tis thy child returns to thee.
CHORUS Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, Let me not implore in vain; All my sins I now detest them, Never will I sin again.
VERSE 2 By my sins I have deserved, Death and endless misery; Hell with all its pains and torments, And for all eternity.
VERSE 3 By my sins I have abandoned, Right and claim to heaven above; Where the saint rejoice forever, In a boundless sea of love.
VERSE 4 See our Saviour, bleeding, dying, On the Cross of Calvary; To that Cross my sins have nailed him, Yet he bleeds and dies for me.

Lead us heavenly father lead us
o'er this world tempestuous sea
Guide us, guard us
Keep us, feed us
For we have no help but thee
yet possessing every blessing
If our God our father be
Amen

vs.1 All the way my Savior leads me; What have I to ask beside? Can I doubt His tender mercy, Who through life has been my Guide? Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort, Here by faith in Him to dwell! For I know, whate’er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well; For I know, whate’er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well.

Mine are two songs.
first

Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
T'was blind but now I see

I love this hymn so much because of the story behind it, how slaves were shipped and how the captain of the ship was saved from perpetrating the evils of slavery.


the second


The Great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to
cheer,
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus!
Sweetest note in seraph song;
Sweetest name on mortal
tongue;
Sweetest carol ever sung:
Jesus, blessed Jesus!


I love this hymn a lot because it comfort me when I'm down.

1. On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suff’ring and shame;
And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Refrain:
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it someday for a crown.

2. Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.

3. In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me

4. To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.

Fading away like the stars of the morning, Losing their light in the glorious sun— Thus would we pass from the earth and its toiling, Only remembered by what we have done. Refrain Only remembered, only remembered, Only remembered by what we have done; Thus would we pass from the earth and its toiling, Only remembered by what we have done.

God is with us, God is with us,
So our brave forefathers sang,
Far across the field of battle
Loud their holy war cry rang;
Though at times they feared and faltered,
Never once they ceased to sing:
God is with us, God is with us,
Christ our Lord shall reign as King!

But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,

The greatest song ever written
God bless u. This song is the greatest communion hymn ever. It just humbles me and it's like I'm telling God I am not worthy, I am a sinner but he tells me to come to him and indeed I come. Great great hymn. I was hoping it wud be on the first page and here it is. God bless u

When peace like a River attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot..thou hath taught me to know
It is well
It is well
With my soul


Jara

My other best hymn is 'oh the love of the lord is the essence but its verse three that makes me cry..

There’ve been times when I’ve turned from his presence,
and I’ve walked other paths, other ways.
But I’ve called on his name in the dark of my shame,
and his mercy was gentle as silence.

I need no other argument
I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died
And that he died for me


Only me today I have 4 FTC on front page. I wish this thing comes with monetary reward. But no Seun will never dash anybody N1.
Anyway this is a sign of better things to come. Just shower me with some likes and I'll be Ok

Finally you can be sure that most youths born from 1990 upwards cannot relate or know these wonderful hymns that were inspired by God through the writers and that inspired some of us while growing up.
Pls let us not allow these hymns to be lost in our Christian journey especially in this era of Pentecostal churches where noise and uninspiring and worldly songs has taken over the music ministry



It is I need no other evidence not I need no other argument. Argument ko, argument ni.

Mine is

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer


This is the hymn that usually melts my heart whenever I hear it being sung especially during Holy Communion. It goes like this:
Sweet Sacrament divine,
Hid in your earthly home,
Lo! round your lowly shrine,
With suppliant hearts we come,
Jesus, to you our voice we raise,
In songs of love and heartfelt praise,
Sweet Sacrament divine (2x).

The Church’s one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation
By water and the Word:
From heav’n He came and sought her
To be His holy Bride;
With His own blood He bought her,
And for her life He died.


2 Elect from every nation,
Yet one o’er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation,
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy Name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.


3 ’Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace for evermore;
Till, with the vision glorious,
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.


4 Yet she on earth hath union
With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
Like them, the meek and lowly,
In love may dwell with Thee.
