Glad to know you love it too. I can't get enough of it.

Oh lord my God,when i in awesome wonder ,consider all thy works thy hands has made,i see the stars i hear the rolling thunder thy power through all the universe display.

(Chorus
Then sing my soul
my saviour God to the
how great thou art.
How great thou art,art ,art
then sing my soul my savior God to the how great thou art
how great thou art.

This song connect me to heaven

Adventist I know say una full here well well

I was using this tread to share the story associated with some of the popular hymns we sing in church and before you could say Jack, i was BANNED.

I'm glad to be back but i think its somehow harsh to BAN me for anti-spam reason when the MOD has not even gone through my post because if the MOD did, HE/SHE would have found it interesting and educative.


That wont stop me from posting more hymn story for the enlightenment of all Christians who are lovers of hymns.....expect more hymn story soonest

Samakinr:
...I love it too....it's really a spiritual song.

as like it draws me near to God.

Mine is :
Hymn 296
Guide me oh though great Redeemer,
Pilgrim through this barren land,
I am weak but though art mighty,
Hold with thine powerful hands.

Chorus
Strong redeemer, strong redeemer,
Be thou still my strenght and shield,
Be though still my strenght and shield.

etc.

With my saviour ever near to guide me
I am safe whatever may betide me
From the storms and tempest He will hide me
In the hollow of His hands

In the hollow of His hands
In the hollow of His hands
I am safe whatever may betide
In the hollow of His hands.

Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love
The fellowship of kindred mind
Is like to that above....

.........

When we asunder part
It gives us inward pain
........

God give us Christian homes
Home where the Bible is loved and taught
Homes where the Master's will is sought
Homes crowned with beauty thy love has wrought
God give us Christian homes
God give us Christian homes

Count your blessings name them one by one.


Are you ever borderned with a load of care?
Does the cross seems heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessing wealth can ever buy
........

FAITH OF OUR FATHERS
Faith of our fathers living still, inspite of dungeon, fire and sword, oh how our heart beat high with joy whenever we hear the glorious word0

faith of our fathers
holy faith
we will be true to thee till death.

Noneroone: Thats my best hymn!
Not forgetting:
just as i am, breathe on me, all creatures of our God and king, hark the herald angel sing, o come let us adore him (and other ones for Chrismas) They are endless!

exactly, many of the Christmas and wedding hymns are superb as well as anthems

Thanks for all the beautiful hymns. God bless you all

IT PAYS TO SERVE JESUS, I SPEAK FROM MY HEART

It pays to serve Jesus, I speak from my heart,
He'll always be with us, if we do our part
There's naught in this wide world can pleasure afford;
There's peace and contentment in serving the Lord.

CHORUS
I love Him far better than in days of yore
I'll serve Him more truly than ever before,
I'll do as He bids me, whatever the cost,
I'll be a true soldier, I'll die at my post.

And oft when I'm tempted to turn from the track,
I think of my Saviour, my mind wanders back
To the place where they nailed Him on Calvary's tree.
I heard a voice saying, "I suffered for thee."

A place I remember where I was set free,
'Twas where I found pardon, a heaven to me.
There Jesus spoke sweetly to my weary soul,
My sins were forgiven, He made my heart whole.

How rich is the blessing the world cannot give,
I'm satisfied fully for Jesus to live;
Though friends may forsake me and trial arise,
I am trusting Jesus, His love never dies.

There is no one like Jesus can cheer me today.
His love and His kindness can ne'er fade away,
In winter and summer, in sunshine and rain,
His love and affection are always the same.

Will you have this blessing that Jesus bestows,
A free full salvation from sin's bitter throes?
O come to the Saviour, to Calvary flee,
The fountain is opened, is flowing for thee

This song brought tears to my eyes this past Sunday... and I'm a man who greatly controls his emotions.

MzMariah: In Thanksgiving and love.

O yes in the presence of the Lord,
I will bring my gifts
In thanksgiving and love
There is joy in my heart
It is flowing like a river, in will praise the Lord
In Thanksgiving and love.

God our father everlasting king
please accept there gift we offer
In Thanksgiving and love
Take our bread upon the alter
And the wine in the chalice
In Thanksgiving and love.

With thankful heart and joyful voices
we approach your holy alter
In Thanksgiving and love
Take our bread upon the altar
In Thanksgiving and love
Bearing gifts of your creation
we return what you have given
In Thanksgiving and love.

To you father, now we offer
With the host and with the chalice
In Thanksgiving and love
All we have and all our being
In this sacrifice most holy
In Thanksgiving and love.

I have found a friend in Jesus he's everything to me
He is the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
He's the lily of the valley the bright and morning star.......

"I want to stroll over heaven with you" , "'Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus". Alan Jackson did a reprise of many hymns in his "Preciouse Memories" album but those two tracks takes the cake for me, I get goosebumps listening to them

O God, you know my rest and waking, When I lie down and when I rise anew. You search my thought, my inmost inclination, The words I speak, the ways I walk, You know them too. You saw when I was made in secret, My very bones not hidden from your sight. You saw my form; its parts were down in writing. I praise the wonder of your ways, Extol your might. Your knowledge, God, is wondrous, fear-inspiring; Of this my soul is very well aware. If I should fear that darkness might enfold me, Your spirit, God, would find me, even there. Where could I hide from you, Jehovah, Or be concealed, be hidden from your face? Not in the heights nor in the depth of Sheol, Not in the dark nor in the sea, there is no place.",(Psalm 139) my best for the morning

A&M 395

Verse 1
And now, O Father, mindful of that love,
That bought us once, for all, on Calvary's tree,
And having with us, him, that pleads above,
We here present, we here spread forth to thee,
That only Offering perfect in thine eyes,
That one, true, pure, immortal sacrifice.

Amen.
