What's Your Favourite Christian Hymn? Drop A Stanza by dein77(m): 1:08pm On Oct 27, 2014
I have scores of beautiful Christian Hymns, but none comes near this: MY FAITH HAS FOUND A RESTING PLACE.

See a stanza:

My faith has found a resting place
Not in device or creed;
I trust the ever-living One
His wound for me shall plead.

Chorus:

I need no other argument,
I need no other plea;
It us enough that Jesus died,
And that He died for me.

It bring tears to my eyes. It reminds me of Christ's complete and and finished sacrifice for me at Calvary.

Pls drop yours. Hymns have their special place in worship. Shalom!

Oh Jesus I have promised, to serve thee to the end
Be thou forever near me, my master and my friend
I shall not fear the battle, if thou art by my side
Nor wander from the pathway,
If thou will be my guide

Wow. It's one of my favourites. Let me drop a stanza for you:

Principalities and powers,
Mustering their unseen array;
Wait for thy unguarded hour
Watch and pray.


May God help us to be watchful and prayerful.

It's derived from ancient and modern 262 used by anglicans.it's really a touching hymn which asudan posted because the composer was referring to the coming of Christ after much suffering on earth by men

Thy rule, O Christ, begin
Break with thine Iron rod
The tyrannies of sin
Let finish it for him
2 Where is thy reign of peace
And purity and love?
When shall all hatred cease,
As in the above?

3. When comes the promised time
That war shall be no more,
And lust,oppression,crime
Shall flee thy face before?

4 We pray thee,Lord arise,
And come in thy great might;
Revive our longing eyes,
Which languish for thy sight

5 Men scorn thy scared name,
And wolves devour thy fold;
By many deeds of shame
We learn that love grows cold

6 O'er hearthen lands afar
Thick darkness broodeth yet:
Arise , O morning star,
Arise, and never set!

Used to assist my Assembly prefect back in sec school days. Hence I know a good number of Hymns.

I love hymns generally, but this particular song suddenly became one of my favorite when my late dad was on the sick in January 2014, and he sang it so loudly that everyone could here him.

I cant remember the title in english, but permit mi to write the yoruba version:

Ore-ofe, ohun,
Adun ni l'eti wa,
Gbohun gbohun re y'o gba orun kan
Aye y'o gbo pelu

Ore-ofe sha
N'igbekele mi
Jesu ku fun ara'ye
O ku fun

When I survey, the wondrous cross
on which the prince of glory died
my richest gain, I count but loss
and pour contempt on all my p pour pride.



Usually taken during communion. I love this hymn.

A very solemn and humbling Hymn.

Pls permit me to add a stanza:

Forbid it Lord that I should boast'
Save in the death of Christ my God;
All the vain things that charm me most'
I sacrifice them to His blood....

Christ the solid Rock I stand.
My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus' blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus' name.

Re: What's Your Favourite Christian Hymn? Drop A Stanza by ukotmi: 8:56am On Oct 31, 2014
Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great Name we praise.

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.

Composed by Walter Smith. The hymn celebrates the supremacy of God. I love the hymn.

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?

’Tis mystery all: th’Immortal dies:
Who can explore His strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
To sound the depths of love divine.
’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
Let angel minds inquire no more.
’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore;
Let angel minds inquire no more.

Composed by Charles Wesley. I soar with the hymn

Mine is
Oh Jesus I Have Promise.

This is my favourite verse.
O let me see thy footmarks
And in them plant mine own;
My hope to follow duly
Is in thy strength alone,
O guide me, call me, draw me,
Uphold me to the end;
And then in heaven receive me,
My master and my freind.



Jesus!!!!!!!!!!! I love you lord.

Mine favourite verse is:

Oh let me feel Thee near me,
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear;
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But Jesus draw Thou nearer,
And shield my soul from sin.

When am singing any of this hymns I like doing it gently just to diegest each word.

Oh Jesus, thou hast promised
To all who follow thee,
That where thou art in glory,
There shall thy servant be;
And,Jesus I have promised
To serve thee to thy end;
Oh give me the grace to follow,
My master and my friend.
