Happy Sunday all. May the grace of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ be with you all.

There are a lot of great christian hymns and songs which defines the Christian way of life,the beliefs and d ultimate reason and destination for following Jesus and staying in tune with God through life's sojourn.

Which Christian hymn or song do you think clearly represents and captures the total essence and foundation of our Christian faith. Please share. For me I choose this

"In Christ Alone"

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'l stand.

Blessed Assurance Jesus is mine.

It's Not An Easy Road
By J. W. Peterson


Verse 1
It’s not an easy road
We are trav’ling to heaven,
For many are the thorns on the way;
It’s not an easy road,
But the Savior is with us,
His presence gives us joy ev’ry day.


Chorus
No, no, it’s not an easy road,
No, no, it’s not an easy road;
But Jesus walks beside me
And brightens the journey,
And lightens ev’ry heavy load.


Verse 2
It’s not an easy road
There are trials and troubles
And many are the dangers we meet;
But Jesus guards and keeps
So that nothing can harm us,
And smooths the rugged path for our feet.


Chorus
No, no, it’s not an easy road,
No, no, it’s not an easy road;
But Jesus walks beside me
And brightens the journey,
And lightens ev’ry heavy load.


Verse 3
Tho’ I am often footsore
And weary from travel,
Tho’ I am often bowed down with care,
Well a better day is coming
When home in the glory
We’ll rest in perfect peace over there.


Chorus

No, no, it’s not an easy road,
No, no, it’s not an easy road;
But Jesus walks beside me
And brightens the journey,
And lightens ev’ry heavy load.

Wonderful story of love.

"My Hope is Built on Nothing Less"
by Edward Mote, 1797-1874
1. 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.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

2. When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

3. His oath, His covenant, and blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne!
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

Jesus Loves Even Me



(1) I am so glad that my Father in heaven

Tells of His love in the Book He has given;

Wonderful things in the Bible I see-

This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.



CHORUS:

I am so glad that Jesus loves me,

Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me;

I am so glad that Jesus loves me,

Jesus loves even me.



(2) Though I forget Him and wander away,

Still Jesus loves me wherever I stray;

Back to His dear loving arms I would flee,

When I remember that Jesus loves me.



(3) O if there's only one song I can sing,

When in His beauty I see the great King,

This shall my song in eternity be:

"O, what a wonder that Jesus loves me

My faith looks up to thee
Thou Lamb of Calvary
Saviour,divine
Now hear me while I pray
Take all my guilt away


Complete am Op

There are so many hymns with deep meanings reflecting the seasons or our mood. But I'll go for these 3 hymns.

My hope is built on nothing less.
The old rugged cross.
The great physician now is here.

hold the fort for i am coming its inspirational

. 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 pride.

2. 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.

3. See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown.

4. Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were an offering far too small;
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.

Only the bible does.... No hymn does

Its In Christ alone
See a video of myself singing the hymn

Amazing grace captures it for me. Followed by how great thou art

That hymn is pretty heavy and it's theology is seem like once saved always saved.

Old Rugged Cross

there is none in particular. All are for the edification of the body of Christ

Thou my everlasting portion. Fanny J Crosby.

Thou my everlasting Portion,
More than friend or life to me,
All along my pilgrim journey,
Savior, let me walk with Thee.

    Close to Thee, close to Thee,
    Close to Thee, close to Thee;
    All along my pilgrim journey,
      Savior, let me walk with Thee.

Not for ease or worldly pleasure,
Not for fame my prayer shall be;
Gladly will I toil and suffer,
Only let me walk with Thee.

    Close to Thee, close to Thee,
    Close to Thee, close to Thee;
    Gladly will I toil and suffer,
      Only let me walk with Thee.

Lead me through the vale of shadows,
Bear me o'er life's fitful sea;
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter, Lord, with Thee.

    Close to Thee, close to Thee,
    Close to Thee, close to Thee;
    Then the gate of life eternal
      May I enter, Lord, with Thee.

Thanks sir for this inspiration, God bless you

Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod,
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?
Refrain:
Yes, we’ll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.
On the margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will talk and worship ever,
All the happy golden day.
Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we every burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown.
At the smiling of the river,
Mirror of the Savior’s face,
Saints, whom death will never sever,
Lift their songs of saving grace.
Soon we’ll reach the silver river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.


1. Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll?
Where in all the bright forever,
Sorrow ne'er shall press the soul?
Refrain:
Shall we meet, shall we meet,
Shall we meet beyond the river?
Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll?
2 Shall we meet in that blest harbor
When our stormy voyage is o'er?
Shall we meet and cast the anchor
By the fair, celestial shore? [Refrain]
3 Shall we meet in yonder city,
Where the tow'rs of crystal shine,
Where the walls are all of jasper,
Built by workmanship divine?— [Refrain]
4 Shall we meet with Christ our Saviour,
When He comes to claim His own?
Shall we know his blessed favor,
And sit down upon His throne? [Refrain]

1. Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!
E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

2. Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
darkness be over me, my rest a stone;
yet in my dreams I'd be
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

3. There let the way appear, steps unto heaven;
all that thou sendest me, in mercy given;
angels to beckon me
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

4. Then, with my waking thoughts bright with thy
praise,
out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise;
so by my woes to be
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

5. Or if, on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

I have no doubt in my mind that it is this song: JESUS ONLY IS OUR MESSAGE (1 Cor. 2:2) by Albert B. Simpson


Jesus only is our message,
Jesus all our theme shall be,
We will lift up Jesus ever,
Jesus only will we see.


Jesus only, Jesus ever,
Jesus all in all we sing;
Saviour, Sanctifier, Healer,
Baptizer and coming King.


Jesus only is our Savior,
All our guilt He bore away,
All our righteousness He gives us,
All our streght from day to day.


Jesus is our Sanctifier,
Cleasing us from self and sin,
And with all His Spirit's fulness,
Filling all our heart's within.


Jesus only is our Healer,
All our sicknesses He bare,
And His risen fulness,
All His members still may share.


Jesus only is our Power,
His the gift of Pentecost,
Jesus, breathe Thy power upon us,
Fill us with the Holy Ghost.


And for Jesus we are waiting,
Listening for the Trumpet's sound,
Then it will be us and Jesus,
Living ever with our God.

Jesus is ALL IN ALL, and that is the whole essence of Christianity.

Praise be to God.
