Favorite Hymns

[onefour1]

I love hymns. What is your favorite hymn? Here is one I like:



These are the words:

Teach Me to Walk in the Light

1. Teach me to walk in the light of his love;
Teach me to pray to my Father above;
Teach me to know of the things that are right;
Teach me, teach me to walk in the light.

2. Come, little child, and together we'll learn
Of his commandments, that we may return
Home to his presence, to live in his sight
Always, always to walk in the light.

3. Father in Heaven, we thank thee this day
For loving guidance to show us the way.
Grateful, we praise thee with songs of delight!
Gladly, gladly we'll walk in the light.

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

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come.
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home,
And grace will lead us home

Amazing grace, Howe Sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
T'was blind but now I see

Was blind, but now I see.

Shackled by a heavy burden,
'Neath a load of guilt and shame.
Then the hand of Jesus touched me,
And now I am no longer the same.

He touched me, Oh He touched me,
And oh the joy that floods my soul!
Something happened and now I know,
He touched me and made me whole.

Since I met this blessed Savior,
Since He cleansed and made me whole,
I will never cease to praise Him,
I'll shout it while eternity rolls.

He touched me, Oh He touched me,
And oh the joy that floods my soul!
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and made me whole.

Gethsemane

Jesus Climbed the hill
To the Garden still
His steps were heavy and slow
Love and prayer
Took him there
To the place only He could go

Gethsemane...Jesus loves me
So He went willingly
To Gethsemane

He felt all that was sad
Wicked or bad
All the pain we would ever know
While His friends were asleep
He fought to keep
His promise made long ago

Gethsemane...Jesus loves me
So He went willingly
To Gethsemane

The hardest thing that ever was done
The greatest pain that ever was felt
The biggest battle that ever was won
This was done by Jesus
The fight was won by Jesus

Gethsemane...Jesus loves me
So He gave his gift to me
In Gethsemane

Gethsemane...Jesus loves me
So He gave his gift to me
From Gethsemane

Amazing Grace
(I've posted Al's version, but Mahalia's and Whitney's are right there with it and, IMO, famous enough that I posted Al's to give him some props too.)

Life Is Like a Mountain Railway

 

[onefour1]

My Heavenly Father Loves Me

1. Whenever I hear the song of a bird
Or look at the blue, blue sky,
Whenever I feel the rain on my face
Or the wind as it rushes by,
Whenever I touch a velvet rose
Or walk by our lilac tree,
I’m glad that I live in this beautiful world
Heav’nly Father created for me.

2. He gave me my eyes that I might see
The color of butterfly wings.
He gave me my ears that I might hear
The magical sound of things.
He gave me my life, my mind, my heart:
I thank him rev’rently
For all his creations, of which I’m a part.
Yes, I know Heav’nly Father loves me.

How Great Thou Art

How Firm a Foundation

How firm a foundation ye saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word
What more can He say, Than to you He hath said;
To you, Who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

Fear not, I am with thee, Oh be not dismayed
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid
I'll strengthen thee, Help thee, And cause thee to stand
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand

When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie
My grace all-sufficient shall be thy supply
The flame shall not hurt thee, I only design
Thy dross to consume, And thy gold to refine

The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
I will not, I will not desert to his foes
That soul, though all hell should endeaver to shake
I never, No never, No never forsake
That soul, though all hell should endeaver to shake
I will never, No never, No never forsake

I'm not religious at all but I have always thought Ave Maria was a beautiful song

 

[onefour1]

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Come Thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Here by Thy great help I've come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home

Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
Here to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
(Precious blood)

Oh, that day when freed from sinning
I shall see Thy lovely face
Clothe it then in blood washed linen
How I'll sing Thy sovereign grace

Come my Lord, no longer tarry
Take my ransom soul away
Send Thine angels now to carry
Me to realms of endless days

Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constraint to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee

Prone to wander, Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, oh take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

Here's my heart
Oh, take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

1. There was a time on earth when in the book of Heav’n
   An old account was standing for sins yet unforgiv’n;
   My name was at the top, and many things below—
   I went unto the Keeper, and settled long ago.
   • Refrain:
     Long ago, long ago,
     Yes, the old account was settled long ago;
     And the record’s clear today, for He washed my sins away,
     When the old account was settled long ago.
2. The old account was large, and growing every day,
   For I was always sinning, and never tried to pay;
   But when I looked ahead, and saw such pain and woe,
   I said that I would settle—I settled long ago.
3. When in that happy home, my Savior’s home above,
   I’ll sing redemption’s story, and praise Him for His love;
   I’ll not forget that book, with pages white as snow,
   Because I came and settled, and settled long ago.
4. O sinner, trust the Lord, be cleansed of all your sin,
   For thus He hath provided for you to enter in;
   And then if you should live a hundred years below,
   Up there you’ll not regret it—you settled long ago.

Were You There

Were you there when they crucified my Lord
Oh were you there when they crucified my Lord
(Oooh sometimes it causes me to tremble) tremble
Were you there when they crucified my Lord
Were you there when they nailed him to the cross
Were you there when they nailed him to the cross
(Oooh sometimes it causes me to tremble) tremble
Were you there when they nailed him to the cross

(Were you there when they laid him in the tomb
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb
Oooh sometimes it causes me to tremble) tremble
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb
Well were you there when the stone was rolled away
Were you there when the stone was rolled away
(Oooh sometimes it causes me to tremble) tremble
Were you there when the stone was rolled away
