One of my favorite hymns is It Is Well.<br /><br />Verse 3:<br />My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!<br />My sin, not in part but the whole,<br />Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,<br />Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!<br /><br />Verse 6:<br />And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,<br />The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;<br />The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,<br />Even so, it is well with my soul.<br /><br />-naty r. :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819152646772479591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17932973.post-42037072382018621572010-07-14T13:06:04.006-06:002010-07-14T13:06:04.006-06:00I can't name exact hymns but it's my favor...I can't name exact hymns but it's my favorite part of church. In high school I think it's how my parents even got me to go. I now go to an alternative church that actually has original music. It put me off at first and now I sincerely adore it.<br /><br /><a href="http://ramblingofasmalltowngirl.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Ramblings of a Small Town Girl</a>Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00791493835243956758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17932973.post-75169445931451700142010-07-13T22:05:56.168-06:002010-07-13T22:05:56.168-06:00You took a few faves of mine ("My name is gra...You took a few faves of mine ("My name is graven on His hands, My name is written on His heart" - Wow!) "For All the Saints" is a great one to me, too. I love how it imagines the celebration of all the saints coming into the New Heaven:<br /><br />From Earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,<br />Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,<br />Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost:<br />Alleluia, Alleluia!<br /><br />What a great future to look forward to!

Verse 1: ...This is my favorite: HOW GRET THOU ART:<br /><br />Verse 1: <br />O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder <br />Consider all the works Thy hands have made. <br />I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, <br />Thy power throughout the universe displayed. <br />Refrain: <br />Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee; <br />How great Thou art, how great Thou art! <br />Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee: <br />How great Thou art, how great Thou art! <br />Verse 2: <br />When through the woods and forest glades I wander <br />And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees; <br />When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur <br />And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze: <br />(Repeat Refrain.) <br />Verse 3: <br />And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, <br />Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; <br />That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, <br />He bled and died to take away my sin: <br />(Repeat Refrain.) <br />Verse 4: <br />When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation <br />And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! <br />Then I shall bow in humble adoration, <br />And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art! <br />(Repeat Refrain.)Kristanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17932973.post-50421374863668111102010-07-13T14:24:34.889-06:002010-07-13T14:24:34.889-06:00My absolute favorite hymn is How Great Thou Art.

I love when people join the side of loving hymns, now if we can all get on the bandwagon of bringing back choirs and robes. :)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272486221543857481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17932973.post-40616995546722684702010-07-10T17:57:57.341-06:002010-07-10T17:57:57.341-06:00I love Lift High the Cross from the Lutheran Hymna...I love Lift High the Cross from the Lutheran Hymnal, it is so beautiful.Lee Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146224020825165005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17932973.post-8888056865713902372010-07-08T14:40:28.523-06:002010-07-08T14:40:28.523-06:00I have to admit that I still sometimes act like a ...I have to admit that I still sometimes act like a punk teenager when it comes to hymns (I'm 27) because I did go to an ultra-traditional church years ago with a whole bunch of cranky old people. It was my husband's family's church--enough said.<br /><br />But I have to admit that one of the most simple hymns, Blessed Assurance, will move me to tears in a heartbeat.<br /><br />This is my story<br />This is my song<br />Praising my Savior<br />All the day long<br /><br />BTW, I'm excited about The Summit in North Raleigh starting up this fall. I wanted to check The Summit out when we start visiting churches (in less than a month--wowza!), but we really don't want to drive to Durham. We want to stick around WF/N. Raleigh, so now The Summit is on our list! I know they're still preparing and working out details, but do you know where they meet this fall yet?Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983734059086703721noreply@blogger.com
