What is your favourite hymn? (thread borrowed from Mumsnet)

susie they mess about with the tune sometimes use a modern alternative to Oh Jesus.... I quite like the new one, but it means the old tune is getting feinter in my memory! Shame that is.

This is the one they sing now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi71IIsEfkY

Oh, didn't you just love carrying the flag at Church Parade! sigh!

This is the proper tune. The one I grew up with.

Well jingle I have done nothing but sing 'Make me a channel' since last night cant get it out of my head!!! Personally I think it sounds fantastic but I dont know if anyone would agree.

That last one is a beautiful video. Lovely graphics and a good bit of stonking piano to endeavour keep you in tune.

Glass, I woke up with Thine be the Glory going through my brain!

Now the green shoot riseth. It's an Easter hymn set to the French traditional tune Nouvelle Nouvelée.

The only Easter Hymn I can remember from school is On a green hill far away.

effblinder, Yes, that is beautiful. That's actually a carol, isn't it?

Don't think I could sing along to that though.

Jesu good above all other. Had it at our wedding in 1955. I was teaching at the time and more than 50 children from my school came to the ceremony. This hymn was for them and we've sung it at every important ceremony ever since. Lovely lilting tune

This is a fantastic version of a good old Easter hymn.

You girls could bash it out as good as this. (and at the same pace)

Go on, go on!!!

You know you could!

Hunt that sounds beautiful!

Hunt what a lovely memory of all those children singing their hearts out on your wedding day.

Give Me Joy In My Heart - we had it at our wedding, it is happy and up-beat, not dirge like. We also had it at my MIL's funeral.

golden I like that too.

How great thou art or maybe Gladly, thy cross eyed bear

The Old Hundredth - 'All people that on earth do dwell'. More for the tune than for the words. I used it as an introit for my wedding.

Also like
Is it I, Lord?

Otherwise known as
I the Lord of sea and sky

Yep. That's a good one Golden.

For those in peril
Maccabaeus
Crucifer
God be in my head.
I want them all at my funeral plus the Sanctus from verdi's requiem
Might have Lloyd webbers dies irae as well.
Will they be there to cremate me or gone home in boredom?
