Favourite hymn

Jerusalem and I Vow to Thee my Country both move me to tears.

Through all the changing scenes of life.
In heavenly love abiding.
Oh perfect love. (we had this one at our wedding).

Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven.
God be in my head (short but sublime).

Showergelfresh, in my day the girls grammar school in Rochdale was also known as Greenhill, and there was a running joke that it was the school song of the boys grammar, which was on the other side of town. So whenever I hear it it makes me smile!

There is a lovely hymn that I can’t remember the name of,so any Catholics on the thread can help me out hopefully
(A Catholic hymn ) which has the words, ‘Star of the sea, pray for the wanderer, pray for me’ in it.
I must be honest and say that I don’t like hymns usually as they are often a dirge, sung much out of tune by congregations, but I do like carols.

The Eventide hymn is
The Day Thou Gavest Lord is Ended
Our vicar years ago always referred to it as the eventide hymn, and it was listed in my hymn book as that. We had it at my husband`s funeral.

I wouldn't go to church now if you paid me...
My favourite is

There is a green hill far away
Without a city wall
Where the dear Lord was crucified
He died to save us all

Coming from the 'Sunday School' generation - peace and quiet for those 'Christian' parents on a Sunday afternoon - I also had to go to church with them in the mornings

There we sang the above mentioned hymn which I found so moving - tune and words - I sat and wept without stopping and no one in that whole church could have cared less, least of all my parents.

I have never been so upset before or after in my life.

It was a travesty for a small child.

How great thou art
All things bright and beautiful
Praise my soul the King of Heaven

Calon Lan
Abide with me
The old rugged cross

Hail Holy Queen enthroned above.

Jesu joy of man's desiring.

I should perhaps mention that I was raised Christian but am now agnostic.

I'm sure it's true that the devil doesn't have all the good tunes.

The Lord’s my shepherd. ( Stuart Townsend )
Immanuel ( Michael Card )
In Christ Alone ( Stuart Townsend )
Most hymns by Bernadette Farrell

Sorry - Divine

How Great Thou Art.

What a Friend We Have In Jesus

Love Devine

God our help in ages past
Onward Christian Soldiers
Jesu joy of man's desiring

If I am allowed ore than one

Praise my soul the king of heaven

Am I allowed "The lords my Shepherd"

Immortal invisible God only wise
Ye Holy Angels bright
Love Divine (sung to Blaenwern)

So hard to choose one above all others! The ones that spring to mind are:

Soul of my Saviour
youtu.be/tO_is6VPn3w
Mary Immaculate Star of the Morning
youtu.be/S3-ZL66lwmc

Love Divine
I Vow To Thee My Country

I absolutely loathe Jerusalem! Its such nonsense.
I like 'Praise my soul the king of heaven'.
'Abide with me' takes some beating too especially at funerals.
'Cwm Ronda' is great (sorry about the spelling)
'How great thou art' is another terrific one to sing.

Love them Grandad and Lily.
Don't you just love singing hymns. I have a youtube list of favourite hymns which I play in the car.

The Eventide hymn?

Two here as well.

1) The Day Thou Gave Us Lord has Ended.

2) Amazing Grace.

Sorry but there are some beautiful hymns. Hard to choose just one.

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

The Eventide hymn
and
Jerusalem

Sorry I have two.

Forth in Thy Name O Lord I go.
Great is Thy Faithfulness
