Do you sometimes have a verse of a hymn just pop into your head for no reason?

Not because you heard it anywhere or read something that reminded you of it but I wondered whether this happens to you? I woke up with a hymn going round and round in my head and felt maybe God was saying something to me due to the verse?
 
That sounds like hymnogogic hallucinations!

(Sorry, I couldn’t resist) 😀

Our minds are creative and I have heard original music in dreams. Is there a particular verse the you heard in your thoughts that corresponds to something that exists already?

I was trying to remember which one was in my head when I awoke the other day but unfortunately I currently have an annoying pop song stuck in my head.
 
Yes, I have this happen, but I can’t say which hymn it is because there is bound to be someone that will come on and tell me how much they despise the song. :roll_eyes:
 
Contemplate…

Every thought you have pops into your awareness of this temporal stream of intelligibility; your consciousness is your ability to evidence this miracle after the fact - you “see” the whole thought as “one”.

This is the miracle of your soul, animating your brain with a stream of content yet without effort - thought - the spiritual forming the material, and you get to see it as it took shape.
 
I was (before my conversion) and still am deeply rooted in Southern Gospel music. It frequently happens that folks will say or write things that trigger “song cues,” but they do often occur completely out of the blue as well.

I can remember when I first sang that song in grade school–our country was mired down in the Viet Nam War, and the song was such a beautiful wish. I still love the song.

It often helps to dispel cynicism to know the origin of a hymn. Here’s what Wikipedia says about “Let There Be Peace On Earth”.

Jackson-Miller, who had been suicidal after the failure of her marriage to screenwriter Felix Jackson, later said that she wrote the song after discovering what she called the “life-saving joy of God’s peace and unconditional love.”
 
Yes there are two that have always just popped into my head at random times and I made a habit of singing aloud when my children were around because I felt grace urging me to do so.

Down in adoration falling
This great sacrament we hail
Ancient rites have long departed
Newer rites of grace prevail
Faith for all defects supplying
Where the feeble senses fail

and the other is

Firmly I believe and truly
God is Three and God is One;
and I next acknowledge duly
manhood taken by the Son.

And I trust and hope most fully
in that manhood crucified;
and each thought and deed unruly
do to death, as he has died.

Edit to add… not a song but I often get the random chant in my head " Remember man that you are dust and unto dust you shall return"
