What is your favourite Hymn?

[Zerg]

So I tickled the ivories for a bit, for personal enjoyment and a thought
crossed my mind: What is your favourite church hymn?

My favourite hymns since I was a kid was St Francis of Assissi’s
“Let me be a channel of your peace”.

And “As a deer panteth for water”.

I never get tired of songs or stories that praise the Lord, no
matter how repetitous they get.

 

[Roseeurekacross]

Amazing Grace
Come Emmanuel

 

[pianistclare]

Crown Him with Many Crowns

But since you mentioned a Psalm setting, I’d go with “The Lord is Kind and Merciful”
for that.

 

[StephieNorthCo]

Holy God, we praise thy name.

 

[MrZoom]

Alleluia, Sing to Jesus. Actually, I love that tune (Hyfrydol) and I’ll belt out any hymn set to it.

 

[ctb95]

Take Up Your Cross/The Glory of these Forty Days
O Sacred Head Surrounded
Lo, How a Rose e’re Blooming
O Come, O Come Emmanuel
All Glory Laud and Honor
I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
I Bind Unto Myself Today
Holy God We Praise Thy Name

I love many but my Favorites are, “Were You There?” and “Mother at Thy Feet is Kneeling”.
my favorite verse is ;

Dearest Mother tell my Jesus,
How I love Him fond and true,
And oh, Mary dearest Mother,
Tell Him I belong to You.

God Bless, Memaw

I’m partial to Lord of the Dance, even if some other people don’t seem to like it.

Be Not Afraid is also a favorite.

 

[Avila123]

The slow version of Let all Mortal Flesh Keep Silent. The version we have at mass is a bit too fast for me . Here is a link to the rendition I love

I gave the incorrect title earlier.

I Am the Bread of Life ( not The Bread of Life)
Shelter Me, O God
Be Not Afraid
Hail Mary Gentle Woman

How great thou art.

Two favorites, neither of which is specifically Catholic.

(1) Church in the Wildwood, which I remember from the Sunday morning religious music show my father used to listed to, and which has a great story attached to it:

(2) And The Green Cathedral, about an outdoor forest chapel, which we sang at a school assembly in sixth grade.

 

[Mary_Ellen]

Holy, Holy, Holy

First hymn I learned. I remember singing it as I left church at the age of about 4, skipping and picking the little red berries off the low hedges along the concrete path.
