I have a lot of favorites, but to sing? Well, I think " The Old rugged Cross". I start out slow and low, then, burst into "for a world of lost SINNERS WAS SAVED!" I've always loved Christmas hymns, too.

This may sound silly, but it's gotten to where if I hear a hymn sung at all, that's my favorite.

Blessed Assurance
It is Well with my Soul
The Old Rugged Cross
How Great Thou Art
Victory in Jesus

Just to name a few . . .

 

Victory in Jesus is my all time favorite.
Amazing Grace
Blessed Assurance
Old Rugged Cross
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms
How Great Thou Art

There're so many.

 

Aren't there though! I kindof wanted to say everyone in the hymnal -- because at some time or another, every one I've ever sung or heard has touched my heart in someway.

 

You're so right! Sometimes I zero in on the words and find them ministering to me. At times I was so impacted by a particular song, I wanted to replace Victory in Jesus with that impactful song.

 

I've looked at the lists that others have posted, and I have not seen some of my favorites yet.

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
On Jordan's Banks I Stand
What Wondrous Love Is This
O, Sacred Head Now Wounded
God of Grace and God of Glory
God Moves In A Mysterious Way
If You Will Only Let God Guide You
Share His Love (my father wrote words and music)
Jesus, Thy Boundless Love To Me
Jesus, The Very Thought of Thee

I also sing shape-note music from several tunebooks including The Sacred Harp. There are many good hymns in those books that you may never hear anywhere else.

One congregational song I haven't heard in a long time is "We Gather Together". It's a lovely song, easy to sing, and reminds me of my childhood church, where we sang it quite often. "Faith Of Our Fathers" takes a lot of breath control, but has a strong message in it. I sang it for this little church. The Pastor there was amazed someone actually knew the song at all, even though it was right there in the hymnal! The organist wanted to repeat the last line in a soft voice, but I sang it stronger than ever...after all, why sing "we will be true, to thee, till death" softly, when it's such a powerful promise ?

My favorites are:

Great is Thy faithfulness

It is well with my soul.

They always touch my heart.

 

All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Holy, Holy, Holy
How Deep the Father's Love for Us
In Christ Alone My Hope is Found
A Mighty Fortress is Our God
Wonderful, Merciful Savior

 

My two favorites are "There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood," and "Victory In Jesus"

When I sing Victory in Jesus, I change the lyrics to the chorus just slightly to make it more personal...

Oh Victory In Jesus
My Savior forever
You sought me and You bought me
With Your redeeming blood
You loved me e'er I knew You
And all my love is due You
You plunged me
To victory
Beneath that cleansing flood.
