We like to start every blogging day here with a hymn, and I like to post the hymns that you request. When left to my own devices, I’m afraid I tend to repeat myself and choose the same relatively few hymns again and again–because they’re my favorites. Light of the World, Hyfrydol, To Be a Pilgrim: well, what can I say?
I’d love to know what your favorite hymns are. I know it’s impossible to pick just one, so please feel free to list as many as you like.
I’ll keep track of the ones that are mentioned and will report to you which hymns seem to be the most popular. Don’t be bashful! If you only knew how hard it is to elicit a wide reader response… you’d wonder why I try. But I’m really interested in what you all have to say.
The first one that popped into my mind when I read your question was
Amazing Grace. However, I have many more loved hymns and worship songs. I’ll mention some more on another post.
The Love of God.
Be Still My Soul.
Precious Memories.
Oh To Be Like Thee.
What A Friend.
I’d Rather Have Jesus.
There is a Fountain.
I’m forgetting sooooo many that I love!
Holy God, We Praise Thy Name.
In the Garden.
O God Our Help in Ages Past.
O Sacrament Most Holy.
Faith of Our Fathers.
Panis Angelicus.
Too Close to the Mirror.
Holy, Holy, Holy.
The Old Rugged Cross.
…. and those are just the ones that occurred to me at the moment. I’m sure I’ll think of lots more.
Good question!

Well, that’s certainly the longest list so far.
Maybe I should have made it concise, but I couldn’t help it… 😅
Whoa, Josh!!! I could’ve done that, but I decided to keep it at just a few! 🙂
I appreciate it!
Maybe I should have too! There was just too many to choose from! 😅
Believe me, I understand. And all the hymns that everybody’s mentioned so far (40 of them now) are going to be posted.
Wow! That’s a lot of hymns to post!! I’m looking forward to listening to them!
