‘Low in the Grave He Lay’
Until I started playing it, I didn’t realize this was one of my favorite hymns, too; but I always knew it as Up from the Grave He Arose. You Favorite Hymns continues with Low in the Grave He Lay, sung by the Kingdom Quartet.
‘Christ the Lord Is Risen Today’
Who says it’s a hymn you can only sing on Easter? Shout it from the housetops: He is risen! It is, after all, at the very heart of our faith. Christ the Lord is Risen Today, by Charles Wesley, sung by the Joslin Grove Choral Society.
‘Before the Throne of God Above’
Now that I have a list of Your Favorite Hymns–and please, everybody, feel free to add to it–I’m getting to hear a lot of songs I’ve never heard before. Like this one: Before the Throne of God Above, by Selah.
‘There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood’
Sometimes Youtube doesn’t tell you who’s performing a piece of music. This is one of those times. I can’t give the credit that’s deserved–but whoever they are, they’ve done a beautiful rendition of There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood.

‘Go Tell It on the Mountain’
Someone couldn’t wait for Christmas–but it’s Your Favorite Hymns; and besides, who’s going to object to a Christmas song in August? Which brings us to Go Tell It on the Mountain, sung a capella by the Golden Gospel Singers.
‘A Mighty Fortress’ (with Lyrics)
I could hardly believe my ears, the first time I heard this, Martin Luther’s hymn, being played on the bells of St. Francis’ Church, across the street from me: A Mighty Fortress is Our God. Pope Benedict XVI had some good ideas, and allowing this hymn to be played was one of them.
