Hymns

I guess the title says it all! Share your favorite hymns! :)

I heard a hymn today on BBN radio, which I loved, but all the words I can remember from the Refrain are: "Let thunder roar, Let tempest rage, his voice….". And when I Googled it, nothing came up. Can anyone help me find the complete hymn??

Just shared four of my favorite hymns on here. :)

I really love the hymn Saint Francis Prayer. The same composer as "For the beauty of the earth".

Hmmm. I'm not reay into hymns….. Does 'how gr8 thow art?' Count as a hymn? :)

Some of my favorite hymns are Be Thou My Vision; Still My Soul, Be Still; Amazing Grace; In Christ Alone; Nothing But the Blood; Your Grace Still Amazes Me;……and the list could go on, and on:) in other words, I have a lot of favorite hymns:)

A few of my favorite hymns are: "Amazing Grace", "Tis So Sweet", "I Stand Amazed in the Presence", "It is Well", "And Can it Be", "There is a Fountain", and "For the Beauty of the Earth", and "Master the Tempest is raging."

Of course I like so many more hymns :D

It is Well
I Surrender All
How Great Thou Art (I think that counts, Danielle:)
Be Thou My Vision
How Firm a Foundation
To God Be the Glory
Blessed Assurance
There's a Fountain
How Deep the Father's Love
In Christ Alone
etc, etc. :)

There are lots of hymns I like, but my all-time favorite is "In Christ Alone." :) In fact, that's probably my all-time favorite song as well! :)

I LOVE THAT SONG!!!!!!! :D

In Christ Alone is Gr8! Eden and I sang that for an Easter performance and I got to sing this awesome tenor part for it so that made it even better!!!

wow! Favorite hymn??? Wrong question to ask me because I have so many favorites!

But,
Revive us again,
It is well,
Nearer my God to Thee

(the last one is one of my favorites ever! I should post a recording of my arrangement of it sometime…!)

Mine are, How Great Thou Art, Great is Thy Faithfulness, To God Be the Glory, Count Your Blessings… the list goes on!

Ah! There are so many hymns I like…

God is Holy, In Christ Alone, How Great Thou Art, Great is Thy Faithfulness, Come Christians Join to Sing, Like a River Glorious, Amazing Grace, Onward Christian Soldiers, Be Still My Soul, It is Well….though, I'd have to say that two of my favorites that I listed is God is Holy and Onward Christian Soldiers :)

Oh yeah! I love 'amazing grace' and 'it is well' also. :)

Any help on my search for the hymn? :)

Are these the words? I can't find the title but here's what came up for the words on Google.

"To trust in Him my sweetest joy;
And since He's near, no storms annoy.
No gathering cloud can veil His face
In Him I find my Hiding place.

Let thunder roar, let tempest rage
His voice can wildest wind assuage.
Safe hid in Him, I cannot fear.
No terror know, while He is near."

A few favorites of mine would be "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms", "Stand up, Stand up for Jesus", "In Christ Alone", "Be Still my Soul", "How Firm a Foundation", "The Lord's my Shepherd", and then I think the name of this hymn is "Not 'Til Then How Much I Owe" or something like that. But the list could go on and on……

YEAH! Thanks! Now on the search to find sheet music for it! :)

Oh, I really like "Stand up, Stand up for Jesus," and "In Christ Alone."

You're welcome! :)

My top favorite is:
How Great Thou Art

Kind of a funny story about when I first came to that conclusion…
It was my 18th birthday party and we did a special music night celebration where people could share music and such. A friend had called up my brother and asked what my favorite hymn was. Jordan told him that he didn't really know for sure, but he knew I like How Great Thou Art. When he played it at my birthday, he mentioned that story. My friend sitting by me asked me if that was my favorite hymn. I said not really because I had a lot of favorites… but then, I realized that How Great Thou Art was my very favorite. :)

Lol

I love that one!!

That's my Dad's favorite hymn as well:)

One of my personal favorites is "Be Thou My Vision." I don't like extremely slow hymns (my one exception probably being "Amazing Grace" :), nor do I like overly fast Christian hymns (like Contemporary Christian hymns). I like hymns that are sort of in between. :)

Some of my favorite hymns are It Is Well, And Can It Be, The Solid Rock, The Love of God, God be With You Till We Meet Again, and Blessed Assurance.

Those are some great hymns!!!

What is a favorite hymn of yours? Why?

It Is Well…because it is so beautiful and sad and makes you think and is so true.

Ahhhh…I have so many!! I like He Leadeth Me…it's a great reminder!

Would you consider "In Christ Alone" a hymn? It has such great lyrics…

Yeah, it has GREAT lyrics!! I so like that song!

Would you consider "In Christ Alone" a hymn? It has such great lyrics...

I only consider two of the Getty songs as being classified as hymns, because of the tune, meter, words: In Christ Alone, and The Power of the Cross.

Some of mine are "Because He lives" "Low in the grave He lay" "Come thou Almighty King" and "We gather together." Plus many more. :)

Those of you who enjoy listening to traditional christian hymns, check out Abiding Radio. They have 4 different online playlists of continuous music…Sacred, instrumental (my favorite), Christmas, and Kids. If you check it out let me know what you think!

New one to add to my favorites list!!!! "I Will Praise Him Still" I think it's by Fernando Ortega.

I re-found a new one that I really like. 'Before the Throne of God Above' It reminds me of my 'big sister', because she sang it at a graduation.

Yes! That song is very nice!

Here is the entire song you were looking for:

      While He Is Near 

1. By faith I know my Lord is near
   Tho' I the distant thunder hear,
   Despite the storm which drives the dust,
   And tho' He slay me, yet I trust.

Chorus
Let thunder roar, let tempest rage;
His voice can wildest wind assuage.
Safe hid in Him I cannot fear,
No terror know while He is near.

1. He is my friend, my soul doth say
   And after night there comes the day
   When I shall understand His will
   And He hath bid the storm be still.

2. To trust in Him, my sweetest joy
   And since He's near no storms annoy
   No gath'ring cloud can veil His face,
   In Him I find my hiding place.

This may not be considered a hymn in the traditional sense, more of a modern? (not in a bad way) hymn by Timothy Brindle on the Humility of Christ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWeyY8bVw3s

The recorded version of the "hymn" Humility of Christ can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aohl_p37RZU

Lyrics:

VERSE 1: Forever before the Creation or there was Satan the Son was with the Spirit and Father in Glorification / Before worship of fine angels above the Trinity was in a perfect Triangle of love / Chilled with no one else / no need for others 'cause God is self-sufficient fulfilled within Himself / And we can only guess the conversation / but the Son agreed to rescue those the Father gave Him / And although this Lord should be worshipped He volunteered to take upon the form of a Servant / The Father commanded yet asked Him to come / So now let's examine the fashion it was done / Let me ask you if you seem confused with this / God passed through His own creature's uterus / I admit this is odd yet the Bible can persuade me / An omnipotent God crying as a Baby? / No doctors around no spot could be found to give birth to a Child the only option in town / was to be born in a feeding trough with breeding cows and feces piles / the scene was foul / It wasn't fancy but raunchy / How the Son of God was born next to camels and donkeys / What an awesome feat to drop so deep and cop His sheep / He didn't step down He took a quantum leap / And I'm amazed how God infinite in wealth / put aside His fame and limited Himself / to time and space and eyes and legs / He died to save a violent race whose sin would bring 'em hell /

HOOK: Who'd assume that this could be? / God became a Man penetrating into human history / But He did it completely opposite than people thought He would so unbelievers mocking it / Who'd assume that this could be? / You became a Man penetrating into human history / But You did it completely opposite than I thought You would so I was mocking it /

VERSE 2: The Promised Messiah didn't come in the honor of sire but humbly rockin' some modest attire / So people missed it / to be specific the legalistic thought their king would be the richest / And we know we like commodities / but the Possessor of all riches chose a life of poverty / Wait it's not the descendant of David is this? / Yes and He's descended the greatest distance / He chilled with sinners and tax robbers / Amongst His creatures who to Him were grasshoppers / He dwelt with the lower class lowly men and those known as trash were His chosen kin / And the unbelieving Jews were sick of Him they said He runs with a team of stupid fishermen and speaks to Samaritans and Barbarians / Pharisees stared at Him with harsh arrogance / It's shown when the Savior took notice of beggars / Healed the blind and sick and those with lowest of wages / He even touched those with leprosy which was seen as the most disgusting known infection see / Wait are you kidding me? Watch Jesus go low and wash Peter's toes / what great humility / See the Second Person of the Trinity came down to rescue workers of iniquity / Check His earthly ministry / He didn't make a bed / He had no place to lay His head / But He became bound to His own Law but we found no flaw / Was from a rugged town / so raw / Slumbered and slept / hungered and wept and sweated / Plunged to our depth / the sum of our debt's pathetic / The humblest yet the humblest death that's dreaded / The Son is our rest come under Him get His credit /

HOOK: No question that He's G-O-D but He laid aside the full expression of His Deity and surfed the chasm / no words can fathom how God walked this earth which is cursed from Adam / No question that You're G-O-D but You laid aside the full expression of Your Deity and surfed the chasm / no words can fathom how You walked this wicked earth /

VERSE 3: He was falsely condemned by Jews and filthy pagans / Now the Cross / the peak of His humiliation / No discussion / sure they'd best remove Him / He got the most disgusting form of execution / He Who sits upon the throne and rules was kicked and stomped and spit upon by Roman fools / Despised by Israel / tried by sinful souls / but was silent when struck by violent imbeciles / And Jesus was able / to call down legions of angels but He was too faithful / Gracious and patient was Him / yet He was hated and forsaken by men / like Jews they hated His soul / Judas betrayed Him for gold / When it was tough His crew was afraid so they roll / Suckers they merked Him / this Suffering Servant / was beat up and looked like He was cut by a surgeon / Slaughtered bleedin' gushin' oozin' blood / The Father pleased to crush Him Whom He loved so He probably didn't even feel the crown and nails / He had to suffer more than that to bring down the veil / Our eyes are haughty and our lies are naughty / the holy Christ bore our sins inside His body / Yea His veins they burst but no one's pain was worse 'cause the One Who made the earth became a curse / And He was One with the Father's Essence but on the cross the God of heavens cut off His presence / So I can't share any language that can rightly describe the Christ's despair and His anguish / So forever will I tell / in three hours Christ suffered more than any sinner ever will in hell / He who had infinite joy and pleasure became a Man of Sorrows so we could join forever /

I love the old hymns I grew up with (and a few of the more recent ones). A friend introduced me to Acapeldridge's music a while back and I could listen to his hymns for hours. He sings the hymns in four part harmony to the glory of God.

Hi, Patricia J,
Because you mentioned Acapeldridge above, I just checked them out on YouTube.
Thank you for sharing (even though it took me a LONG TIME :) to find your post above). But I'm sure it is never too late to say "Thank you"! Just wanted to let you know.
I do hope your hymn listening of our "old favorites" has been going well over the past 6 months.
