What's your favorite psalm, hymn, or, spiritual song?

[Brian Withnell]

Very partial to "For all the Saints" ...

For all the saints, who from their labor rest
who thee by faith before the world confessed
thy name, oh, Jesus, be forever blessed
alleluia, alleluia

I still find it hard to listen to ... we sang this at the funeral of my first wife Debbie.

Amazing Grace.

 

[Montanablue]

I am not sure if this is a hymn or spiritual song, but I adore "And Can it Be" - particularly Indelible Grace's version.

One of my favorites - By the Sea of Crystal

By the sea of crystal, saints in glory stand,
Myriads in number, drawn from every land,
Robed in white apparel, washed in Jesus’ blood,
They now reign in heaven with the Lamb of God.

Out of tribulation, death and Satan’s hand,
They have been translated at the Lord’s command.
In their hands they’re holding palms of victory;
Hark! the jubilant chorus shouts triumphantly:

“Unto God Almighty, sitting on the throne,
And the Lamb, victorious, be the praise alone,
God has wrought salvation, He did wondrous things,
Who shall not extol Thee, holy King of Kings?”

I Greet Thee Who My Sure Redeemer Art in the Trinity Hymnal. It is a beautiful expression of adoration and supplication. The tune, Tulon (10.10.10.10), is an abbreviation of Old 124 (10.10.10.10.10).

I also like RPCNA's 46C, which is also the second version of 46 in the Trinity Psalter.

While this is not my favorite, it's definitely near the top of my list. I first heard it when I was attending a rural church in France. It was sung in French of course.


There are a few hymns fighting for a spot at the top of my list.

"In Christ Alone"
"A Mighty Fortress"
"Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone" (Chris Tomlin & John Newton)
"How Deep the Father's Love for Us"

Ralph Vaughan Williams knew how to write wonderful music.

Another favorite of mine is an old Vineyard song: "Your Beloved" (Check out this young lady's voice!)

My favorite hymn is "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing". I love the beautiful melody and the powerful words!

Some of my favorite lines include:

Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood;

and

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.

Well, I came from an AOG church with a lot of horrifying songs being sung, very man-centered.

I've not been saved all of my life so attending a reformed church and actually SINGING HYMNS, AND PSALMS is new to me but I have to say my pick is:

Doxology

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.


I love them all but this one and Amazing Grace grab me...


I have to say; it's a privilege to just sing ANY hymn or Psalm, I'm not picky
