What Are Your Favorite Hymns?

[Gina Marie]

These are some of my favorites-I've often thought how I'd love to hear U2 perform them

Precious Lord Take My Hand
Let There Be Peace On Earth
Amazing Grace
On Eagles Wings
Hail Holy Queen
Ave Maria
How Great Thou Art
On This Day Oh Beautiful Mother
Battle Hymn Of The Republic
Gentle Woman/Quiet Light

 

[Mrs.Clayton]

I like this thread!
"I vow to thee, my country"
"The king of love my shepard is"
"Guide me now, oh great redeemer"(I don't know if that's the right name or not)
Hummm..there's more, but I can't remember the names..

Where the Streets Have No Name

"Still, I never understood the elevation of greed as a political credo. Why would anyone want to base a political programme on bottomless dissatisfaction and the impossibility of happiness? Perhaps that was its appeal: the promise of luxury that in fact promoted endless work." - Hanif Kureishi, Intimacy

True, that's a good one-40 as well. And ISHFWILF, w/ a gospel choir especially. Somehow I don't think my Pastor would go for Streets ; maybe I'll have to make him a CD.

But you really have no traditional hymns that you like?

 

[mebythesea]

I'll also go for Streets.

And:
Hail Thou Once Despised Jesus
For All the Saints
Shine Jesus Shine
My Song Is Love Unknown
Lo He Comes with Clouds Descending
All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name

 

[80sU2isBest]

Just A Closer Walk With Thee
It Is Well With My Soul
When I Survey The Wondrous Cross
Come Thou Long Expected Jesus
O That Will Be Glory For Me
All Hail The Power Of Jesus Name
I Surrender All
In The Garden

 

[Monkey79]

Jesus Is Lord
Farther Along
Follow Me
Seek Ye First

Just to name a few.....

My favorites are:
On Eagle's Wings
Amazing Grace
Blest Are They
Be Not Afraid
How Great Thou Art
Here I Am Lord
Where You There
You Are Mine

 

[Monkey79]

I recall Bono singing Amazing Grace during either the UF show or the Amnesty show I saw as well. Yet another way they hooked me for good way back in the mid '80s. The memories of Amazing Grace & "40" still give me chills.

 

[spanisheyes]

Early in their career, Bono sang 'Amazing Grace' in the middle of "Electric Co."...speaking about chilling...WOW!!!

Some of my favorite hymns would have to be:

When I Survey The Wondrous Cross
Grace, Grace, God's Grace
All Hail The Power Of Jesus Name
I Surrender All
Amazing Grace

This one was done at my church about 3 weeks ago on a sunday morning -- a midwestern, theologically conservative, evangelical church.
