O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds thy hands have made.
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder. Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
And when I think, that God, his Son not sparing, sent him to die, I scarce can take it in.
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing, he bled and died to take away my sin.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration, and then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
What Church is that! All I ever hear anymore is satanic rock music set to water'd down, feel good lyrics! O' how I long for the old hymnal songs!
I was gonna say, justme needs to go to Latin mass if they’re sick of the rock worship music. I think most people are craving real worship of God, incense and angelic music.
Are you next to a big river?
It's hit or miss in evangelical and Baptist churches, many go modern in the song and liturgy. But traditional hymn singing with simple musical accompaniment is standard in confessional, liturgical Reformational denominations like Reformed and Lutheran. Specifically if you look around for churches in the OPC and URC denominations, and some of the PCA, its almost guaranteed they will be singing these kinds of hymns as the norm.
Have some seconds. Plenty to go around!

I agree, Home Free is my favorite.
Thank you Lord for all our blessings
This is my favorite Gospel Song of all time! Love the Carrie Underwood version!
Tammy Wynette’s is my favorite version.
My favorite is Susan Boyle’s.

Wonderful hymn. If you want to listen to a modern version try Ascend the Hill. They have a lovely version.
That is such a beautiful song and is one of my favorites. I tried to sing it just now and cried through the second verse. Our God is fully and truly great!!!
(It reads differently when written out and punctuated like this instead of reading it in the hymnal. Maybe I just always sang it without singing it, you know?)
Mine, too! Also “Be Not afraid.” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_H_kgDXcKIw
That's beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
How Great Thou Art, and Blessed Assurance were sung at my grandma, and my mother's funeral.
I love the lyrics of this song. And like you, I can hardly read the last stanza without tearing up from shear joy.
Blessed Assurance always reminds me of my mom.
...good one M.Duck...
Was on my mind when I woke up this morning. I love the old hymns, although sometimes we sing them in rote fashion without really hearing the words.
I always got a laugh from my dad who did not like those new praise songs that repeat one line over and over. He did not like to waste words. He was very quite about it, as he was with all his words, but sometimes in private he would express his dislike of repeated words.
...your dad was right...
One of my many favorite hymns. Thank you, I think that song will play in my head all day.
Amen.
One of my mom's favorites
never heard of this one. beautiful
This is my favorite gospel song.
My Daddy’s favorite song! ❤️
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul. Psalm 23
One of my very favorite hymns.
So many great hymns to sing and meditate on.
Rock of Ages
A Mighty Fortress
My Hope is Built on Nothing Less
Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
How Great Thou Art
It is Well With My Soul
And Can it Be
O For a Thousand Tongues
Stricken Smitten and Afflicted
O God Beyond All Praising (my favorite melody)
Be Thou My Vision
Love “It Is Well With My Soul”
