One of my favorite hymns.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6lzTJfWdmk
Blest Be The Tie That Binds
...We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
I've had this hymn replaying in my mind over the last couple of days. I heard it just the other day while watching the old black and white movie "Our Town" and I thought it was so appropriate considering the catastrophic chain of events taking place on the East coast.
What is your favorite hymn?

Thanks for sharing Melody! I had never heard that hymn before.
I love Great Is Thy Faithfulness! There are many I love but that speaks to my heart and how great the Lord's faithfulness truly is :)
By His Grace, For His Glory

"Amazing Grace" is my favorite.

Yes, Marlee, "Buelah Land" would be up there with my favorites, too! Love it.

Hard to just choose one! I love Amazing Grace as well, but have also always loved, "The Old Rugged Cross", "Victory in Jesus", "Standing on the Promises" and so many more!
Hugs & Blessings,
Brenda

"Peace In The Valley", especially when sung by Johnny Cash and the Carter Family. Also love the more rockin'(for lack of a better term) gospel tunes like "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" and "Uncloudy Day".

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty; Come to the Table; I am the Bread of Life; A mighty Fortress is Our God; Amazing Grace; all the Christmas and Easter hymns. I guess I love them all!

This is not a standard hymn, maybe more of a wedding song...But, as a flute major that played in weddings etc.
I will NEVER forget, a young red headed girl singing "In This Very Room"
She was tiny & had a huge voice.
All of the musicians in the wedding were from her high school, except me (I was the brides flute teacher)
but, that little red headed gal left an imprint on my heart
I have searched YouTube for a similar impression, but,,alas, my memory will have to do |

"Tis the gift to be simple, tis the gift to be free,
Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained, to bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed
To turn, turn, will be our delight till by turning, turning, we come round right"
I also like "Be Thou m Vision"

For hymns I would have to also say 'How Great Thou Art'!!
Always gives me goosebumps........I thinks it's just beautiful!
But I also live contemporary worship. My very favorites are pretty much anything that Chris Tomlin does!
