I love the hymns so it is a blessing to see them as a topic here. I agree with my brethren that they hold wonderful theological truths. For example: In the following hymn "My hope is built on nothing less"- In verse 1 is Salvation: "Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him." (Romans 5:9) In verse 4 The Return of Christ: "It will happen in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed."(1 Corinthians 15:52) 1 My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' name. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand. 2 When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; in ev'ry high and stormy gale my anchor holds within the veil. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; 3 His oath, His covenant, His blood support me in the 'whelming flood; when all around my soul gives way He then is all my hope and stay. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand. 4 When He shall come with trumpet sound, O may I then in Him be found, dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got saved during this Revival. So although I love the hymns, I also love these scripture songs listed. Maranatha was a group who recorded some beautiful renditions of the Psalms including As the Deer Pants. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Melinda12 - my husband and I rejoice whenever we hear, sing along to, join in with, meditate on the words of the wonderful hymns we have at our disposal to sing anywhere, anytime. We love hymns more than any other song, as they evoke a deep sense of the presence of the Lord and tears roll down as we remember the price He paid for us at Calvary and how we want to remember and talk with Him every day... these songs given to saints by the Lord are definitely special. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was written by Fanny Crosby, who was blind and I think lived until 95 years of age. I also love "It is well with my soul" and "When I survey the wondrous cross". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan, given to me by a very special friend. In it are 150 of the world’s greatest hymn stories. Wouldn’t it make a wonderful Christmas gift? Here is a Christmas carol, Omegaman! @SelahSong The hymns are indeed a treasure. Including the carols. That sure looks like a beautiful book! So glad your dear friend gave it to you. Gifts with spiritual significance are most precious as they touch someone in a place that ordinary gifts can not reach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that tell the background of how the hymn came to be written? Or is it of true stories of people touched by the hymn? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a number of hymn books at home. I read hymns as prayer and inspiration. I look up about the writers as there are so many that had exceptionally interesting lives. Does anyone else have this interest? I am not very good at praying you see. Thiugh i pray daily. Hymn writers say it so much better! I also love the old hymns and have a few old hymnals....I found two in a church thrift shop, and another I got when a church got new hymnals and was giving the old ones away for a donation. The oldest hymnal was 50 years old a few years ago when I gave it to a young man studying to become a pastor. My favorites are Be Thou My Vision and It Is Well With My Soul, but there are so many other beautiful hymns. The modern worship songs just don't have the same depth as the old hymns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
