There is a song I can't find the lyrics to.

Here's what I remember:

 

"Youuu were fearfully and wonderfully crea-ted long a-goooooo"

...

.....

.....

 

"And that is why I'll do my best, to make the most of me"

Ring a bell?

----------------‐--

Another:

 

"Let there be gl-ory and ho-nor and praiiiii-sesssss,

Glo-ry and ho-nor to Je-suuuus.

 

Glooooo-ryyyyyy

Hoooo-norrrrrr

Gl-ory, and ho-nor, to Him"

 

It was sung in church by men(low) and women complimentary(high) timed & simultaneously.

Let There be Glory and Honor and Praises is the second one. No idea about the first.

Some of the older hymns were written a little like plain songs.  They don't pause like they are written now.  

 A mighty fortress is our God a bulwark never changing" doesn't have a pause after God.  Many Lutheran churches still sing it that way but most others don't.

 Praise to the Lord the Almighty King of Creation" also is often sung without the commas or pauses.  

Greensleeves or What Child is this is sung both ways.

Be Thou my vision is another old one that I love.  

O come O come Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel is sung without the comma as well. It reminds me of the final words of the Revelation.  Come quickly Lord Jesus.  

All Creatures of our God and King was written by  St. Francis of Assisi in the 12th century!  

I love many of these ancient hymns.  They have not only withstood the test of time, but the lyrics are very full of worship and praise of our God.  There is something of Scripture in them that causes my heart to sing.  There are many others, old and new, that are on my list of favorites like folk music and spirituals, or glimpses of heaven like Isaiah 6.

The O antiphons date back to the 3rd and fourth century and may even have been sung by the apostolic church. I Could actually see them singing these words.

I especially love hymns that remind us of what the Lord did for us, on the cross.  They always move me to thank and praise the Lord for his wonderful love to a sinner like me.

Amazing Grace

Rock of Ages

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Here is Love Vast as the Ocean

And this one :)

I am weak but Thou art strong
Jesus keep me from all wrong
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee
 
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
 
When my feeble life is o'er
Time for me shall be no more
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To Thy kingdom's shore, to Thy shore
 
When life's sun sinks in the west
Lord, may I have done my best
May I find sweet peace and rest
In that happy home of the blessed
 
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
