Most of those I know, but there's a few I'd have to hear the tune! While I love contemporty worship, these old hymns, like "It is well, with my soul", powerful, absolutely powerful. Great list, Heather.
Those are nice. Whenever it's my turn to pick the hymns for the bulletin, sometimes I'll submit an extra insert of a copy of one of these which aren't in our regular hymnbook!
It was nice reading the titles of the songs and being able to sing them in my head. I knew them all!
We sing lots of those at my Baptist church too! Just as I am, almost every Sunday.
Beautiful! You know, these days of worship choruses--I can't get enough of the old hymns. They just bless my heart, my spirit, and my soul. Even reading them! I'm not opposed to worship choruses and refrains--however, there is great blessing and tradition lost when we don't introduce the old hymns to new Christians. Part of the blessing of the old hymns is discovering the story of the authorship of each. It is Well has an incredible story...and of course, each hymn by Fanny Crosby (that is her name, right?!) was very special!

I'm a Calvary Chapel girl who worships to drums and electric guitars, but once you've grown up Baptist, those hymns are in your blood! I love Just a Closer Walk With Thee, And Can it Be, and so many others. Used to have all the hymnal numbers memorized:)
Those are wonderful hymns indeed. Believe it or not, but Lutherans sing most of them too *wink*...but some I do not know. "I'll fly away" is one of my favs...Have you heard the version "Jars of Clay" has done of this old-time favorite? I enjoy it very much!
Have a blessed Friday.
Awesome list! I do love the ol' hymns.
I love all of those!!! Hymns are so dear to my heart. I hate it that so many churches have stopped singing them. I'm thankful that my church service blends the old with the new. Some of my favorites are: Blessed Assurance, He Leadeth Me, Great is Thy Faithfulness, Savior Like a Shepherd Lead Us, Day By Day, Farther Along, Victory In Jesus, He Lives, Be Thou My Vision...those are just a few!
