Thankful for hymns :)

Tonight I went to a regular wednesday night church service and it was awesome as usual. We always sing praise music then have a lesson. It always warms my heart though when they throw in a hymn or two with our contemporary music. Some of the lines that come from them are just breathtaking. I could sit and listen all day to someone on the piano or strumming on the guitar, just singing old hymns to God. It is truly beautiful. Tonight we sang "Great is Thy Faithfulness". Probably my favorite line from this one is "Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!". 

Let's play a game :)
Maybe you know some of the hymns from which my favorite lines come from...

Let courage rise with danger

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise, Thou mine inheritance, now and always


streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise

In seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief

Watching and waiting, looking above,Filled with His goodness, lost in His love


I would love to hear what some of your favorite hymns are! I hope you enjoy and your day is filled with singing praises to our God!

  1. Great post...and I love your hymns, but here are a few of mine:

    I hear the Savior say, "Thy strength indeed is small! Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in Me thine all in all."

    In all the world around me, I see His loving care, And tho' my heart grows weary, I never will despair; I know that He is leading thro' all the stormy blast, The day of His appearing will come at last.

    He giveth more grace when the burden grows greater; He sendeth more strength when the labors increase. To added affliction He addeth His mercy; To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.
    I love you Leah!
