We don`t sing hymns in our church either,but I wish we did.I love Amazing Grace and Just As I Am.I want to cry when I hear Just As I Am.I have always loved altar calls,seeing people giving their life to Christ.The song seemed to be always in the background.

 

[mrguitar]

I LOVE that hymn too!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the old time camp meeting song: Victory In Jesus

 

[Redheadedstepchild]

Trust and Obey has been running through my head lately (which is interesting because it's been awhile since I've heard it).

 

[Nikos7]

TO GOD BE THE GLORY

To God be the glory, great things He has done;
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.

Refrain
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He has done.


O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.


Refrain
Great things He has taught us, great things He has done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

I Will Pour Water by Dwight Hall (1923)

I will pour water on him that is thirsty;
I will pour floods upon all the dry ground.
Upon thy seed will I pour of my Spirit;
And of my blessing upon their own.

Gently the flow of the Spirit descending;
Touches my heart and with life all a new.
Changes my dross for gold's value unending;
Cleansing and washing me all the way through.

Lord, send Thy Spirit, convicting the sinful;
Filling the faithful with life and with power.
Working within us the plan of Thy whole will;
Blest Holy Spirit, descend yet this hour!

 

[Nikos7]

I MUST TELL JESUS

I must tell Jesus all of my trials;
I cannot bear these burdens alone;
In my distress He kindly will help me;
He ever loves and cares for His own.

Refrain

I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
I cannot bear my burdens alone;
I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.


I must tell Jesus all of my troubles;
He is a kind, compassionate friend;
If I but ask Him, He will deliver,
Make of my troubles quickly an end.

Refrain

Tempted and tried, I need a great Savior;
One Who can help my burdens to bear;
I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus;
He all my cares and sorrows will share.

Refrain

O how the world to evil allures me!
O how my heart is tempted to sin!
I must tell Jesus, and He will help me
Over the world the victory to win.

Refrain

No Never Alone

I’ve seen the lightning flashing, I’ve heard the thunder roll.
I’ve felt sin’s breakers dashing, which almost conquered my soul.
I’ve heard the voice of my Savior, bidding me still to fight on.
He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone!

Refrain
No, never alone, no never alone,
He promised never to leave me,
He’ll claim me for His own;
No, never alone, no never alone.
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.


The world’s fierce winds are blowing, temptation sharp and keen.
I have a peace in knowing my Savior stands between—
He stands to shield me from danger when my friends are all gone.
He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone!

Refrain

When in affliction’s valley I tread the road of care,
My Savior helps me carry the cross so heavy to bear;
Though all around me is darkness, earthly joys all flown;
My Savior whispers His promise, never to leave me alone!

Refrain

He died on Calvary’s mountain, for me they piercèd His side.
For me He opened that fountain, the crimson, cleansing tide.
For me He waiteth in glory, seated upon His throne.
He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone!

Refrain

Those hymns you have mentioned are tremendous 'Nikos'. God speaks through the old and new. What a heritage of good hymns we have and they are being added to,all the time as the Holy Spirit moves people still to wtite them.

'Mountainmaiden','jayh','mrguitar','Redheadedstepchild','mssurrendered' and all others,thankyou for sharing.

'How good is the God we adore,
Our faithful,unchangable Friend,
Whose love is as great as His power
And knows neither measure or end.

Tis Jesus,the First and the Last,
Whose Spirit shall guide us safe home,
We'll praise Him for all that is past
And trust Him for all that's to come'.

O To Be Like Thee


O to be like Thee! blessèd Redeemer,
This is my constant longing and prayer;
Gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures,
Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.

Refrain
O to be like Thee! O to be like Thee,
Blessèd Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.

O to be like Thee! full of compassion,
Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,
Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,
Seeking the wandering sinner to find.

Refrain

O to be like Thee! lowly in spirit,
Holy and harmless, patient and brave;
Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,
Willing to suffer others to save.

Refrain

O to be like Thee! Lord, I am coming
Now to receive anointing divine;
All that I am and have I am bringing,
Lord, from this moment all shall be Thine.

Refrain

O to be like Thee! while I am pleading,
Pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love;
Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,
Fit me for life and Heaven above.

Refrain

I know its not a hymn,but I really like the song WHY ME LORD by Kris Kristofferson.
Why me Lord,what have I ever done.To deserve even one of the pleasures I`ve known.

A NAME I HIGHLY TREASURE

1
I've learned to know a name I highly treasure,
Oh how it thrills my spirit through and through,
That precious name, beyond degree or measure,
My heart is stirred when e'er I think of you.
CHORUS
My heart is stirred when e'er I think of Jesus
That blessed name which sets the captive free,
The only name through which I find salvation
No name on earth, has meant so much to me.
2
That name brings gladness to a soul in sorrow
It makes life's shadows and its clouds depart
Brings strength in weakness for today, tomorrow
That name brings healing to an aching heart.
3
That name still lives and will live on forever.
While kings and kingdoms will forgotten be,
Through mist or rain twill be beclouded never,
That name will shine and shine eternally!
