There's Within My Heart a Melody Text: Luther B. Bridgers Music: Luther B. Bridgers 1. There's within my heart a melody Jesus whispers sweet and low: Fear not, I am with thee, peace, be still, in all of life's ebb and flow. Refrain: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know, fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go. 2. All my life was wrecked by sin and strife, discord filled my heart with pain; Jesus swept across the broken strings, stirred the slumbering chords again. (Refrain) 3. Though sometimes he leads through waters deep, trials fall across the way, though sometimes the path seems rough and steep, see his footprints all the way. (Refrain) 4. Feasting on the riches of his grace, resting neath his sheltering wing, always looking on his smiling face, that is why I shout and sing. (Refrain) 5. Soon he's coming back to welcome me far beyond the starry sky; I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown; I shall reign with him on high. (Refrain) Title: Re:your favorite hymn Post by: Romans8_1 on November 04, 2003, 05:55:50 PM Hmmm. This is a little tough because what do we consider a Hymn. I go to a contemporary service, so we sing different songs. I also sing songs of praise all day long that are not out of song books.
Some of my favorites are: I'll Fly Away - always puts a smile on my face I Can Only Imagine Amazing Grace - explaination not needed. God of Wonders - I think this is the name Title: Re:your favorite hymn Post by: Tibby on November 04, 2003, 08:45:30 PM Sancte Deus by Thomas Tallis ;D Don’t like ANY "present" hymns. The authors don't seem comprehend the concept of "Worship" anymore. It is all about "me."

I have too many favorites to list. I like the older Gospel music with the beautiful words and melodies. The ones I enjoy the most were sung by loved ones who have gone home to be with the Lord. I can still hear them singing in my mind: How Great Thou Art Beyond The Sunset Whispering Hope Beneath The Cross Of Jesus At The Cross Amazing Grace The Old Rugged Cross A New Name In Glory Heavenly Sunlight I Love To Tell The Story It Is No Secret In The Sweet By And By Morning Has Broken Precious Lord Softly And Tenderly Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus Were You There I also like to listen to many of the old Southern Gospel songs that many people have never heard. These are the songs the field hands sang when they got tired and the songs they sang when they were worn out at the end of a hard day of work. In Christ, Tom Title: Re:your favorite hymn Post by: a.b. on November 04, 2003, 11:34:41 PM I love Victory in Jesus, He looked beyond my faults and Amazing Grace :D

And "Alleluia, Alleluia," tune ton-y-botel. (Actually, I enjoy the tunes as much as the words sometimes!) Nevermind. I think I just like 'em all. |
