Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder...

Love it. My cousin sang this at my mother’s funeral. My mum had made it known this is what she wanted.

As a child ‘Jesus bids us shine’. ‘At the end of the Day’ is beautiful’. ‘morning has broken’ as well as yours TN

Cwm Rhondda (Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer)
Love Divine All Love Excelling
The Day Thou Gavest

The first two were hymns at our wedding just over 41 years ago. My father arranged all our music and as he's of Welsh stock it showed throughout- with Myfanwy being played whilst signing the register. He's 91 now and still plays the music on our anniversary smile

How Great Thou Art
and
What A Friend We Have in Jesus

I’ve loved I vow to thee my country since I was a young child, I hadn’t realised the strong patriotism of the words, just found it stirring.

grannyrebel7 Sat 30-Jan-21 15:35:01

"How Great Thou Art" and "Make me a Channel of your Peace". I love both of these and have missed going to church and singing hymns.

Love all the Methodist hymns
The Old Rugged Cross

How great Thou art
Rescue the perishing
Blessed Assurance
So many to choose from.

Dear Lord and Father of Mankind forgive our foolish ways...

Have always loved this hymn .

Bodach Sat 30-Jan-21 15:47:36

"O Valiant Hearts" - but I can never get through it without weeping.

felice Sat 30-Jan-21 15:49:12

For my very jolly Uncle at his funeral I had 'One more step along the world I go'. From the old I travel to the new, it just suited him.
For my Mother it was, Think of a world without any flowers. and Brother Sister let me serve you.
They both suited her to a tee.

Mine, To be a Pilgrim.

Have to admit that apart from Christmas carols, I have always found most hymns depressing and a bit of a dirge.That said, there are a few nice uplifting ones including Morning Has Broken, Amazing Grace, and a lovely Catholic hymn that I can never remember the title of ....Star Of The Sea ?

Jerusalem and Dear Lord and Father of Mankind. I'm very much a traditionalist.

MiniMoon Sat 30-Jan-21 16:14:59

Through all the changing scenes of life.
And,
Here I am, Lord.

Calendargirl Sat 30-Jan-21 16:20:10

The Day Thou Gavest.
Jerusalem.
Love Divine.
I Vow To Thee My Country.
Lead Us Heavenly Father Lead Us.
Be Thou My Vision.
Lord Of All Hopefulness.

The Old Rugged Cross

Bellanonna Sat 30-Jan-21 16:25:40

Lemongrove, that one’s Hail Queen of Heaven, Star of the Sea.
I also love To be a Pilgrim and How Great Thou Art. I want those to see me off if I can hang around until a time singing will be allowed again.

I play Star of the Sea on the piano Lemongrove - it's one of my oldest sheets of music and it's a lovely piece.

Puzzler61 Sat 30-Jan-21 16:31:43

It has to be Love Divine All Loves Excelling but I like one tune only.

Judy54 Sat 30-Jan-21 16:41:53

Soul of my Saviour
Lord for tomorrow and its needs
When you walk through the waters
My God loves me

One that I came across recently is called Faithful One part of the words are: You are my rock in times of trouble, through the storm your love is my anchor. These words have helped me so much during recent difficulties with my Husband's continuing health problems.

Eternal Father - for those in peril on the sea.
