Here's another lovely one. Music by Sibelius.

Can't rise to a Youtube link but we tradtionally belt out "Thine Be The Glory" to Handel's Judas Maccabeus at weddings and funerals in this family.

Make me a channel of your peace.

Yeah! Thine be the glory!

This vid's got the words to it so you can belt along with it! Fantastic!

Glass, Susan Boyle, Daniel O'Donnell or little choir boys?

I should think little choir boys every time?

And choir girls, please.

No. Better not have the choir boys. It's from the funeral of Diana!

Daniel O'D sings it really nicely. And it's got the words to sing along.

Graphics are a bit hard going though.

No preferred it when DD had it for her wedding with all the family singing it.

That would have been nice Glass.

My sil had Dear Lord and Father of Mankind at her wedding. (Forgive our Foolish Ways)

Noone else found it funny!

My ILs had 'For those in peril on the sea'. Dont know whose choice it was And no FIL was not a sailor.

It's a classic! - in fact, I think we had it!

Make me a Channel of Your Peace, sung by Andrew Johnson, the young lad who was on Britain`s Got Talent about 3 years ago.

my favourite hymn is "Oh Lord my God When I in awesome wonder"
My seven year old gs told me of the newest hymn at school "Find us together Lord"

Onward Christian Soldiers

"How great thou art.." same as yours, I think, granto7?

Jerusalem every time.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ0oCmDXrVk

Sorry that link doesn't work..

I love all the Wesleyan hymns but cant do the modern ones at all. Always loved

Oh Jesus I have promised (to serve thee to the end).

We sang this on Songs Of Praise in St James Church Clacton on sea when I was 11.

I Love 'Make me a channel of your peace' www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHVz45n5a9M and also 'How great though art'

'Lift up your hearts' school hymn,always lifts mine!

susieb ... Oh Jesus I have Promised is my favourite too. My Mum loved it and she went to a a Wesleyan Church (i went to the Sunday school) and we often used to sing it while we were washing up together when I was a child.
The night before she died she was heavily sedated and I sat with her all night holding her hand trying to remember the words to her favourite hymns (can't sing for toffee..but no-one could hear me).
Oh Jesus I have Promised was one I could remember and we also had it at her funeral.

I also love 'Now thank we all our God' which we had at our wedding.

I love Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day - here it is sung by King's College Cambridge www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3DX4tu7DkE

granto7, the first link up there is "Oh Lord my God".

Can't find a "Find us together". There is a "Bind us together". Could it be that? No you tube but you can do-t-yourself if you play the guitar.
