I’ve been meaning to post this: Sherry is blogging a series on favorite hymns. “From Depths of Woe” is today focus and #90 on the top 101 list. I’ve never heard that one, but here’s the list I gave Sherry for her series. These are my top 10, more or less because if I think about these too long I’ll want to change a few.
1. Be Thou My Vision
2. Come Thou Fount
3. Before the Throne of God Above
4. O Sacred Head Now Wounded
5. God Be Merciful to Me
6. We Are God’s People
7. And Can It Be
8. Amazing Grace
9. Shine, Jesus, Shine
10. Come, Ye Sinners
Oh, THAT explains why #3 is such a good praise song. It’s not a praise song at all, but an old hymn with a new tune attached. All is explained now. My universe is back in balance.
Give that man a cigar!
Excellent list. Mine would be very similar.
Add The Solid Rock, The Love of Christ is Rich and Free, and How Sweet and Aweful is the Place and it’s a match.

Our numnber one and two choices are the same. But after that, we differ widely. I would choose for number three “Abide with Me.” Somewhere on the list would be “Onward Christian Soldiers”, “Hallelujah What a Savior” and “There is a Fountain.”
