Budge's Favorite Hymn

[Budge]

[b][font="Comic Sans Ms"][center]

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.

On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.


b


When darkness seems to hide His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.



On Christ the solid Rock I stand...


b


When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.


On Christ the solid Rock I stand...[/center][/font][size=3][/b]

Matthew 18:16

[Mary-Kathryn]

My grandmother's favorite was this one. If I close my eyes, I can still hear her singing it. She was a devout Baptist woman.

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Refrain:
[b]So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.[/b]


O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.

Refrain

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.

Refrain

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.

Refrain

Long live the Pope!
His praises sound
Again and yet again:
His rule is over space and time:
His throne the heart of men:
All hail! The Shepherd Pope of Rome,
The theme of loving song:
Let all the earth his glory sing
And heav’n the strain prolong.

Beleaguered by
By the foes of earth,
Beset by hosts of hell,
He guards the loyal flock of Christ,
A watchful sentinel:
And yet, amid the din and strife,
The clash of mace and sword,
He bears alone the Shepherd Staff,
The champion of the Lord.

Then raise the chant,
With heart and voice,
In Church & school & home:
"Long live the Shepherd of the Flock!
Long live the Pope of Rome!"
Almighty Father bless his work,
Protect him in his ways,
Receive his prayer, fulfill his hopes,
And grant him length of days!


Hehehe....:

I like Budge's hymn too!

[Thy Geekdom Come]

Okay, all fun aside, is there a debate here?

[iKonstantin]

Wow I feel like I am in a class of '74 reunion. Peace and love, man. Try some more masculine and powerful hymns.

Save Your people, O Lord,
and bless Your inheritance.

Unto You I will cry, O Lord my God,
lest You turn from me in silence.





Rejoice O Virgin Mother of God, Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou amongst woman and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. For thou hast borne Christ our God, the Savior and Deliverer of our souls.

Sometimes it's nice to spend a little time building community, too, even though it may not technically be on the right board. This thread belongs here.

My favorite hymn:
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

[Cam42]

Here is my favorite hymn, set to Schubert......

Ave Maria
Gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Ave, ave dominus
Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
Et benedictus fructus ventris
Ventris tuae, Jesus.
Ave Maria


Ave Maria
Mater Dei
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Ora pro nobis
Ora, ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Nunc et in hora mortis
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Ave Maria


Sorry Budge, you're on a Catholic forum....you have to deal with our Mariology and our Latin.....and with me, you get both, what a lucky girl.

[Norseman82]

At that first Eucharist before You died
O Lord You prayed that all be one in You
At this our Eucharist again preside
And in out hearts Your law of love renew

Thus may we all one bread one body be
In this blest sacrament of unity

[b][u]We pray for those who wander from the fold
O bring then back Good Shepherd of the sheep
Back to that faith which saints believed of old
Back to that Church which still that faith does keep[/u] [/b]

Thus may we all one bread one body be
In this blest sacrament of unity

Mmm... I've only really begun to appreciate hymns in like, the last year or so. My favorite is probably the King of Love:

[quote]The King of love my shepherd is,
whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am his,
and he is mine for ever.

Where streams of living water flow,
my ransomed soul he leadeth,
and where the verdant pastures grow,
with food celestial feedeth.

Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
but yet in love He sought me,
and on his shoulder gently laid,
and home, rejoicing, brought me.

In death's dark vale I fear no ill
with thee, dear Lord, beside me;
thy rod and staff my comfort still,
thy cross before to guide me.

Thou spread'st a table in my sight;
thy unction grace bestoweth;
and O what transport of delight
from thy pure chalice floweth!

And so through all the length of days
thy goodness faileth never:
Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise
within thy house for ever. [/quote]

I'd really like that sung at my final profession. As far as my all time favorite hymns... I think Adoro Te Devote:

[quote] Godhead here in hiding, whom I do adore,
Masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more,
See, Lord, at thy service low lies here a heart
Lost, all lost in wonder at the God thou art.

Seeing, touching, tasting are in thee deceived:
How says trusty hearing? that shall be believed;
What God's Son has told me, take for truth I do;
Truth himself speaks truly or there's nothing true.

On the cross thy godhead made no sign to men,
Here thy very manhood steals from human ken:
Both are my confession, both are my belief,
And I pray the prayer of the dying thief.

I am not like Thomas, wounds I cannot see,
But can plainly call thee Lord and God as he;
Let me to a deeper faith daily nearer move,
Daily make me harder hope and dearer love.

O thou our reminder of Christ crucified,
Living Bread, the life of us for whom he died,
Lend this life to me then: feed and feast my mind,
There be thou the sweetness man was meant to find.

Bring the tender tale true of the Pelican;
Bathe me, Jesu Lord, in what thy bosom ran---
Blood whereof a single drop has power to win
All the world forgiveness of its world of sin.

Jesu, whom I look at shrouded here below,
I beseech thee send me what I thirst for so,
Some day to gaze on thee face to face in light
And be blest for ever with thy glory's sight. Amen.

I love that one too...

My minister's wife sings it to the church even all the time.

Wonderful hymn!

[cathoholic_anonymous]

"The Old Rugged Cross" is my dad's favourite hymn. I've often caught him getting a bit watery-eyed when he sings it in church, although he always denies it afterwards.

I love so many hymns that it's difficult to choose a special favourite. Here are four that I particularly like. (I've tried whittling it down to two but I can't. I'm just greedy when it comes to church music.)

Lord Jesus Christ,
You have come to us,
You are one with us, Mary's son;
Cleansing our souls from all their sin,
Pouring your love and goodness in:
Jesus our love for you we sing -
Living Lord.

Lord Jesus Christ, now and every day
Teach us how to pray, Son of God;
You have commanded us to do
This in remembrance, Lord, of you:
Into our lives your power breaks through -
Living Lord.

Lord Jesus Christ,
You have come to us,
Born as one of us, Mary's son;
Led out to die on Calvary,
Risen from death to set us free:
Living Lord Jesus, help us see
You are Lord.

Lord Jesus Christ,
I would come to you,
Live my life for you, Son of God;
All your commands I know are true,
Your many gifts will make me new:
Into my life your power breaks through -
Living Lord.

**********

For all the saints, who from their labours rest,
Who Thee by faith before the world confessed,
Thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blessed.
Alleluia, alleluia!

Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress and their Might;
Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true Light.
Allelu, alleluia!

O blest communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
All are one in Thee, for all are Thine.
Allelu, alleluia!

O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true and bold,
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
And win with them the victor’s crown of gold.
Allelu, alleluia!

And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,
Steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave, again, and arms are strong.
Allelu, alleluia!

The golden evening brightens in the west;
Soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest;
Sweet is the calm of paradise the blessed.
Allelu, alleluia!

From earth’s wide bounds, from ocean’s farthest coast,
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father, Son and Holy Ghost:
Allelu, alleluia!

But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day;
The saints triumphant rise in bright array;
The King of glory passes on His way.
Allelu, alleluia!

********

Thine be the glory risen, conqu’ring Son;
Endless is the victory Thou o'er death hast won;
Angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,
Kept the folded grave clothes where Thy body lay.

Refrain:

[i]Thine be the glory, risen conqu’ring Son,
Endless is the vict'ry Thou o'er death hast won.[/i]

Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb;
Lovingly He greets us, scatters fear and gloom;
Let the church with gladness, hymns of triumph sing;
For her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting.

Refrain

No more we doubt Thee, glorious Prince of life;
Life is naught without Thee; aid us in our strife;
Make us more than conqu'rors, through Thy deathless love:
Bring us safe through Jordan to Thy home above.

******************

Immaculate Mary, our hearts are on fire,
that title so wondrous fills all our desire.
Chorus:

[i]Ave, ave, ave Maria
Ave, ave, ave Maria[/i]

We pray for God's glory, may his kingdom come!
We pray for his vicar, our Father, and Rome.
Chorus

We pray for our mother, the church upon earth,
and bless sweetest lady, the land of our birth.
Chorus

For poor, sick, afflicted, thy mercy we crave;
and comfort the dying, the light of the grave.
Chorus

In grief and temptation, in joy or in pain,
we'll ask thee, our mother, nor seek thee in vain.
Chorus

In death's solemn moment, our mother, be nigh;
as children of Mary, O teach us to die.
Chorus

And crown thy sweet mercy with this special grace,
to behold soon in heaven God's ravishing face.
Chorus

Now to God be all glory and worship for aye,
and to God's virgin mother an endless Ave!
Chorus

The Sister Act Version is my favorite

Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
