I also enjoy performances of classic hymn lyrics with new (well written) melodies. It somehow provides a freshness to message of the song for me.

Good picks. I'd add "How Firm a Foundation."

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee.
One of my favorite hymns. Some people get cool hallucinations that tell them to kill people. Mine just try to get me into trouble. Paul Southworth |

RE: The "Hymns Worth Saving" Megathread
"O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus" Lyricist: Samuel Trevor Francis , 1875 Composer: Thomas John Williams , 1890 Samuel Trevor Francis was born on November 19, 1834 in a village north of London. His father, a merchant and artist, soon moved the family to the city of Hull, midway up the English coast. As a child, Samuel enjoyed poetry and even compiled a little handwritten volume of his own poetry. He also developed a passion for music, joining the church choir at age nine. As a teenager, however, Samuel struggled spiritually. And when he moved to London for work, he knew things weren't right in his heart. One night, as he thought of suicide while walking a bridge over the Thames, he experienced a spiritual encounter that renewed his faith. Francis later became a London merchant, but his real passion was hymn writing and open-air preaching, which occupied his remaining seventy-three years. His hymns were published in The Life of Faith and other papers and periodicals. And he traveled widely, preaching for the Plymouth Brethren. He was known throughout Great Britain and the world as an effective devotional speaker and died on December 28, 1925, at the age of ninety-two. "There is no worse heresy than the fact that the office sanctifies the holder of it.” -from Lord Acton's Axiom “Yippee ki-yay, Mother Fundamentalist” |

Ok, I'm about to show my ignorance of the subtleties of satire (or maybe my ignorance in general), but is this a "hymns you legitly like thread" or "fundie hymns you despise" thread?
