Budge Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 (edited) [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] Edited October 15, 2006 by Budge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary-Kathryn Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 (edited) 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 Edited October 15, 2006 by Mary-Kathryn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesChristi Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 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!

iKonstantin Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 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. bpat Konstantin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 [quote name='Raphael' post='1092210' date='Oct 15 2006, 03:49 PM'] Okay, all fun aside, is there a debate here? [/quote] 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 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 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 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 (edited) 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 Edited October 16, 2006 by Norseman82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zunshynn Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 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.
