TeresaBenedicta Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 During the summer I like to take long walks around campus (we have a very beautiful campus, very conducive to prayer) and sing as I walk. Now, I have a horrible voice, so I have to make sure no one's around to hear me. ;-) I generally sing Marian hymns (I'm on Mary's Mountain, after all). Anywho, none of that really has to do with my question... What are all y'all's favorite hymns? I really love "O God Beyond All Praising", "Humbly We Adore Thee", "Immaculate Mary", "Salve Regina", "God We Praise You", "At the Name of Jesus"... There are a lot more, that I can't think of right now. What about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zunshynn Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hmm... My absolute favorite is "Glory Be to Jesus"... both of the versions OLAM sings. Of the real traditional "hymn-type" songs, I really like "Be Thou My Vision" and "Battle Hymn of the Republic"... I liked how we sang it, anyway. I was notoriously obsessed with "To Jesus Christ Our Sovereign King" and I've always been fond of "The King of Love." That was the first "hymn" I think I ever remember hearing. And I love "At the Name of Jesus." There's a hymn on the EWTN show parable, at the very beginning that I like alot, but I can't remember what its called. There's a couple others, but they're not coming to mind right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InHisLove726 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 O Salutaris Hostia Te Deum Laudamis (sp.?) Ave Maria Pie Jesu (a lady at my Church sung this with another choir member; I had tears in my eyes) Panis Angelicus As you can tell, I am a sucker for Latin hymns, but I have English favorites as well: Let It Rain (not really a hymn, but it was sung at a retreat I went to during Adoration and I was crying) Christ Be Our Light Change Our Hearts (especially during Penance services) Christ the Lord is Risen Today (I love this Easter song!)

Is it for Christmas? Since apparently Latin counts... I also like... Caligaverunt Oculi Mei O Jesu Christe by Jaquet of Mantua O Vos Omnes Ave Verum by Bach Ave Maria by Arcadelt Sicut Cervus Te Splendor Adoramus Te Christe... can't remember which one... Jesu Dulcis Memoria... the plain one Veni Creator Jesu Rex Admirablis Adoremus in Aeternum #5 and I'm sure there are others... I have a certain fondness of Signore Fa Di Me also...

MissyP89 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) Yeah, it's a Christmas hymn. O great mystery and wonderful sacrament that animals could see the birth of the Lord lying in a manger. Blessed is the Virgin whose womb was worthy to bear Christ the Lord. Alleluia! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IMPV11p7tU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IMPV11p7tU[/url] Plus, the alto line kills me in wonderful ways. So.
