Earlier today, as I was listening to random songs on my iTunes, I was reminded of how great traditional hymns are. Growing up, I sang hymns every Sunday; and honestly I didn't like it very much. But know that I'm older, I'm able to appreciate the beautiful and powerful lyrics of these wonderful songs. While I love contemporary music, and actually rarely sing hymns anymore, there's just something about the wording of hymns that can never be replaced. (Although I have to add, I absolutely DESPISE playing hymns strait from the hymnal! It's so difficult to make it sound good). But anyways, below I listed some of my favorite lines from a few of the more popular hymns. I could make a whole book on ALL the lyrics that are worthy of being mentioned. Just go pick up a hymnal and turn to any page if you're interested in knowing what they are!
Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but know I'm found. Was blind but now I see.
By God’s Word at last my sin I learned;Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,Till my guilty soul imploring turned to Calvary...redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be 'till I dieO victory in Jesus,My Savior, forever. He sought me and bought me With His redeeming blood
