When is your all-time favorite gospel hymn?

Mine is The Old Rugged Cross. Its a classic, and always brings a tear to my eye.

I'm all about the Weslyan hymns.

I can hear any of them and feel like a kid again back in my small town church.

Some of my favourites include:

(to the referee) : He's bald, he's bent, his **** is up for rent, the referee, the referee (repeat).

and

(to opposition) Your going home in the back of an ambulance (repeat)

and my all time favourite,

(to arsenal fans) Viera, oooooo, Vieria, oooooo, gave gigsy the ball, and arsenal won **** all (repeat) - this laments the time that viera lost possession to ryan giggs in the 1999 FA Cup semi final - he went on to score (incredible goal as well), dumping arsenal out of the FA cup. United went on to win the treble, Arsenal won, well, refer to the hymn.

Let me know if I misunderstood the thread please.

i'm partial to slayer's "altar of sacrifice".

hey, you didn't state whether you wanted hymns that preached the CHRISTIAN gospel... most church music is pretty and anthemic, but the satanic stuff is just so much more exciting.

Waiting the hour destined to die
Here on the table of hell
A figure in white unknown by man
Approaching the altar of death
High priest awaiting dagger in hand
Spilling the pure virgin blood
Satan��s slaughter, ceremonial death
Answer his every command

Death will come easy just close your eyes -
Dream of the friends you��ll see
Heavenly failure losing again
Move on to a new form of life

Altar of sacrifice, curse of the damned
Confronting the evil you dread
Coalesce into one your shadow and soul
Soon you will meet the undead

(lead: hanneman)

(repeat chorus)

Enter to the realm of satan!

(lead: hanneman)

Blood turning black, the change has begun
Feeling the hatred of all damned in hell
Flesh starts to burn, twist and deform
Eyes dripping blood realization of death
Transforming of five toes to two
Learn the sacred words of praise, hail satan

(lead: hanneman)

A gift of powers disposed upon you
Use them when you feel the need
Master the forces and powers of satan
Controlling the creature��s instinct
Drawn to the castles that float in the sky
Learn to resist the temptation
Watching the angels sift through the heavens
Endlessly searching for salvation

(lead: king)

I find this one helps in time of stress, enjoy Wink

The Beautiful People

I don't want you and I don't need you
don't bother to resist, I'll beat you
It's not your fault that you're always wrong
the weak ones are there to justify the strong

the beautiful people, the beautiful people
it's all relative to the size of your steeple
you can't see the forest for the trees
you can't smell your own shit on your knees

Hey you, what do you see?
something beautiful, something free?
hey you, are you trying to be mean?
if you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean

there's no time to discriminate,
hate every *beep*
that's in your way
the worms will live in every host
it's hard to pick which one they eat most

the horrible people, the horrible people
it's as anatomic as the size of your steeple
capitalism has made it this way,
old-fashioned fascism will take it away

Oh yes.

How we lost the Cold War with a song like this, I'll never know.

I don't have a religious bone in my body, but I love hymns and Christmas carols. Nearer my god to thee is one of my top ones. (I also make it a point to check out the stained glass and steeples in small town churches.)

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Come, thou fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
mount of thy redeeming love.

Here I raise my Ebenezer;
here by thy great help I've come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.

O to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart, O take and seal it,
seal it for thy courts above.



Nearer My God to Thee is another one of my favorites.

"Open My Eyes" by Clara H. Scott

http://www.voiceoftherockies.com/open_my_eyes.htm

I like music with pungent dissonances.
If you are a music theory buff, you can find four different dominant seventh chords in this hymn: on Ab, Eb, Bb, and C.

This is probably a world record.
