Old Hymns…

[Nate D]

I grew up with them. I love them.

This is a great version of a song that reminds me of my Grandad and I love The Lower Lights.

What are some hymns you all like?

[Seamus OReally]

I was raised in a hardcore Lutheran church. Catholicism without the Pope. So for me, it’s those huge Bach harmonizations of Luther’s lyrics. “A Mighty Fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing.”

[Chont]

well this is now my new favorite song.... will be singing this around the house.

 

[JamesE]

For whatever reason this made me think of Dennis Potter's, "Blue Remembered Hills"!

 

[Jerseystratfiend]

Always sang hymns at school every day in assembly. Morning has broken always reminds me of school

I'm not religious, but How Great Thou Art is a beautiful melody.
I learned it on C6 lap steel from Troy Brenningmeyer:

Many of those old hymns are quite lovely...and I get to play a lot of them every Sunday morning at Mass.

Me too.

My old man was an organist, choir director and school teacher in a strict Lutheran circuit. An unpleasant man he was.

Ergo I’ve got little time and less patience for hymns.

But “Abide with Me” will always have a place in my heart. It takes me right to my mom’s death bed.

Edit: I see “Amazing Grace” above. I guess I never thought of that as a hymn because of its historical roots and mass appeal. But that’s a beautiful song, too. On bagpipes it’s raw emotion.
