Gospel Hymns

[Richard Myers]

God gave the ability to sing and He inspires the writing of both words and music that He might be worshiped through song. The human voice that sings the music of God from a heart filled with gratitude and thanksgiving is far more pleasing to Him than the melody of all the musical instruments ever invented by human hands. This is something to consider when we discuss music.



Rock of Ages

It is Well With My Soul

Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Pass Me Not O Gentle Saviour

Be Thou My Vision

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Jesus is the Lighthouse

From Every Stormy Wind

I Will Sing of My Redeemer

Shall We Gather at the River?

Abide With Me

There is a Fountain 

Let the Lower Lights be Burning

Fairest Lord Jesus

O Perfect Love

Revive Us Again

Amazing Grace

I Will Sing of My Redeemer

Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me

Higher Ground

And Can it Be

Nearer My God to Thee

Jesus Lover of My Soul

'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus

Faith of Our Fathers

O God Do Thou Sustain Me

Softly and Tenderly

My Saviour's Love For Me

Near the Cross

He Leadeth Me

Love Divine

Near to the Heart of God

Amen, Richard. Who cannot help but shed a tear when the song, "It is Well" is either sung or played? That is one of the most moving hymns I have ever heard to say nothing of the story behind it. It was my grandpa's favorite. He and I used to sing it together when I was 10 and he was 55. Even then we cried.

As the Gospel is taken to all the world, sometimes there is no musical instrument to accompany the singing of hymns. This is a good alternative, especially when beginning new churches from branch Sabbath Schools and those churches with no musician to play the piano or organ. http://www.35hymns.org/  I had this set of CDs for years and have only recently passed them on to some people who would also appreciate them and use them in various venues.

You will see every song in the new hymnal has been recorded on both the piano and organ. All verses to each song are played. Various opening/closing services music is also included. I hope this valuable musical tool can be utilized as we sow the Gospel seed!
