hymns of faith

Posted by rayww on March 23, 2005, at 10:43:59

It has been said that if you can't pray, read the words of a hymn. I have been moved by so many hymns. Music forms a conduit to the soul.

Do you have a favorite hymn?

A few.

How Great Thou Art

"Oh Lord My God, when I in awesome wonder consider all the worlds Thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, thy power throughout the universe displayed. Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, how great thou art, how great thou art!"

Ode to Joy

"Joyful, joyful, we adore thee, God of Glory, Lord of Love..."

Clearly I'm more comfortable with songs of praise, just as I'm more comfortable with prayers of praise.

But when I'm tired I do like "Take My Hand, Precious Lord"

BuckeyeFan,
You wrote that one of your favorate hymns is, [...{nothing} but the {blood of Jesus}...].
Could you clarify what this could mean as to the {nothing} in relation to {the blood of Jesus}? Could any of the following be what you mean as to you citing the song title?
A.nothing but the blood of Jesus can cleanse your concience from dead works.
B.nothing but the blood of Jesus can give you remission of sins
C. Only the blood of Jesus can allow one to enter the Holiest
D. The Jews accepted the blame for the killing of Jesus and said ,"His blood be on us and our children." This is in the christian bible in the book of Matthew, chapter 27 , verse 25 so that one interpretation could be that [... the blood of Jesus be upon the Jews...].
E. nothing but the blood of Jesus can have one saved for eternal life in the Kingdom of God so those that do not agree in the doctrine that the blood of Jesus is needed for salvation, they will not see the Kingdom of God.
F. none of the above
G. all of the above
H. a combination of the above
J. something else.
Lou
E.

Lou, you know that Buckeye fan couldn't answer yes to most of your options under the Faith board rules. Buckeye Fan did not state that everyone has to be saved by the blood of Jesus.

I'm rather fond of Ave Maria, and I'm not even Catholic. Favorite songs don't have to be theological statements. And even if they represent what someone believes he or she should do him or herself, it doesn't mean that he or she thinks that everyone has to do the same thing.

If you are saying that the posts in question are about music and not faith, then could not the posts in question be redirected to the bosard that accommodates music appreciation?

Rayww stated that he wanted, needed words...I simply replied with some of my favorite Hymns per his request.
This is the Faith Forum..and I do have probabley 100 other Hymns I love too.
I was just trying to accomodate Rayww's request
with words AND Music ( see his quote above)

My hope is that someone was encouraged and lifted
by the words and music of a few Classic Old Hymns.

My girlfriend who died as a result of a drunk driver, was named Ray after her father, because they thought she was going to be a son. A good friend once called me a wonderful woman. The night before I discovered this PB site I had a dream about that friend. We were in heaven and the spirit of love was so overpowering that when I awoke I was still in it. I chose the name, "rayww" to remind myself that I can be a ray of light to others, and a wonderful woman, something I tend to forget.

I would like to thank you BF and Dinah for sharing some of your favorite "Godly" hymns. I may share a couple of my own. Lou Pil, please allow us to enjoy this thread. thankyou. Lou, do you have a favorite hymn that speaks to you? If so, could you also share? I'm sure there will be some who appreciate your hymn without picking it apart. Even though I may not consider all hymns shared "Godly" I can appreciate those which I do. I believe you are capable of that as well. Thanks all.

rayww,
You wrote,[...Lou Pil, please allow us to enjoy this thread...].
Are you saying that my request for a determination as to the acceptability or not in relation to the guidlines of the forum of the post in question has something to do with your enjoying the thread? I have asked Dinah to redirect the posts in the thread to the administrative board and it was her post that innitiated my response.
Also, are you meaning that by me requesting clarification from the poster of [...nothing but the blood of Jesus...]that that has something to do with you enjoying the thread? The poster could have responded with the option offered as "none of the above" or , "something different" or one of the other options but has not yet responded to my request for clarification.
You wrote,[...picking it apart...](the Hymn)
It is not my intention to {pick apart}the hymn. The statement, [...{nothing} but the blood of Jesus...wash away sins...]IMO is a statement on a mental -health forum that is questionable here due to the guidlines of the forum and I am requesting from the administration a determination. So far, it is OK by Dinah to continue the thread. The final decision will be made as I undertand it, by Dr. Hsiung who is away for a while.
As far as your inviting me to join in posting hymns that I would like, thanks for the invitation, but I feel that it is more appropriate for these type of discussions about religious music to be done via email or babblemail or on a different board that accommodates music appreciation.
Lou

I'll admit I've been a tad reactive lately, as evidenced on some of the other boards.

Believe it or not, I was trying to calm it down here, and I genuinely do want Lou to share his favorite hymn. I actually really love Israeli music.

Do you have one AntiMel? Especially for Easter?

Yes. This week I have two fav hymns, thank-you for asking. The first is "Come Unto Jesus" #125

http://www.lds.org/cm/catalogsearchalpha/1,17929,4782-1-1,00.html

Second: "Reverently and Meekly Now", #185. After it is loaded, select "words and music". This is the only hymn I am aware of where it is written in the first person, as though Jesus is singing to me (and you)

Although I'm a Buddhist, I've always been partial to the Vaughan Williams Easter hymn, "Hail Thee, Festival Day," for its joyous musical complexity and spirit of celebration and renewal.

Without endorsing any of the words of the hymn, or implying that they should apply to anyone at all, here is a link for those interested:

I wish a warm and happy Easter to all of my Christian friends!

Sincerely,

Sung to the tune of "I'm a little Teapot"

I'm a little chickie, (crouch down inside your egg) Ready to hatch!
Pecking at my shell (pecking motion)
Scratch, scratch, scratch! (scratching motion)
When I crack it open, Out I'll jump (jump out of shell)

my favourite seasonal music for Easter is Handel's "Messiah". Just wish they would perform it during the correct holiday...

I agee.
Handel's life is a fascinating study of one who overcane alot of adversity.
At one point in wrting the song he didnt leavehis house for 3 weeks! A friend reports he visited him and often found Handek in tears, sobbing from the sheer emotions he poured into his song~
The "Messiah" (or Hallelujah Chorus as its sometimes called) debut in 1742...yet remains today as one of the most moving and stirring music ever written.

Here is an intersting article about George Fridrick Handel...

There isn't, unless you count "Here Comes Peter Cottontail"... I think of Handel's Messiah as Easter music because it does not tell the story of Christmas (when it's always performed) but rather of Easter. it's always struck me funny that such a beautiful and most popular choral piece is played when it is.
