It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

That's it, thanks

Psalm 84:7ff. in the RPCNA Psalter:

Advancing still from strength to strength,
They go where other saints have trod,
Till each to Zion comes at last,
And stands before the face of God.

&c., &c.

Deo Vindice

When I Survey the wondrous cross, by Watts
http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/w/h/e/whenisur.htm

and this by Cowper


God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sovereign will.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take:
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace:
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.

His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour:
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.

Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain:
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.

My favorite is My Jesus I Love Thee
A runner up is "Oh the Deep Deep Love of Jesus"

BTW my boys and I just did a lyric discussion on "Fairest Lord Jesus". We do them because we often don't comtemplate the words we sing on Sundays while we sing them. My aim is to have them sing them with more meaning in the future because they are actually thinking about the words to the songs.

Vonnie:
You can say that again!

For psalms, I think the AV stands above any metrical version, and they are very beautiful sung unadorned to Anglican chants. Sorry I can't give a link. For hymns-- equally hard to choose but maybe

My song is love unknown,
My Saviour's love to me,
Love to the loveless shown, that they might lovely be.
O who am I,
That for my sake
My Lord should take
Frail flesh and die?
(Samuel Crossman, 17th century)

or Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven.

Please can someone tell me, is it thought wrong for Reformed believers to keep the seasons such as Advent, Lent, Easter, Whitsun?
To me the great hymns have always been most gloriously seasonal. They are an ever-changing joy and my answer to "favourite hymn" would probably differ according to the time of year!

Chris, we sing psalm 115 the same way. It's a huge favorite with the kids. I thanked many in the thread that are personal favorites or family favorites.

One of my personal favorites is psalm 27 from the 1650 Scottish psalter to the tune of Sankey.

Very partial to "For all the Saints" ...

For all the saints, who from their labor rest
who thee by faith before the world confessed
thy name, oh, Jesus, be forever blessed
alleluia, alleluia


I still find it hard to listen to ... we sang this at the funeral of my first wife Debbie.

"From out of the depth of unbroken Infinfity arose the Question, "Who am I?" And to that Question there is the answer, "I am God!" -Meher Baba, died 1969.

"I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Christ, died 33 AD, ressurected three days later.

I am not sure if this is a hymn or spiritual song, but I adore "And Can it Be" - particularly Indelible Grace's version.

One of my favorites - By the Sea of Crystal

By the sea of crystal, saints in glory stand,
Myriads in number, drawn from every land,
Robed in white apparel, washed in Jesus’ blood,
They now reign in heaven with the Lamb of God.

Out of tribulation, death and Satan’s hand,
They have been translated at the Lord’s command.
In their hands they’re holding palms of victory;
Hark! the jubilant chorus shouts triumphantly:

“Unto God Almighty, sitting on the throne,
And the Lamb, victorious, be the praise alone,
God has wrought salvation, He did wondrous things,
Who shall not extol Thee, holy King of Kings?”

I Greet Thee Who My Sure Redeemer Art in the Trinity Hymnal. It is a beautiful expression of adoration and supplication. The tune, Tulon (10.10.10.10), is an abbreviation of Old 124 (10.10.10.10.10).

I also like RPCNA's 46C, which is also the second version of 46 in the Trinity Psalter.

"The reason why we worship God in a slight way is because we do not see God in His glory"
Jeremiah Burroughs

While this is not my favorite, it's definitely near the top of my list. I first heard it when I was attending a rural church in France. It was sung in French of course.


There are a few hymns fighting for a spot at the top of my list.

"In Christ Alone"
"A Mighty Fortress"
"Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone" (Chris Tomlin & John Newton)
"How Deep the Father's Love for Us"

Ralph Vaughan Williams knew how to write wonderful music.

Another favorite of mine is an old Vineyard song: "Your Beloved" (Check out this young lady's voice!)

My favorite hymn is "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing". I love the beautiful melody and the powerful words!

Some of my favorite lines include:

Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood;

and

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.
