Lead Kindly Light
Teach Me to Walk in the Light

It used to be "Come Come Ye Saints". I even saw the Mormon Tabernacle Chior sing the song this past summer. There have been major life changes this year which led me to become inactive. The only affiliation I have with the church is through this web-site.
I no-longer appreciate or like any hymn the church sings.

O' Divine Redeemer
Because I have been given much
I know that my Redeemer lives
Families can be together forever
I believe in Christ
O Holy Jesus
I need thee every hour
Abide with me
As now we take the Sacrament
High on the Mountain Top

Popcorn popping on the apricot tree. Anything sung by the Primary kids because they know how to read music.

Unfortunately this ability is lost upon graduation from primary.
Whether a song is Brightfuly, thoughtfully, joyfully , vigorously, or fervently they are all sung and played the same.

For the record
This is vigorously. YouTube - Scotland the Brave

I really like:

I believe in Christ
Come Come ye Saints
Be still my soul
I need thee every hour

Here are 3 of my favorites, linked to MP3 audio, including my favorite part of each:

The Morning Breaks (#1, Listen as MP3)

Verse 1:

The morning breaks, the shadows flee;
Lo, Zion's standard is unfurled!
The dawning of a brighter day (2x),
Majestic rises on the world.


Lead, Kindly Light (#97, Listen as MP3)

Verse 2:

I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou
Shouldst lead me on.
I loved to choose and see my path; but now,
Lead thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will.
Remember not past years.


Master, the Tempest Is Raging (#105, Listen as MP3)

Chorus:

The winds and the waves shall obey thy will:
Peace, be still.
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea
Or demons or men or whatever it be,
No waters can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean and earth and skies
They all shall sweetly obey thy will:
Peace, be still; peace, be still.
They all shall sweetly obey thy will:
Peace, peace, be still.

How Great Thou Art.. I must have heard it over a thousand times in the past thirty years, but everytime I hear it I get a lump in my throat. When we sing it in Church I have never gotten through the third verse without having to stop.
