Anyone here like hymns? I think there's something so beautiful and timeless about singing hymns from a hymnal with an organ or piano as the instrument(s). I especially like ones that are in minor keys. My favorite is O the Deep Deep Love of Jesus. Here's a few really good versions of it:
This last one is a black metal version by one of my favorite CBM bands, Dormant. I'm not sure if the lyrics are a Dutch translation of the English version (the title is modified, so I doubt it), but it's at least the same tune and it sounds really cool.
What are your favorites?

As a methodist I like the classic methodist songs like "Oh, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing". I also like (they are somehow more "hymnical") hymns of the Laestadians from Finland and Sweden. Even if I don't understand what they are singing about.

Probably cliché, but... I really love How Great Thou Art.

That was my grandfather's favorite Hymn. I never got to meet him since he died 2 years before I was born... I'd say its my favorite hymn too. I heard a country music cover of that song that gave me CHILLS.

God of the Ages Who with Sure Command ( song, better quality but instrumental) There's also an alternate version of "How Great Thou Art" called "O Mighty God, When I Survey in Wonder", but... I can't seem to find audio? I assume all of you know "How Great Thou Art" so just picture these lyrics set to that tune: O mighty God, when I survey in wonder the world that formed when once the word you said. The strands of life all woven close together, the whole creation at your table fed.
My soul cries out in songs of praise to you O mighty God! O mighty God! My soul cries out in songs of praise to you O mighty God! O mighty God!
When your voice speaks in rolls of thunder pealing, your lightning power bursts in bright surprise. When cooling rain, your gentle love revealing, reflects your promise, arcing through the skies.
My soul cries out in songs of praise to you O mighty God! O mighty God! My soul cries out in songs of praise to you O mighty God! O mighty God!
The Bible tells the story of your blessing so freely shed up on all human life. Your constant mercy every care addressing, relieving burdened souls from sin and strife.
My soul cries out in songs of praise to you O mighty God! O mighty God! My soul cries out in songs of praise to you O mighty God! O mighty God!
And when, at last, the clouds of doubt dispersing, you will reveal what we but dimly see. With trumpet call, our great rebirth announcing, we shall rejoin you for eternity.
Then we will sing your praise forevermore O mighty God! O mighty God! Then we will sing your praise forevermore O mighty god! O mighty God!
