Amazing Grace How Great Thou Art Just As I Am I Love You Lord Power In The Blood Blessed the Lord His Name is Wonderful It Is Well (with my Soul) His Eye is on the Sparrow Awesome God Prayer of St. Francis (I haven't heard this one in a long time).
The Blood of Jesus: "What can wash away my sins Nothing but the Blood of Jesus" "What can make me whole again Nothing but the Blood of Jesus" "Oh, precious is the flow that Makes me white as snow" "No other fount I know Nothing but the Blood of Jesus."
Hey Mike, thanks for starting this thread. You got me thinking back and I really enjoyed remembering all my old favorites!

I was having trouble coming up with my favorite hymn until I saw Sea Dog's post in the thread I started, Monday is Memorial Day..., in the general discussion forum.
My favorite Hymn is:
Eternal Father, Strong to Save (The Navy Hymn). I've "liberated" the verses from Sea Dog's post and am repeating them here:
Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who biddest the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea!
O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard And hushed their raging at Thy Word, Who walked on the foaming deep, And calm amidst its rage didst sleep; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea!
Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood Upon the chaos dark and rude, And bid its angry tumult cease, And give, for wild confusion, peace; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea!
O Trinity of love and power! Our family shield in danger?s hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect us wheresoever we go; Thus evermore shall rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
Please remember our servicemen and servicewomen in your prayers, for many of them have gone (and are currently) "In Harms Way" for our freedom.

PS: Please post the names of loved-ones and friends who have either sacrificed all or served in the Armed Forces, in the previously mentioned thread, so we can honor their memory/service. If we don't remember them, who will?

I absolutely love In Christ Alone and Be Thou My Vision. Recently my school had revival week, and our "theme song" was In Christ Alone. It really sums it all up in a beautiful way.
