Is It Just In The South Or Do Candidates In Other Regions Use Church Hymns In Their Ads?

hymn — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:36:54 +0000

If not, what theme do they use? I swear, every local politician around here has either Amazing Grace or The Old Rugged Cross piping through their ads. Considering they’re all liars, it just adds to my image of them as hypocrites.

Presbyterian And Non Denominational Church/ceremony?

hymn — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 17:37:15 +0000

My fiance and I are both Christian, but he is Presbyterian and I am Non Denominational. When it comes to the ceremony, he want’s it to be in a Presbyterian church with one of their Pastors. I’m not at all familiar with how they do things.
I used to go to a very modern, contemporary church and am more comfortable with that style than the old pew, hymn, organ style of church.
Honestly, I would rather be married outside. No church service at all!
Can anyone explain the differences to me and possibly offer a solution?

Does Anyone Know The Name Of A Hymn That Goes “put Your Faith In Things Eternal, Hold On To God’s….?

hymn — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 17:38:23 +0000

…never changing hand? I think this is an old Pentecostal hymn. It’s sung in black churches a lot, I think. Any help would be much appreciated.

I Hate Church But I Have To Go. What Should I Do?

hymn — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 17:36:57 +0000

So basically my mom and my grandma attend this little Lutheran church in my town. It’s super traditional and super BORING. I used to consider myself a Christian but recently I’ve been pulling away from it. I don’t /want/ to pull away from this religion but I’m having trouble figuring certain aspects of it out…
In any case, I also go to a Baptist school and attend Chapel every thursday. I don’t mind these chapel services! For one, I’m with my friends. The other thing is that I can really relate to what the speaker is saying. This is one thing that I don’t get out of the church services at my Lutheran Church. Another thing is that I enjoy singing the songs much more so than the old hymns at the Lutheran church. Everything is aimed towards my age group.
These are some of the many reasons that I don’t enjoy the Lutheran church I’m forced to attend and some of the many reasons I enjoy the Chapel services at my school! I just feel that the sermons at the Lutheran church aren’t aimed towards teens and I therefore get absolutely nothing out of it.
I have explained all of this to my Mother and she says she understands but she still wants me to go to Church with her =.=. She usually tries to make me feel guilty by saying that she wants to “share this experience with me”. I also understand her point of view and it does make me feel bad that I don’t want to go. However I cannot escape the torture that my traditional Lutheran church provides. I understand that many of you will say things along the lines of “You should obey your Mother” or “Suck it up” but that is so incredibly hard to do when Church is such extreme torture. (It’s hot, sticky, sweaty, boring and the chairs are uncomfortable on top of everything else)
What do I do?

Why Does It Seem Like You either Have To Go To A Church That Sings Hymns And Is Spiritually …?

hymn — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 17:37:08 +0000

kind of dry or a church that clearly has LIFE in it but only sings repetitive praise choruses?
I’m not against the praise choruses — if people like them, great. But for me I have a *deep* love of old hymns — it actually makes me feel *less* worshipful to sing praise choruses than to sing old hymns that are packed full of God’s truth.
Do I just need to suck it up and go to a church with music that I hate? Or go to a church where I’m totally excited to be praising God by singing hymns but everyone else seems half dead?
Anyone know what I’m talking about? I’m not trying to criticize anyone — truly. But I feel like I have to sacrifice part of myself to go to either ‘kind’ of church!

Church Organist Too Old?

hymn — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 17:37:12 +0000

I am a college age student, and member of a church choir. The people in our choir all know how to sing parts, however, our organist is 93 years old, and has long surpassed her retirement time. It seems none of the younger adults and students want to sing in our choir, because of our director/organist, and our music program is slowly, but surely declining. What can I do to encourage the church elders to go to her and ask her to retire. Is it wrong to do that???? I am an organist myself, and she is so greedy with her position, that she never even lets me play for an occasional hymn. However, our congregation has the financial means to hire a professional organist, and only 2 years ago bought a brand new very nice digital/electric organ, and there is so much that it can do. Is it wrong for us to want this??? many of the other choir members/congregants feel the same way??? Has anyone else experienced a similar situation???

Old Time Hymns…?

hymn — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 17:37:15 +0000

Older folks….do you miss the old time hymns in church? Or has your place of worship gone modern ? Do you think the preaching is different today? Do you miss the old time preaching?

People From Church Say That Christian Rock Is Satan’s Music, What Do You Think?

You Know That Old Hymn “send The Light?” What The Heck Is A “macedonian Call”?

hymn — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:37:11 +0000

These are the words:
There’s a call comes ringing over the restless wave,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
There are souls to rescue there are souls to save,
Send the light! Send the light!
Send the light, the blessèd Gospel light;
Let it shine from shore to shore!
Send the light, the blessèd Gospel light;
Let it shine forevermore!
We have heard the Macedonian call today,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
And a golden offering at the cross we lay,
Send the light! Send the light!
I first heard it when I played the organ at a protestant church. We never sang it in the Church I went to.
That one phrase always baffled me: what is “the Macedonian call”?
Any ideas?
Serious and smart-alecky answers always welcome….

Where? Words And Music For An Old Hymn, Translated From Tersteegen, “a Thousand, A Thousand Thanksgivings” ?

Please help! I’d like to use it in a church service and can’t find it anywhere! Many thanks if you find it for me! Part of it goes something like:

that I might for ever go free;
a thousand, a thousand thanksgivings,

Why Do People Usally Only Attend Church Of Their Own Race?

Christians, Do You Go To A Church Where They Honor The “old” Traditional Hymns?

hymn — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 17:37:08 +0000

The church I used to attend did. The one I attend now sing mostly modern worship songs and occasionally honor the old, traditional hymns. My family and I love the traditional hymns. My favorite is “How Great Thou Art.” I requested it to be sung at my baptism. The words always brought tears to my eyes. My husband likes “Abide With Me.”
You are right, the words themselves are like sermons that make us love and appreciate our Lord more. It is true. I get more out of the old hymns than the contemporary songs although there are some that I like especially those which are based on the psalms. I like the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir because their songs exalt God and remind me of His goodness.
Any song that glorifies and honors God and encourages us in our spiritual walk is a song worth listening to.

“my Savior’s Love” – Is There A Contemporary Artist/band Who Sings This Old Hymn?

hymn — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 17:37:16 +0000

My church is very alive and upbeat often singing Contemporary Chrsitian or Hymns with a more upbeat tune. Is there anyone today or a couple years back who has this on an album I could download from iTunes or a similar source? I love this song!
Thank you!

What’s This Old Hymn Called?

hymn — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 17:36:52 +0000

I don’t know much of the song. They play it in JFK during Kennedy’s televised funeral. They also sing it in Titanic, while on the ship “in church”. These are just fragments of the hymn:
“……………………………….…
………………………………..…
Pro-tect them by thy God & hand?
From e-vry pe-ril on, the land
.
Oh spi-rit whom thy Fa-ther sent
To spread a-part? the fir-ma-ment
Oh wind, of Hea-ven
By thy might
Save all who dare the ea-gle’s flight
And keep them by thy watch-ful (..?…)
From e-vry pe-ril ……?
.
Sorry I can’t remember more. Any clues?

Do Some Church’s Need To Modernise Their Hymns?

hymn — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:36:44 +0000

I like to attend Church and sing along with the congregation, but most of the hymn’s in my Church (SDA) are old. Should they sing more modern songs(or modernise the old ones) to attract more young people?
